FYI any international members will be playing "virtually" to reduce risk of customs issues.
Thanks for letting me play.
Hope this really brings Spring along, at least to us in states and provinces that get cold weather in winter and desperately need warmth after so much snow and cold.
With yet freezing conditions and more snow in the forecast for the near future, here's to hoping I'll be smoking my takes from this pass outside, without 50 pounds of winter clothing and equipment on. :biggrin:

I'd love to partake in a pass some day, when I am good and ready ;-)
The playing "virtually" term was introduced to me in a herf last Friday. But could someone elaborate a bit on how it actually works?

"In order to avoid to have the whole pass box cross borders, international geeks play virtually meaning that, usually placed at the end of the pass, we ship our puts to the organizer (05 venturer in this case) once he gets the box back and he (05venturer) then sends us our takes.
That way we can still play but only a low amount of sticks actually make it across borders.
It's pretty common around here, I've seen it happen here with folks from Canada, Korea, Norway and other places without a glitch."
Aha, thanks for clearing that up Kent :-)
We have 8 in so far :dancing:
Would like to get 12 more by the 20th and get this baby rolling :rocker:
I'd love to get in if you'll have me!
Thanks for having me
QuoteIndyGopher - 3/16/2014 5:07 PM

Gracias for the invite! Looking forward to another fun pass!
!
My plan will be to wait until the 20th and if we do not have a full 20 participants I will fire it up with the amount signed up. I have pretty much all the starter sticks figured out already.
Per input from my Felliw Geeks I will be finding a bit larger container than what I had picked out, input was greatly appreciated. ;-)
Bump for the evening crowd (if I may) :bump:
Come on geeks, the more the merrier
I'll play if you've got room.
Would love to but just finished two with one more to go. Thanks, but I think I will need to pass on this one, but let me know if you run short of participants
Thanks for having me! I feel badly for guys like Mojo66. It's been in the 70's here in Northern CA :biggrin:

Rub it in Bruce... while you can. With global warming, one day it'll be us laughing. Granted that may take a century or two, but one day it will snow in Cali and we'll get tropical weather :biggrin:

Sorry..Hey, it snowed here in January! It stayed for a couple of weeks at my house. I'm not sorry to be living here. I cant imagine living in your kind of cold :bow:
Pass Box is hitting the mail today on the first day of Spring. :dancing:
We ended up with 13 players. :cheer:
Thanks to all that are playing and I hope we all have fun. :thanx:
First up is Lawdaddy. Here it comes Brother :cigarman:
Sweet!
Way to go Kent. Nice set of starting cigars. Right on time for Spring.
I did pick up a larger container for the pass yesterday then when I was putting in the starter sticks I ended up adding a few more. :hitme:
Wanted to make it a good selection starting out.
Reminder to gitfiddl that The box comes back to me before Mojo66 and CrazyK as they will be playing virtually. I did put this on the sheet inside the pass box.
Let's Do This :victory:
Sounds great looking forward to another pass
Looks like Chris, Megan, John and I can have a mini-ATL herf in the middle of this pass and do it all at once!
I'm psyched!

Great job filling this out, guys...looking forward to another fun (and QUICK!) pass :)
Showed up. Looking good. Will have it back on the road Monday AM.
Thanks for having me.
Transitioned.
Wow, nice puts Jared. At this rate, even the bigger pass box will be filled in no time.
Jared has set the bar high with his puts.
This pass is off to a great start!

By the way, I had to add a larger container, so we're up to two now :biggrin:
Nice puts Bruce. No wonder you needed another container.
Holy crap :-0
Another container
Next pass maybe I will start out with a large Tupperdor :shy:
I feel like an idiot for not starting out big enough :shamebag:

I got the box over the weekend. I should be able to get it back on Tuesday.

Looks like I am up... I am ready :)
"Vacca Sacra" as my wife would say, going to have to take out a loan to ship the box when it's my turn. BTW, "Vacca Sacra" is "Holy Cow" in Italian if any of you are wondering.

Hey brother can you please transition on the pass with the tracking when you get a chance?
:bigthumbs: :bigthumbs:
Almost my turn. Are yall ready?
Pretty sure I transitioned it in the system, but forgot to put in the tracking number. I've posted it above and will do so here as well, but let me know if I missed something. It's only my 2nd pass, so it's definitely possible I screwed up. Thanks!

Pass received and inventoried, everything looks great... I updated my puts and takes and will get it in the mail tomorrow. I'll transition it in the system once I have the tracking number. Chris are you ready?
I am always ready

My assistant (who's really in charge) was supposed to mail the box today but she fell ill. She promises to get it out to you tomorrow. I told her she owes me one because its my reputation being impacted ;-)

Got the box yesterday. Box looked like they played kickball with it but the insides are safe. I will get this out in the next day or two.
On second thought, stogiedad is next and lives close. You free to grab a beer this week Michael? I'm good any evening.

