Looks like Kent (05Venturer) is our first player. Welcome to the pass...
I think I would like to play if you'll have me
George I would like to play, but you put a limit of $999.00.....I have a few $1,000.00 sticks I would like to put in. I know it's breaking the rules, but would you still let me play? :biggrin:

Thanks for accepting me :dancing:
I'm in if you'll have me!
I'm in, if you'll have a guy who's been around a while.
I'd like to join if you don't mind a newbie.
Oh excellent! Count me in please!

I'll send everyone whos expressed interest an invite, but Brad needs to keep those $1000 Ghurka's in his own humidor. Those are not allowed!
Thanks for joining!
Thanks for the invite, I'm in

Thanks for having me. It's a shame I won't get to share some $1000 sticks with y'all.
Thanks for the invite. It's my pleasure to join in.
I'm in, thanks for the invite. This is going to be fun!
A $1000 Gurkha is probably just like a $5 hooker...except the hooker price looks like a great deal until the rash shows up! :biggrin:

I haven't seen too many $5 hookers that looked like a very good deal.
We're up to 11 passers already. I think I posted it for 12, but I'm happy to leave it open if there's more interest. If no one else speaks up in the next day or so, I'll close it and get it headed out.

Request sent, thanks
OK - we're closed at 13 now with Bruce & Chuck. I'm going to look at a map to try to keep the shipping down a bit. When I get that settled, I'll update it and if anyone needs to be relocated in the pass, just say the word.
Thanks!
Awesome! Can't wait!
I'm anxious to get started.

Thanks for having me. Looking forward to getting this started
OK - according to the map(ping software), Bruce gets it first in CA. From there to ID, WI, IN, PA, MA, NY, FL, GA, and back to MO. 8521.3 miles... If anyone wants to or needs to be moved around in the order, just say the word.
My father in law gave me a ticket to the Cardinal home opener today, so I'm not going to get this in transit until tomorrow or wednesday. I should, however, have the seed list up later this morning.

Have a great time at the game :cool:
Awesome!
Looking good, Looks like Lawdaddy needs to put his address back in. Enjoy the game, I'm going to Fenway Park on Monday, Patriots day to see the Sox play.
Can't wait!
I am ready, should be a great pass
Yep looking forward to it.
Glad I am close to the end. I have more time to gather up some puts.
Looking forward to it with great anticipation.
Seed list is up. I decided to keep all my $1000 smokes at home, too, but there's a pretty good mix in there. Hope to have it moving west this afternoon.
Good start!
Glad I'm not the only one that was foolish enough to buy those $1000 Gurkhas! Nice list of sticks to start with. This is going to be a good one.
And it's headed west...
Man, that is some impressive seed list! Way to get this party started!

I am batting 6th, so I may have a chance at some of those seed cigars. Brad, I see your after me, we may just get the chance for that herd at Jim's yet
Nice starting lineup, can't wait to see where it goes from here.
The box left here Tuesday and UPS's last sighting of it was Wednesday morning leaving Kansas City. It should land in CA on Monday...

Sounds good to me Chuck. Hopefully it gets to us before my wife goes into labor.
UPS says it was delivered - just wanted to make sure it survived the journey west...
Okay, Ive got the box! Since i was one of the last to sign up, I thought I would be able to get away for the weekend with not even a cell phone! :shamebag:
I'll have the goods on their way tomorrow :smoker:
We use a LIFO inventory system.
WOW!!.....George hit me with the Big Portobello. It came along with the Pass box. Sneaky!!!! Thanks Brother.

Looks like I have a lot of decisions to make now. Looks like some fantastic sticks :biggrin:
Yeha I was hoping that the L40 would make it this far! I didn't figure it would, but one can wish right?!
Looks like I should receive the box on Monday :dancing:
Should make for a full mailbox as my Devil Site delivery is that day also :biggrin:
Will plan to have it on the way to Brian by Tuesday. :thumbsup:
I almost always get my cBid stuff well after I think I should get it. My shipping is set for Tuesday - but I don't usually get a shipping notice until Wednesday or Thursday. Then it hits my doorstep the following Tuesday...

This box will NOT fit in your average mailbox :biggrin:

It's not THAT big...
Pretty big though. Won't fit in a regular size mailbox.. :biggrin:
Well imagine that, box was scheduled for today but was a no show.
Hopefully see it tomorrow.
QuoteBlgove - 4/19/2014 5:55 PM

Didn't fit in my new XL Mailbox either :-0
It was inside the front door when I got home today. :drool: Put and takes are done and the new shipping label is on. Ready for it to hit the post office tomorrow.
Got to grab a couple sticks I have really been looking forward to trying. :dancing:
I also tossed in a half dozen cigar sizer ring gauge guides for anyone that wants to grab one.
Thanks for having me :biggrin: :biggrin:
Nice puts and takes Kent! And nice fast turn around!
Now that is some super fast turnaround kent. Well played and nice puts and takes.
Im getting excited!

Package received, I'll have it back out later today!
Excellent!

