Great idea for a pass.  Out of my league for sure, so have fun!

OK i did send a few invites, if you were in the last pass you got an invite, if I missed somebody that invite wheel scroll thing was a pain on my Mac so forgive me! Would like to ship out the box next weekend if possible or maybe a little later to give people a chance to sign up. I think we had like 12 last time and that was pretty good so I guess we will see. I'm working 3rd shift so if I don't get back to a request or a response right away I'm sleeping LOL, but I will try to be more active as this pass is overdue and I think everyone enjoyed it 3 years ago.

Adam, thanks for the invite

Awesome buddy sounds good!

Off to a solid start, we had a super pass last time and there was a lot of good sticks, and I even found a few new favorites that I added after. As I'm sure a few others did too.

We will just let it ride for a little bit and hopefully get to a good number we all feel comfortable with. And don't be shy man I'm sure a lot of people are thinking it's out of your league but you can't tell me you don't have 3-4 sticks put away for special occasions that you'd like to turn another geek onto, maybe something they never would have thought of. Again take a look at the forum on the last pass and you will see everyone had a good time and looked forward to getting the Xmas box full of killer smokes :smoker:

Thanks for the invite but I only got a few special cigars, and I just can't part with them unfortunately. I appreciate it though!

Get on in here!  This was a blast of a past last time around.  Remember also, you don't have to swap out the whole box.  Two or three well placed P/T in a pass like this can make it really fun!

I was contemplating but I see the cigar pricing for the pass shows a minimum of $15 dollars and I am hard pressed to find one of the seed cigars that even makes the cut.
Most are $8-$14  :confused:

I can't say I was impressed with the seed list (sorry Adam), but figured others would add some variety into the mix!

Dang man cutting me out at the knees before the pass even started thanks guys! Lol I changed the min to $10 the idea isn't necessarily the price of the cigar but more when, where & why you smoke them. So for example I smoke the monster cigars around Halloween cuz of there theme, and I haven't had a chance to get new ones as my buying has been real spotty the past few years, so those are what I had. The VSG"s I usually buy a box and smoke them just when I have my own personal free time and I'm not being bothered so it a special occasion with me and a glass of whisky. The #9 & #52 Pigs I was fortunate enough to snag and I always smoke some kind of pig on my bday if I'm able to score them. Ahhh did find a couple of sticks from the last pass and I'll re-seed those as said I would at the end of the last pass. I'm still getting settled in my new place so I haven't located everything but keep an eye on the seed cigars once I find all my humidors I'll add a few more to the selection. It was a fun pass and some good stories, not gonna pressure anybody to join the rules are pretty loose and I'm not looking to be a dictator about P/T everyone invited or who wants to join I'm sure will do fine, I'm not as concerned about price like other passes are just that they have some sort of meaning to you...that's more of the idea behind the pass. So again if someone is on the fence I'd encourage them to join, as the pass was a lot of fun to hear about geeks stories but it's not a big deal if someone doesn't. Just looking to have fun  :-)

Wasn't cutting you out. I just saw the cigar minimum at $15 and saw the seed list at $8-$10 cigars. Found that a little odd.
If you weren't concerned about price the minimum shouldn't have been set so high.  :confused:

All is good buddy yeah price in this pass to me ins't as important as the story and there were many good ones last pass so looking forward to this one...would like to see you hop in the pass bro looks like a good group. I updated the seed cigars right quick, as this was actually a good reminder and something I wanted to do for this new pass. Was to use seed cigars that came from the last pass 3 years ago, and I just found 4 of them and I will keep looking for a few others :biggrin: I think most have been smoked by now since it's been 3 years, but I knew there was a few I put away just to use as seeds for this new pass as I thought that would be a fun twist :angel:

Just want to have fun man, I'm not on very much or as much as I have been (life has been brutal & crazy the past 3 years) so this is just to get back in the swing a little and fun with people I haven't talked to much, but it's a great community & I'm glad to be a part of. So everyone that joins has to have fun :bigthumbs:

We are up to 5 seed cigars from the last pass :) cool! I will keep looking but that's pretty sweet they have been in good hands for 3 years :biggrin: I will attempt to find more but I'm pretty happy with locating those 5 cigars, that's pretty awesome :smoker:

And Chuck I put that Rex in there for you, but no promises it makes it lol I know you can't get those anymore. That is from the buy we did with Joe (Condition Zero) many moons ago I know you really dug that cigar and I still had 2 left. Great little smoke, and I bet that thing will smoke great now all these years later :thumbsup:
