I love small cigars, they're perfect for shorter windows of time or as a warm-up or nightcap. As far as I can tell, there has been little love for the "little guys" in passes in the last couple of years, so I aim to change that. Things have also been a little slow around here lately, so let's get some more swapping in!

The aim of this pass is to deliver some high-quality small cigars, some of them favorites of mine, into the hands of Geeks to be tried out, and for you to share your favorite smalls with others.

SIZE RESTRICTIONS: No cigars over 5" in length. No ring gauge restrictions (but no cigarillos, please). The intent of this pass is to focus on petit coronas, petit robustos, and small figurados. Note that standard robustos DO fit the criteria of this pass (and I have included a couple in the seed list), but I prefer to see only a handful of them in the pass. Therefore, I would like to limit the number of standard robustos in this pass to 5, maximum, at any given time.

CI and Famous pricing, or nearest equivalent that can be found. Standard CG cigar pass rules apply. If you cannot replace ISOM with ISOM or direct price for price, please message the mod for P/T approval. Regular status required for enrollment, unless you have a senior Geek vouching for you. Canadian/International Geeks are welcome to participate virtually near the end of the pass - I am always international friendly!

Huh. Had that sitting alongside the robustos and it looked no longer. Not sure if I have a CC to replace it with, but I'll check.

We haven't even started and I'm breaking my own rules. :biggrin:

I switched up the description to extend length to 5.25", since that will allow a few funky-sized petit coronas, but not allow gran robustos. It would allow something like the Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark, but I always thought that was a fat little stick. :thumbsup:

Everyone's in so far and that makes 7. This will probably be open for a little while, as I'd like to have 10 to get things cooking.

I'm pleased to institute the first ever Cigar Geeks "cigar pass sampling policy", wherein the Geek whose turn it is in the pass is allowed to sample up to three sticks by smoking a maximum of 1/2" of his or her chosen cigar(s). A cigar may not be sampled past half off its original overall length AFTER you snip off the bit that you "lipped".

Winter is coming up, things are slowing down for me, seems like a good time to jump in on a pass if you will have me.

I definitely want in. With going to school and having 6 kids and hopefully starting a job soon, longer cigars are out. Need those shorter smokes!

Cool, glad to have you Chris!

I have also accepted a request from Art to join. I swear he was in another pass at some point, but I can't find him in any of the likely passes or see any feedback on his profile for them. Am I just confused? :?:

Art, I'll put you early in the pass order and we'll make sure you know when the box is headed to you so that there's no confusion.

This puts us up to 12 participants, which is enough to get us rolling. I will keep this open until Friday, 8/19 or so, for anyone that has not yet joined, and for me to finish getting my ducks in a row.
