Interesting idea. I've actually never tried my B&M's house blend, so it's probably time that I do.
You are in Joe, thanks. They all have some and usually pretty good.
Cool idea.
Thanks Brian, you are in
Welcome aboard John.
Thanks for the invite. I too have never tried a house blend. Not sure I ever noticed them either. It is a good reason to go back to the big comfy chair they have and smoke one!
Lol I've never smoked our house blends either haha...there's a few smoke shops around here tho that have them
I'm not sure if mine has any, if they do, I will join!
Thanks for the invitation, Brian. This is a great idea for a pass. However, I have never tried one of my local B&M's house blends and would hate to send out some unknown sticks to a brother here that might not be any good, so I will sit this one out.

No problem Bruce. Thanks for the response
Greti dea, thanks for the invite
I'm with Bruce. Thank you for the invitation, but I wouldn't have much to offer this pass. Good luck with it, though!
This may be possible for me but I'm holding off for the moment.
Neat pass idea
There have been a few questions about the cigars. They don't have to be all different, they can be a 5er of the same or a mix bunch. For example, I am sending two from one shop, and three from another. A couple of them are the same cigar but different sizes. Whatever you want to send is fine.
Cool idea Brian! Unfortunately, I don't have any here, and don't know of any shops around here that have anything I have even heard good things about. Certainly don't want to disappoint my recipient, so I am going to watch this one. I'll be on the lookout though so if I find something good, I can play round 2.

That's a great pass idea. The B&Ms here do not, as far as I know, have house blends.
I could not offer much for this pass so I'll sit this one out but will be watching. Someone could find a gem of a blend.
Thanks Karl, you are in
Thanks Scott, you are in. Please update your profile so your last name is there so we can ship to you.
Glad to be in!
Looks like a small pass with 8 players including myself. I can start this off on Monday or Tuesday to get it rolling if everyone is ready to go. Anybody else want in, please join us.

Same here. Awesome idea though.
One quick question - are we going to just all send at the same time, say by next Friday, to the next guy in line? Or are we doing it pass style, i.e. one at a time?

Going to do it pass style, one at a time. I have updated the passing order and will launch mine tomorrow to Scott. This way everybody still has time to get what they need.
Any last minute players want to get in, we have room just let me know. Other than that have fun guys.
Brian, great job in getting this organized. looking forward to getting this kicked off
Its being dropped off tomorrow headed to Scott. Lets do it one at a time, maybe some pics as its received. Just remeber to select all cigars as takes and enter yours as puts. If you are tossing hitchikers (not that we would), don't list them, let it be a suprise..
Have fun everybody, as you should with any pass. Thanks for joining me on this one.
Oops I forgot, John you were the last name pulled out of my hat so you go last and you are sending to me. And for all those Canadien fans, yes it was a Bruins hat.
This one should be an interesting one! There are two B&Ms around here that have house blends. Brian (Nirab), do you have a size preference?
Scott, I got this off today and the tracking says it will hit you on Wednesday, April 30, 2014

I am not a big rg fan, so anything other than that is fine. Robustos are always good, and I love figurado/salomon rolls. Lately I have been trying more corona/corona gorda sizes. But, whatever you send me Karl...is gonna go up in smoke! :biggrin:
Package arrived safe and sound today with a few tagalongs :). Will get my sticks in the mail tomorrow.
Good to hear they made it Scott, enjoy
Sorry the ups store closed by the time I could make it from work. I'll drop it off on my way in tomorrow.
No problems Scott. I don't know if you paid for shipping yet but usps may be cheaper to use

Yeah I priced it out, but ups it's closer to work and more convenient for me. Thanks for the tip though! :-)
Shipped this morning to Chuck.
Enjoy!
Thanks Scott for moving it quickly. Feedback has been left for you as well.
Hey guys, just thinking. Seeing these are cigars nobody really knows about, if you are able to maybe we should post a picture of the incoming B&M cigars so everyone can see. Just a thought.
Thanks. Looks like I should see these We'd. I have my stuff ready to go. Will post pics of the incoming stuff
I had better get mine ready to go!
Sorry, just now getting around to pics. Thanks again bmac!
Thanks Scott, Gotta resize them photos. I got this one for you
Looking forward to getting this in. Have mine ready to go
Looks like this will hit today, Will have mine out tomorrow
Got Scott's box. Some great looking sticks and over the top pass. Will post picss in the morning. My box out tomorrow
Thanks for the update Chuck, hope you enjoy your selection thrown at you. I think this is cool seeing cigars other than the norm going around.
Here is Scott's super sweet package. Cigars on hte left are the pass cigars, the onees on the right BONUS!

OK, this is my first time shipping to Canada. Anything I need to know up front before I send these out?
PM Sent Chuck
Ok, package is on the way and has been transitioned. Karl, enjoy and let me know what you think about the L&B line.
Brian, thanks for organizing the pass and for letting me play
Thanks Chuck for getting back out so quick. Hope my advise went well for you in the shipping process.
@ Adam, thanks for the heads up. I sent Nirab a PM so he knows whats going on too. We geeks are patient and will wait for you brother. And Good Luck
Sorry I missed your post Chuck! Looking forward to them! Thanks!!
Let me know when they land
Let me know when they land
Quotebmac7754 - 5/10/2014 3:51 PM Thanks Chuck for getting back out so quick. Hope my advise went well for you in the shipping process.
Thank the note was a great help.
I submitted my cigars for submission into the database and also took pictures so I will upload those once the cigars are available in the DB

