Everything is $1.00

[golfgar]

This pass has it’s genesis from a Moki post that I thought was a fun post. In my possession are a bunch of cigars that cost $1.00 each. They are all long filler, hand rolled cigars (no flavored cigars). Various sizes and brands. The idea is that each participant grabs a bag of 5 cigars from the pass. Each bag is numbered and each cigar in the bag is numbered. In each bag are four $1.00 cigars and one that is not part of the dollar cigar buys. Then take and put from the pass cigars (AF stuff) as per usual. The fiver is for you to experience the quality of everything is a dollar.

Each participant should identify the one cigar in the fiver that is not a $1.00 cigar and post which one they think it is.

The regular pass part of this includes all Fuente (distributed or made by) cigars as listed below.

A short review of the Dollar cigars (not the AF stuff)is expected. Pictures are nice. I have done the first one in a following post (not yet posted). It was hard to figure out how to go about including you in this little project, so, I thought a pass was the best way to go. The AF pass cigars are various quality, some high end stuff. Pass rules are below and are generally the normal rules except you have to take a bag of 5 and post the comments. After it is all done, I will post what the vendor had to say about the cigars and see if they match. (BAHAHA) No two bags are the same. (I bought a lot of this stuff)

If you want to play, PM me. In about a week or so I will post the players and the order.

The Pass Rules:
0. Take a bag of 5 cigars from the box.
1. When you receive the pass, please do an inventory and make sure everything is there and numbered correctly.
2. Please inspect the box and packaging materials for proper cigar packing. Either post your concern or contact me directly.
3. Do not remove the cigars from their baggies unless they are part of your approved P&T’s.
4. Please post your proposed P&T’s in the forum prior to the pass arriving to you. If anyone has an issue with someone else's plays, please be polite about it and post your concerns in the forum.
5. P&T’s should be equal and all should be value for value, since this is all Fuente, there is no rule about ISOM. But PUTTING all Fuente’s is NOT necessary.
6. Please notify next person in line via a post in this thread prior to shipping to confirm they are ready.
7. Ship package via USPS and post the DC# in the forum.

Another pass........... :whistling:

I'm down

 

[golfgar]

I know......kinda been a lot lately, but I bought all these "very good cigars" and didn't know whether just to send them out and share or have a pass, I decided on pass, so maybe my judgement about another pass was wrong.

 

[indyrob]

Sign me up if there's room and you'll have on board!

 

[OutlawD]

You don't put anything for the grab bag of five cigars, only for the AF stuff in the pass. You must take a bag of 5 for the taste test....those 5 are "included" just for playing. Please do not put back any dollar cigars, this is blind taste test.

[indyrob]

OKay, so OutlawD's question cleared up a few questions I had brewing myself.

This is a great idea, hope to be a part of it.

??? you dont want a fistful of decesions? ??? ??? :whistling:

 

[golfgar]

I edited the first post in hopes that it may clarify things a bit. It was sort of hard to make sure it was clear that the bag of 5 is not expected to be replaced. They are for the "taste" test.

 

[bchem]

I'd like to be in....as long as it isn't taboo to be 2 passes at once.

Soo...PM sent, and if it's bad form, let me know.

Thanks

 

[OutlawD]

Sure, I'll play if you'll have me. It sounds like fun. And I would try a bunch of cigars that I wouldn't otherwise.

Thanks,
