OK, so I think I want to play too. If it flops, I won’t be too worried about it. I thought it would be worth a shot.

I think I have a good idea for a pass. I’ve read a LOT of older posts, but haven’t read them all to know if this theme has been tried.

I’d like to propose what we can call “The Shades of Gray” pass. Because a majority of us prefers maduros, I think this could make for an interesting litte project.

To play on the pass rule that a “put” must be of equal or greater quality/value than the “take," my stipulation is that it must also be as dark or darker; increased “madurosity” :p

I would think that holding a maximum two trades to the rule would be sufficient (i.e. a brother sees three maddies he likes, but only has two darker and a Monte #2 to put, that would be acceptable; even applauded ;))

I have arranged a potential roster in order of least to most maduro/oscuro. I want to include a fairly wide spectrum of value and a few gimme’s in terms of shade (see below). I'll research the exact sizes if this idea piques some interest.

The true gimmie: Don Tomas Candela (you should get some sort of prize if you can “beat” this with a less maduro :)

CAO Annie Cameroon
Graycliff Professionale Blue Label
H. Upmann Annie No. 3 6x50

Thinkin', Thinkin'..... (A lot of smoke in the room while I'm thinkin'). :0 ;) :lookup: :sneaky:
Still thinkin'. I'll get back to you after work this evening so i had some time to think about it.... :D :thumbs: :p
 
I'll play if I can be last (or near last) in the rotation. Baby is comiing soon and I don't want to have it the pass held up.

Absolutely SD!

I was thinking that I would ship it across counrty first. It'll have to hapen at least once and it might as well be at my expence. You'd by default get it last this way :thumbs:

So, as usual, SD is the first to sign up for a pass. We have one. Anyone else want to play?

I'd be interested in participating, if you'll let a newb have a crack at his first pass. I've read the rules and guidelines, seems to make sense.

When would it begin?
 
I love your idea Dixie but I have to say I'm a bit intimidated :0 However I've decided to get over myself and just do it :p I've got a few maddies hiding in my humi somewhere and should be able to find them by the time the pass gets to me. In short, I'd love to join your pass if you'll have me :D

Sure, Caffeine. :thumbs: Would you mind putting your address in your profile? It'll be one fewer thing to worry about later.

When would it begin?


I'm loking for 8 participants in addition to me. If we can get enough interest...Tuesday, September 2.


In short, I'd love to join your pass if you'll have me :D

Craig, my friend, you're always invited! :)
 
I'd be happy to add my address into my profile, but I do not see a listing that specifically asks for mailing address. Where is this info. typically included?
 
CM -Folks usually put it under "Location" in your profile or you can put it "Interests" which gives you more space.
 
I'd love to be included in this one as I am a BIG maduro fan. My info is in my profile.

Come on guys! Someone jump in from the west coast so I don't have to go first. I can't take the pressure!!! :p :0 :p
 
Well, I guess it's obvious that this won't be going out Tuesday :(