You are going to like those Leaf & Beans :thumbsup: I've smoked 3-4 now and really enjoyed them all!!
Sweet! I can't wait! Hopefully they will land tomorrow! I just bought the ones I am sending out. I'll have to figure out the blend to add them to the database...
Chuck, I got your package today! Thanks very very much! They all look so good, I don't know where to start!!
man, that took a while. So much for International First Class!
I cold tell you where I would start but that is no fun.
QuoteCfickter - 5/16/2014 8:47 PM man, that took a while. So much for International First Class! I cold tell you where I would start but that is no fun.
The USPS is funny that way. Sometimes it takes a week or more, and I have seen a couple go in about 3 days. Guess it depends on the speed their employees want to move.
Brian (nirab), the package will be going out this afternoon! I hope you like the selection my friend! I might have dropped a couple extras in there for you too ;-)
Thanks Karl for moving it along so quickly. Hope you got something good.
@Adam, No need to worry, you will be back in plenty of time.
Let's get some pics up
QuoteCfickter - 5/22/2014 6:34 PM Let's get some pics up

Yup Brian you were right I made it back with plenty of time! I'm happy I didn't hold the pass up :-) some great looking smokes I see in that pic!!
Pass came in, along with some "extras"...wow!! I will post pics later tonight. I aim to get my end out by this weekend, been busy dealing with the loss of a dear friend, and work, and...life.
Thanks Karl!! :bigthumbs:
Glad they made it Brian! Sorry for your loss. Hopefully they'll help to cheer you up a bit!
Oh man sorry to hear that Brian.....no rush here brother take care of your business.

Just saw this, Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend brian and everything else that is going on. Take all the time you need and worry about this last.
My fellow geeks, I am so sorry for this delay. I have yet to get the last couple of sticks needed to move the pass along, but I will be able to do that in the next few days. I will get this out on the road just as soon as possible. Thanks for being patient with me, as I pride myself on getting these passes out fast. Life tossed me a bit more than I could handle last week. :-)

Joe...got the sticks in the mail today so they are on there way brother, enjoy :smoker:
Looking good guys.. Some neat sticks floating around. Sorry I havn't been up to date on this, life has thrown me a few curve balls in the last month. But its time for me to hit one of them out of the park. Thanks again everyone, and I will get up to date with all the feedback this weekend, I promise.

No Problem BMac it happens....looks like my sticks landed on Saturday.... Joe, hope you dig them brother! I haven't smoked any of them! :smoker:
Some interesting brand being passed here
Mine went out to John today. Enjoy.
QuoteconditionZero - 6/18/2014 2:11 PM
Mine went out to John today. Enjoy.
Enjoy the sticks Joe! :smoker: I haven't smoked any of them! It'll be interesting to know what you think of them, they are fairly inexpensive sticks I can get easily.
QuoteconditionZero - 6/18/2014 3:11 PM Mine went out to John today. Enjoy.
Thanks Joe, please transition it to John so he can do his put and takes.
Just an update. Joe, John did get your package a while ago and PM'd me last week that he has some personal things going on. He will be doing his puts and takes and sending back to me shortly.
I was wondering why this one still shows incomplete! Now I know! Thanks for a great pass Brian, I think trying other B&M house blends that I would normally never see was an awesome experience!
This was a fun pass and a great idea, I could see a couple of possible variations on this theme
Alright guys, I have made the decision to close this pass out. Aflicted received this pass on June 20th and hasn't logged on since July 3rd, so I'm assuming its not going to happen. Everybody got their cigars, except myself but that's no big deal. Just glad it wasn't a real pass that went down.
Thanks for the patience for those who went early, and I believe I have left feedback for everyone that was involved.

Please leave negative feedback if warranted (which, IMHO, it is). Regardless of if this was a traditional pass or not, you shouldn't have been stiffed and pass members need to deliver on their obligations.

I did leave that neg feedback the other day when I closed it out. And no need to send me cigars guys, It's a nice gesture but really isn't necessary.
Game back on guys. John has done his puts and takes and transitioned the pass back to me. I will close it again shortly. Thanks again John for getting this back on track.
Sorry for letting this lapse so long. I had some extenuating circumstances come up that I needed to take care of. No excuse for failing to keep communication with bmac though, and I apologize for it. His package went out yesterday and then I saw the thread and the pass had been closed. Bmac was gracious enough to open it for me to close it out properly and I appreciate it. Also wanted to show the picture from what I was sent. The two gordos remind me of a pair of Camachos that I have tucked away!
Glad to see you back, John, and nice to see this pass end on a happy note. :thumbsup:
Thanks again John, great looking sticks you got there from Joe. I totally agree with Nathan, its nice to see it end this way. Glad to have you back brother, hope all is well for you.
Picked up my box at the post office today from Aflicted. Thanks John, these look great and have a strong smell. Can't wait to give them a try. Thanks for the extras as well.
Closing this pass out again, thanks everyone for participating and glad to see a happy closing here.
It was a great idea for a pass! Thanks for having me!

Guys just a note. If you wan't to, I think it would be cool to get reviews in the database when you smoke these. Cool to see what people think.
Thanks for having me back. Everything is looking better on the home front as well. It will take a few months to sort out, but the prognosis is good.
Who, or how does one submit the cigars to be added to the database so they can be reviewed? Glad you got the cigars, I really like the Fratello. It was one I would not have had if it weren't for the geek review that happened right about the time I found this site.

When searching the database, there is a tab to submit a new cigar. You need the info as well to fill in.