Sammy, you are up!
Thanks for having me Kent!
Some nice puts Michael, & takes too. I'm ready to go when the package gets here. Might need to take out a loan to mail the thing though!
It's in Birmingham sort facility today. Should get it tomorrow. If I do I'll do my best to get it out Friday.
Got it today. Done my puts & takes. Will go in the mail tomorrow. I took an inventory and there seems to be 35 instead of 34 smokes after my takes & puts Don't know what the extra one is but assume it's for Kent.
Nice puts and takes Sammy and a fast turnaround.
Good ones Sammy. I think it was a 5 Vegas Relic that was extra, meant to mention that but I thought the same thing, maybe for Kent....?
QuoteStogieDad - 4/24/2014 8:11 PM Good ones Sammy. I think it was a 5 Vegas Relic that was extra, meant to mention that but I thought the same thing, maybe for Kent....?
You are right, there was a 5 Vegas Relic in the box. Going to the PO first thing this morning to send package off. Coming your way Barry. :-)
Thanks for having me Kent. Great job and well done.
Looking forward to it, Sammy. Your puts interest me.
The box from Sammy arrived. Everything looks great.
Lots of good sticks.
Will get my puts and takes done and get it out to David tomorrow.
Reminder: the box comes back to me from David (gitfiddl)
As soon as he has it on the way CrazyK get your takes in and I can get em sent to ya brother then Mojo can do the same.
Thanks for playin everyone. :dancing:
Box transitioned. It's a big one, David.

Got the box today. I meant to have my puts and takes all planned out for an overnight turn-around, but I've been fighting with plumbers and American Home Shilled all week and had forgotten all about the pass. I'll try to get it out by Saturday morning.
Takes and puts are in. I hope they are okay. ;) I'll post the tracking number and transition the pass when I get by the post office.
Kent, the pass is headed your way. USPS says it should be delivered Monday. The three little Boveda packs in the one container were a little crisp. I tossed in a fresh Humi-care packet. Thanks for including me in on this one.

Your up Karl,
As soon as I see your takes and puts are put in I will get them off to ya as soon as the box is in my hands.
This has been a great pass so far thanks to everyone!!!!
I tossed in a $3 stalwart accessory for you.
Box was received yesterday afternoon.
Waiting on puts and takes from our virtual players so I can get them shipped out and we can call this pass a wrap :thumbsup:
Thanks to all that played you are a fine group of Geeks, much appreciated :bow:
Thanks for running Kent. Great pass!
Sorry I haven't done my P/Ts yet. I'll get them done tonight!
Ok so I just did my takes and puts. Would it be better for you to just ship once to me both my and Mojo's takes, and we could work it like a mini pass? It would save you from shipping out two packages up to Canada...

More than good with it, it's a splendid idea.
I'm not exactly ready for my P/T's though, but it should not take long, should be done by tomorrow. Hope that is all right with all involved.

Not seeing much tracking movement here, hoping all is OK.
Maybe I am just nervous after the month long delay on my previous pass :-(
Don't know Kent, the package does not seem to have left original post office. There are no trackers that have any info on it (unusual) and the only one that does is USPS which doesn't even show it as processed at your PO. Stuck at the "Electronic Shipping Info Received" status that usually lasts only for minutes to a couple of hours since May 9th. Sure looks like there's a problem, maybe a bunch of US postal workers happily smoking a nice box of very good cigars is the cause, let's hope it isn't.

I have emailed USPS to try to get this resolved, hopefully hear something next week.
Sorry fellas :cry:
Mystery solved! It arrived safe and sound yesterday! Sebastien, I will be sending it your way on my way home from work!
That is splendid news. Can't wait to get it.

Thanks for the heads up Karl. Delivery is scheduled for the 26th, seems to still be in Mississauga tonight. Will let you know as soon as I get it.
A bientôt.
Thank goodness
I have been on the phone with the Usps 3 times this week trying to figure out what happened
Well so much for paying extra for Xpresspost... Hopefully they will deliver it to you today!
Yeah, I got my takes.
Got the package from Karl today. I will "turn it around" quickly after adding my puts to Karl's and update you, Kent, on the tracking info for what will be the closing act of your pass if I'm correct.
I have removed the AF Oval from Karl's puts, actually performing a "take" that was not virtual for a change. Oh, but you still won't find any empty spaces in the bags though.
Thanks for the bodyguards protecting my takes Kent, will post up and give due credits and pics.
Thank you all, participants and moderator, I had fun playing.
Thank you to all participants that helped make my second pass as a moderator successful. A fine group of people we have here that I am looking forward to getting to know better in years to come :biggrin:
Thanks Again Everyone!!!
I will post and close the pass as soon as I receive the package from Sebastien :thumbsup: :rocker: :thanx:
Also i would greatly appreciate feedback good bad or indifferent on what you all thought of the pass if you have not done so already. Trying to build up a bit more credentials on the site. :bow:
It's done Kent, last leg of the pass.
Box with my Karl's puts and mine on it's way to you now.
Tracking # is LM015229090CA.
The package should be delivered on June 2nd but it could be faster, let's hope it gets there fast and safe.
Later brother.
Looks like it should be in my mailbox when I head for work in a bit :dancing:
Got the box today and we can call this pass a wrap!
Thanks again to all the phenomenal and generous geeks that were involved. :bow:
