This is a thread generated automatically by the Cigar Pass system to discuss the Cigar Pass named 'Virtual Yankee Gift Exchange'.

Use this link to return back to the Cigar Pass.


Here are the rules for this pass:

Each participant will send the moderator 5 cigars: 2x $5-10 value sticks, 2x $10-15 and 1 Hard to find stick. along with $5.95 to cover shipping (flat rate box)

I would then assign these cigars into lots of 2 (1x $5-10 + 1x $10-15) or 1 hard to find stick and each lot assigned a letter designation.  The identity of the packages will be shared with the donator, so that they do not accidentally pull their own contributions.

The participants will be randomized, and starting with the first person, they would choose a package. The cigars in that package will then be revealed and a photo posted by me. The next person would then either choose a new package out of the pile or steal a revealed lot. If stolen, the person who was stolen from gets a turn again to pick or steal. This would go on until all lots are taken.

A lot can only be stolen 3 times before it is frozen and can no longer be taken.

You cannot directly steal back from the person who just stole from you.  However, you could be stolen from and through a series of steals get your turn back.  Then you are free to steal your package back.  Just none directly without something taking place in between.

At the end, everyone will end up with 3 lots (3-6 cigars depending on whether they got the HTFs or not).

I have a Google Speadsheet that will be used to track each package, its contents and how many times it has been taken.


Unfortunately, because of shipping costs, the $5.95 would be limited to US residents. If Non-US geeks want to participate, we would need to work out shipping costs separately.

Also, because of the time that this pass will take, I am limiting it to 12 members.  I will accept requests to join until after the 4th of July weekend, and will randomize the sing ups to see who gets in.  Still, you must have at least veteran status and no negative pass feedback.

Have fun everyone.

I used to sit outside all night and drink bud lite and smoke Marlboros and everyone thought I was a bum. Now I sit outside all night and drink craft beers and smoke cigars and everyone thinks I have class.

I forgot to say that if me being a Canuck poses any kind of problem as far as participating in this pass, I won't mind and could give my spot (If I get one ;-) ) to a US geek if needed.

Jackal

The only two issues are speed of getting your cigars to me (we can do this off to the side with some pics as stand ins) and shipping cost.  Again, can easily be worked out.  So no problem.

This is either going to be the most awesome pass ever, or the biggest cluster ^&%@ that this site has seen.  Time will tell.

Last call on this one.  I have space for two more.

Jackal

Alright guys.  We are going to kick this one off.

Everyone will need to send in their parts of this pass.  They will consist of 2 x $5-10, 2 X $10-20 and one Hard to find/ exceptional stick.

Use CI box pricing as a guide.

For all US residents, I will also need $5.95 to cover your postage.  This can be either enclosed in the box with your cigars, or sent to my ppal jackalopej@dslextreme.com

Please get these into the mail by the end of the week, so that the fun can begin.

I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize
