The Spring Break Road Trip Pass

[Sportsdls]

Welcome to the Spring Break College Road Trip Pass!

So I started graduate school this pass fall, and due to the new city, new studies, and heavy workload, I wasn't able to enjoy my spring break quite like I should have. Since I couldn't make it on a road trip this spring break, I'm sending my sticks around the country in my place. So I'm looking for all the students, teachers, and anybody else involved in the pursuit of education who needs a distraction. If you are interested in passing but don't fit the bill, send me a PM and if there is room we can try and make this happen. First time passers are ok, but this is not first come first serve, I will be the judge of who is in or out. Please PM me any interest in joining the pass.

The Twist: Everyone in the pass must send me one question related to their field, along with the answer to be used for a contest later on in the pass. Try not to make it too easy, or easy to find by putting it in google.

Okay, on to the pass.
The Rules - Standard CP rules apply:
1. Value for Value
2. Rarity for Rarity
3. No limit on P/T's
We will all be the judge on these factors, so please put up your P/T's as soon as you know them. Use the reference threads for MSRP on HTF sticks and at least 2 or 3 retailers for other prices. This may be helpful. If you are unsure of something feel free to PM me any questions.
Other stuff:
Please check the box contents upon pass arriving, make sure beads are hydrated and add a little distilled water.
Please send box using some kind of delivery confirmation or tracking, and post the number in the thread
Please PM the next person before sending off the pass, to assure they are ready to receive it and you have the correct address
Please leave cigars in baggies unless they are your takes, to ensure the least chance for damaging the cigars
Please ENJOY THE PASS!

If anyone has any concerns about the rules, etc. please post them and I will adjust them as necessary.

Just a quick suggestion... You may want to indicate natty/maddie/sg/etc. for some of the sticks. For instance, the AF 858 and Padron Annis could use it.

A proposed question, and answered by Sport to post it:

Since this pass is the first for many of us, including myself, I'm sure we'll all have a ton of questions. That stated, here is my question:

What is a comparable PUT for a TAKE of a HTF stick in your opinion? (HTF= Opus, Anejos, etc.)


Like Sport and I spoke about, MSRP is the usual plumbline for a put/take, but when a HTF stick is involved, it gets pretty convolluted. Example, althought most Opus sticks MSRP at 9-10 USD, it's pretty reckless to put a RP Decade and take an Opus. Sport mentioned rarity for rarity; someone can't take an Anejos, then put a Padron Anni. Although Annis MSRP much higher than Anejos, the average consumer can pick one up online.

Someone chime in and speak your mind, so we know what we're dealing with here...
