This is a thread generated automatically by the Cigar Pass system to discuss the Cigar Pass named 'Spring/Summer 2014 Newbie Pass'.
Use this link to return back to the Cigar Pass. (http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=cigpass;area=gen;boxpass_id=190)
Since we haven't had a newbie pass in a while, this will be an opportunity for our newer members to try the pass system and build some credibility here at CigarGeeks.
Criteria: You must be a new member (less than one year on CG) with at least 100 points. However, if you don't meet these qualifications, another Geek can vouch for you. For all others, I will make a determination based on your participation thus far on the site. I'd like to limit it to people that have participated in 2 passes or less.
Cigars: Please limit your puts to cigars that have a rating of 3.5 stars or cigars you personally enjoy. The price range is open from $3.00 to $20.00. ISOMs are allowed, infused/flavored cigars are not. Please keep in mind the cardinal rule of passes: all puts should be like for like with takes (value for value AND availability for availability).
To join the pass, hit the join button, and you must confirm in the pass thread that you've read all three of the following:

Great idea, get these new guys involved. If you need help let me know
i'm in
Jump in guys. Passes are great fun, and this is a great one to get your feet wet in.
I'm willing to donate a few starter sticks, Nathan. :-)
I'll play. This will make three passes I am playing in at the same time. If space runs out you can bump me. I sent my request.
Great opportunity for newer members to join in a pass. It's great fun and a nice way to learn about new cigars and get to know geeks a bit better.
Quotenirab - 5/12/2014 12:01 PM I'm willing to donate a few starter sticks, Nathan. :-)
X2
John & Scott - You guys are in!
Brian & Chuck - Thanks for the offer! PM sent.
We have plenty of space left, folks!
I'd like to get in on one of these passes, get my feet wet. But I don't feel the time is right just yet, between work, the twins and everything else there is very little time left. And we live in an apartment on the 2nd floor, with no place outside to smoke. I get to sneak myself a small cigar in the car or while walking the dog every once-in-a-while.
So I'll wait until we have bought and moved into a house, where I can; either outside on the porch or in my "to-be" cigar lounge, sit down and relax with a cigar. If I am to partake in a pass I want to be able to do it right, and to enjoy my picks :-)
But, this is a great idea for a pass Nathan :thumbsup:
awesome have fun newbs!

Thomas, I think you would do well in this pass. I imagine you could do virtual (hope I am not speaking out of turn Nathan) so you would just end your puts in. Shouldn't take much time, and I am just telling you, these passes are fun dude.
I'm currently involved in two passes. On one I've already completed my puts and takes.
I'm enjoying both and am willing to play if you will have me. I've sent in my request.
Barry - You are in. Thanks for joining.
Thomas - Although I understand your concern, you are welcome if you want to join. If not, then there will always be future passes to get your feet wet.
I'm going to sit this one out, thanks for all the encouragement :-) It will be extra special to save my pass-virginity to when I'm good and settled in our new home! Maybe I should treat myself to a promise ring :?:
I've completed one pass & currently in one but I'd like to play if you will have me.
Thanks for having me in this pass Nathan. Come on guys, we need to fill this one up.
Fellow newbies give this pass a try. I've been involved with two and had a great time.
It exposes you to smokes you haven't tried yet and allows you to get to know your fellow Geeks better.
We have 6 people. Plenty of room left!
Thanks for setting this up. I'm looking forward to some fun!
It's been a few years since I have been in a pass I would like to get in thanks

We have 10 players. We need a few more to get this kicked off.
I've only been on the boards 11 months...do I still qualify as a newbie? I'll take a spot if you need me.
Come on newer members, Passes are a lot of fun, if you never participated here is your chance, you won't regret it.
I would but I am not a newbie here anymore, did participate in a Newbie pass (newb to Newbie pass Fall 2013) and it was just spectacular.
Thanks for the invite, Nathan - I'm in!

No problem! I've got a couple of more spots open, but I'm going to close this out by the end of the week and get it started next week.
The seed cigars have been added:
http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=cigpass;area=history;boxpass_id=190
I tried to include cigars that aren't readily available to everyone and a number of different flavor profiles and price ranges. Please let me know if there is anything you'd change, feel the price points are too high, etc.
Nice puts
Nice seeds!
Good start!
Glad the initial puts are good. Looking forward to kicking this off - we still have space!
I am in this pass. Can someone point me in the right direction of how exactly it works or the official rules for this specific contest? A link?

:-0 Some really nice sticks there Nathan. Still room for a more, come on Geeks!
:bump: it up!
Thanks Sammy. I went ahead and sent out a few invites for some newer members that haven't participated in passes. Hopefully, we'll get a couple more people, but if not, we have enough folks to give this a go.

I thought I had but apparently there is a setting to make it visible.
A separate question: what should we use to evaluate the price of our puts and takes? If somebody scores a box of something for half MSRP, I don't think that should be compared to a single purchased at a B&M in Montreal (200% $$$$ales tax) so what reference levels the playing field to determine value?
I think the standard price guide is cigar international. That is what I am going by unless there is a better way. Just look up your takes and price out the puts. I don't think it counts as additive though. IE 20 white owls does not equal a $10 stick.
Ok, it looks like all invites have been accepted, so I'm closing this off to new participants. The pass order has been set, and the seed cigars are done. Since I'll be busy the next few days and this weekend, I'll plan on kicking this off early to mid next week. Thanks to everyone who joined, and please be sure to read the articles in the original post prior to your turn in the pass.

Your address is visible to those in the pass, so no worries.
For the value of puts/takes, we usually use Cigars International box price. For the higher end cigars and boutiques, I tend to use MSRP or 10% off MSRP as a guide, since these cigars are rarely discounted. Just keep in mind that 2 $5 puts do not equal 1 $10 take. Also, any take for a HTF or Cuban should be replaced like for like. As long as the value, cigar for cigar, is close, I'm not going to worry about it. The spirit of the pass is to get some of you involved, build some credibility, and HAVE FUN!

Back from out of town, so I'll try and get this packaged up and out the door by the end of the week (Saturday at the latest). Looking forward to getting it kicked off!
Some really good seeds in there! This one should be fun!

Has this been launched yet?
Sorry for the delay. This is going out in tomorrow's mail! Pass has been transitioned to Jessica (Cigarplace). :biggrin:
This has officially launched. Enjoy, folks!
Thanks guys, I'm preparing the stuff to go in it today. Took me quite awhile to do so but just so you all know now, that Flatbed Cigar is ALL MINE!!! Don't worry I'll replace it with some good stuff. I hadn't planned on making any take/puts but I've been hearing good things about that stick and I just have to try it.
Also, I'm going to be doing some geek math. There will be 15 envelopes in the pass box that we'll be adding to the game. Each Geek is to take only ONE envelope. Enclosed you'll find a gift certificate for either $5 or $25 dollars. The only catch is there is only 1 $25 gift certificate and you won't know which one you have picked randomly until you try to redeem it. You can check your gift certificate balance using this link.

1 Take/Put Recorded. All gift certificate envelopes included. The Hoyo de Monterrey (cuban - unbanded) has a burst spot in the top 1/3. I left it in the packs just in case anyone wants it and tossed in an extra cigar in my puts. I took the Flatbed Panacea and put a Torano Single Region and an Avo Classic #2.
Tracking recorded and awaiting UPS pickup for delivery to the next person tomorrow! Thanks for including us, we appreciate it folks.
Thanks for participating, Jessica! And thank you again for the GC's.
Hate to hear the HdM is already beat up, though. I was hoping that the 5-finger bags would prevent that type of damage. :-( It is even more concerning that it burst, since I keep my humidity at 65%.....

We've tested the 5-finger bags alongside our method of packing the cigars in regular zippies and then taping back the excess like a holiday gift wrapping and that seems to work best for us when it comes to shipping sticks. Way less movement and easier to pack around. Although, I'm excited to see more of these bags and see how they work in these passes and such.

I've used the same method (regular ziploc taped up) with good results, but I've never had a problem with the 5-finger bags either. What concerns me is it split toward the top, which might indicate too much humidity.
When this lands benchjockey, please let me know if the cigars seem too "wet".
Will do.
The box arrived.
Nathan, the ISOM's wrapper is torn. All others look fine to me. I don't see a problem.
I'll send the box Sammy's way tomorrow.
Thanks for having me!
I think Jessica needs to enter a tracking number in the pass history so it gets transitioned to me. That way I can fill in my puts and takes and get it transitioned to Sammy.
I did enter the tracking number. I'll double check. If you can semd it to me via PM or here, I'll be able to do it tonight.

Thanks for the update. Looks like you guys got the transition squared away.
If someone wants to take that HdM and do some repair work with some pectin, go for it. Since it is damaged, I don't expect a "like-for-like" put if you do take it.
If no one wants it, I'll try to fix/smoke it when the pass gets back to me. :smoker:
Box transitioned to Sammy.
Thanks for everything, Nathan.
Got the box today about noon :thumbsup: Barry! All looked well to me. I have entered my takes and puts but can't mail it on to Daniel until Monday as our PO closes at noon on Saturday but the box is ready to go. When I get back from the PO I'll transition to Daniel.

Yes, you can assess value with any of the big online retailers. If you need a second opinion, you can always ask a veteran pass member or the moderator.

You can enter your puts/takes, but don't transition it until you ship it and have a delivery confirmation number. The system will allow you to alter your takes/puts up until that point. So say something gets damaged on the way to you - you can change the cigars accordingly as long as you don't hit and confirm a transition to the next person.
As for the number of takes, there aren't any rules in this pass. As long as you observe pass etiquette on the value and availability, then taking four is perfectly acceptable.
The pass arrived in great shape, I've updated my puts & takes and this baby will be in the post office around lunch time tomorrow. Everything looks great and thanks to Jessica for the nice gift certificate!

I believe that Longhorn has to input his puts/takes, transition to you, then you do the same. If I need to change the pass order to make it easier, Brad, let me know.
Cory and I met this evening at his local B&M in Delaware, Ohio. What a great place - nice lounge areas, decent cigar selection, and a fun group of regulars. Cory, it was a pleasure meeting you! Congratulations again on becoming a father in the near future! Let's stay in touch! :thumbsup:

Glad you are looking forward to it!
Just a few quick tips/reminders on pass etiquette since this is a newbie pass:
1)When you receive a pass, it is customary to post that it is in your possession in the pass thread. The same goes for when you are done with your turn and have shipped the package out to the next person in line.
2)It is very, very wise to do a full inventory of the cigars in the pass when you receive it. That way, if there is a discrepancy between the physical cigars that arrived and the pass system, it can be resolved quickly.
Hope you guys are enjoying and learning!

Thanks, Tim. If you need to take a day to recover, it can wait.
Got the box, everything looks great. Repacked and will try and find a post office tomorrow. I am going to try and swing by the large regional post office by me, that usually speeds things up. I will enter the tracking info when I can, my work is not so cigar forum friendly.

Sounds good - thanks for the quick turnaround!
The pass box has landed at my house. After talking with Nathan, I'm going to sit on it until Monday when JBShumidor is back in action and send it on to him.
Puts and Takes are in. It will hit the post office tomorrow and I'll update and rotate the pass. JBSHumidor should be back in town now to accept it.
Thanks for the update, John. Looks like we are getting close to wrapping this up!
Met John for a herf tonight and dropped the box off. Very cool group of guys and it was a blast. He hit me with a surprise five pack while I was there! Top notch. Thanks for the pass and letting me participate!
Thanks for the update, John. Wish I could have made it, but I had prior plans.
Looks like we will be able to wrap this up this weekend! :dancing:
Great Pass Everybody! PT's done and feedback submitted. Dropping off at Nathan's house either Friday or Saturday. Thx for having me and Happy Smoking, jb
Those are some killer puts! Thank you, sir!
John just dropped off the pass. I'm going to try and close this out and leave feedback this weekend.
Thank you everyone for joining! I hope you enjoyed participating. :biggrin:
