Ok... review #1.
First -- THANKS! to HBooker for letting me be in this pass. I love passes in general, but this one is particularly fun.
(And thanks to Pepe for having me in his pass, which was the turning point when I realized what should've been obvious: that I really like Maduro cigars.)...
Hmmm, I don't know, I'll have to think about it.
<think, think>
Ok, you're in :)
Hey, guys -- I've been a slacker all weekend, so I didn't put together the order or the starting cigars, yet. And it looks like I'm going to slack most of Monday, too. :) I'll try to post everything Monday...
Ok, then...
Mickey
Matalo
Joe
Gekko777
Techmaster-1
& Smokin' Tone bringing up the rear.
(Not the official order.)
I'll get cracking on the stories of the starting lineup cigars, and then I guess we'll have the world's smallest pass.
No biggie -- I guess it just wasn't the right time, or...
Woo-hoo, it's almost here!
Ok, just to make sure I understand correctly...
* Part of the box is a normal old box pass -- puts, takes just like normal.
* There'll be an envelope/baggie/shoebox with a single cigar in it from Benjeiv marked "smoke me", I should take it, smoke & review it (and...
Well, either this is an idea that's ahead of its time, or this is going to be a short & fast one. We got

Need one more to make it a pass -- and I'm going to extend sign-ups to 9/13, just to make sure Tone is out of the house when...
Great, so Dave ups the ante, again -- I get 45+ cigars in exchange for 2-7 (pick your favourite number) good cigars plus $80 in postage...
:p
Then again, if I go last, maybe it'll be cheaper to mail it -- except I already volunteered to be first. What WAS I thinking?!?!
:lookup:
Just...
Awww, last again?!
Oh, wait -- I'm in the middle. No, I'm at the beginning of the pass-back!
Aaaah! This is so confusing! ;)
Ok, I'm better, now. Everyone takes out a cigar and puts in a slice of their favourite pizza -- got it :D
Any time, Tone! :)
Hey, I've got two gifts here in my bag that I can't account for who gave them to me.
* Indian Tabac Robusto (?) torpedo (?)
* Cusano Selection Pyramid (?)
Will someone fess up as to being the one who put those in? I couldn't find it in this thread, either.
Thanks!
Ok, this baby just landed home and man, oh man! There're more gift cigars than pass cigars in here!
You guys are too much -- thanks again to everyone for being in my first pass. This is really great.
Dave, you can move this to "completed", if you want...
December is one of the best months for a cigar pass! Other good months include January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October and November :)
Hey, drop me a line when you get home. I live right up the road from you (Santa Cruz Mountains), and dive MRY frequently...
Of course you can play, Joe -- folks have been generous to you and you're struck with the need to share, right? That's all that's required :)
Ok, that's Mickey, Matalo, Joe (and maybe SamGus) -- halfway to a pass and it's not even the weekend, yet :)
You can qualify once you've read enough of the rules to be able to tell ME whether you qualify or not :p
Ok, so far I got Micky (qualifies because I know him from elsewhere and asked him to sign up at CP and join in), Matalo and maybe SamGus. A good start. Again, this'll be open through the...
Heh, that's pretty funny, since *I* don't even check my own passes first (I always check if there're any new open passes for me to join :D)
Anyway, glad you enjoyed it. Note that I just opened another pass and it'll be taking subscribers for a couple weeks. It's a little bit geared toward...
I understand entirely, which is why I said "...or a copy of the gift" -- I try to smoke 'em as they're given to me, too :)
...But nothing's stopping you from going to the local cigar store, is it?
Well, whichever. We'll be open for a couple weeks yet, so think on it, and let us know...
