It's that time of year, again. I'm gonna start this pass with 20 solid, everyday smokes in the $3 - $5 range. The rules are pretty simple: you e-mail me your proposed takes and puts, I e-mail you back, you do the deed and post puts and takes, you send to the next unlucky person. Since this is old hat to me, I may have over-simplified so....if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Steve R's post, "A Few Thoughts", is required reading. Given the price range we're doing, I hope value for value is not an issue. I would also add the importance of VARIETY. Help keep the pass interesting; consider brand, size and wrapper when choosing your puts.
ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY EQUAL NUMBER OF TAKES AND PUTS. I know that I cannot enforce this, but please be considerate of those down the line. This pass will not have a set order and could be criss-crossing the US quite a few times. Don't make postage costs burdensome.
This will be a "virtual" pass with no paperwork. I will make the changes to the cigar list on this first post. Herewith is that list:
11 - Indian Tabac Maduro Tomahawk/Candela Toro (2 fer)
17 - Puros Indios Maxima Reserva Toro
18 - Spanish Heirloom Churchill
25 - Felipe Dominica "T"
32 - Macanudo Cafe Tudor
40 - Gurkha Class Regent Toro
49 - El Rico Habano Double Corona
52 - Perdomo Estate Seleccion Regente
53 - Perdomo Cuban Parejo Gigante Rosado
57 - AF 858
66 - Rocky Patel Connecticut Churchill
70 - Carlos Torano Nicaraguan Selection Churchill
72 - K. Hansotia Symphony Robusto
74 - RyJ Reserva Real Toro
75 - CAO Criollo Pato
76 - Torano Signature Toro
77 - Graycliff Blue Professional Corona Especiales
78 - CAO CX2 Toro
79 - Cabaiguan Corona Extra
80 - ERDM Robusto Larga
There will be a contest. In fact, the pass is the contest. I will write out a label for each participant and place it in an unmarked envelope. My son will choose an envelope at random and I will send the pass on to that person. That person will do their takes and puts then choose an envelope and send it on to that person (be sure to e-mail me the name of the next recipient along with the DC#). We continue doing this until there is a "Last Herfer Standing". The last person chosen gets to keep all the cigars in the pass. They merely return the Rubbermaid container to me.
Hopefully, there will be 12-15 people interested. If you are interested, please e-mail me your name, board name, snailer and telephone number.