Should be there wednesday.
Some nice turnaround times here guys, and nice takes and puts so far.
Boxed arrived in great shape. Will try to do P&T tonight. If not latest tomorrow
Sounds good to me. Chuck are you free Friday afternoon before 4 by chance to meet up at L&B?? If not no worries, we'll try and work something out.

As much as I would love to, I can't. Have commitments to late meetings. Is the weekend possible?

I might be able to talk the wife into letting me slip away this weekend. I will let you know tomorrow. I'm free tomorrow afternoon before 4 as well if that works. I know its week day and you work a normal people schedule, unlike myself, so if that doesn't work no problem. I'll sweet talk the wife into letting me slip away.
Put and takes are in, hopefully meet Brad tomorrow and hand deliver
As of right now everything is still a go! Can't wait for a good some with better company!
George, thanks for organizing this pass. Some good stuff to think about. Brad (aka cravenbk) meet at Jim Robinson's Leaf & bean this morning and I pass the box onto him. I also moved all the cigars over to finger bags.
Awesome - thanks!
Good looking selections Chuck. This is moving quickly, I better get ready looks like sometime this week at this rate.
I will have this in the mail first thing Monday morning. Puts and takes will be in tomorrow, been lazy this afternoon watching the Derby.
Puts and takes are in. I hope they are up to par!! I will have this out to the PO in the AM and will transition with tracking then. George, how long have you had the Tat Havana that I took? The cello is starting to yellow nicely on it!!
Good looking Puts there Brad
Hard to say, but I'd guess less than a year. That was a mostly unknown brand to me until I started hanging out here!
Fair enough. Thank you for having me!
Box hit the PO this morning heading your way Brian! Thanks again for having me George.
Nice this is moving quickly... Great job on the puts and takes so far.
Looks like it will land on Wed, I'll turn it that night and get it back in the mail Thursday. I'm ready and got my choices already.
Got the pass in the mail today. Did my puts and takes, hope they look good if not let me know. I will drop it off tomorrow morning, going Priority 2 day so John should see this by Saturday I'm guessing. Thanks for letting me play in this pass.
Super excited to get this already massive box!
Not gonna do takes/puts until I get to see the love...I'm going on "feel" on this one!
This is gonna be fun though, can't wait!
OK the box went out today.
Thanks for letting me play!
FYI I'm not sure of the exact date of purchase but that massive RYJ I put in has at least two years of age on it.
Got the Brobdingnagian (look it up) package today. Good grief guys, can we please keep in mind when choosing containers for passes that the USPS charges more to ship packages with one dimension over 12"? It's not a big deal on short legs like between me and Barry, but it gets noticeable when you start shipping longer distances. I'd repackage this one, but George's wife is probably screaming about her missing Rubbermaid container. :shades:
Enough bitching and moaning. :biggrin: I'll do my best to get it turned around tonight. If not, it will fly Saturday.
That rubbermaid box was only about 1-1/2" too big for the USPS medium flat rate box, and I was wanting it out the door...

No worries, Brother! I was mostly just "stirring the pudding" and wanted to use that Gulliverian term. Takes and puts are submitted. Let me know if they are okay.
Didn't get by the PO today. I'll ship it tomorrow and post the tracking number.
The pass is on its way and has been transitioned to Barry (benchjockey). It should be there Monday. I nabbed one of those nifty sizing cards and tossed in a JetLite in case someone needed one.
Looking forward to it, Dave.
Box arrived today from Dave in good condition.
Should have it transitioned to John tomorrow.
This may be the fastest pass in the history of passes.

I got a ruler and a similar, albeit ragged and worn chart on my desk at home. I took the one from the pass to work for those midday Monster urges.
The box has been transitioned to John (afflicted).
Enjoyed the pass, George. Thanks for letting me play.
Oh lord, its my turn. Time to go humidor diving to see what I come up with!
Wow this pass moved very quickly, almost done. @John, smoke that right coast sitting down and not driving, it requires requires some relights as its a massive triangle size.
@Kent, I picked up one of those charts, very handy, thanks
So I got home not sure what to expect. This is a bit overwhelming. Puts and Takes are in. Hope the puts are up to par for what I relieved from the box. I'll transition with a tracking number ASAP.

That is the biggest pass box I've ever seen....
The package is on its way. Should be in Warson Wood, MO on someone's doorstep come Tuesday afternoon. Thanks for putting together the pass and letting me in on the fun!
I'd like to thank everyone for participating in my first pass. I saw it on John's doorstep a bit ago (at the other end of my street), so I'm going to call this one just about finished! That was FAST! I think I left feedback for everyone - but if I missed you, please let me know. I apologize for the container size - I have buddy who owns a UPS store and my view of what shipping 'really' costs is a bit skewed. The (failed) plan was for that tupperware container to fit in a medium USPS flat rate box, but I missed it by about 1.5" on the long end. I'll shop for a new container before I host another pass. The only other things I pass (they call it a swap) are fishing flies, and I can sometimes get 100 or more in an Altoids tin...
