Sammy and Kent thanks for joining
Thanks for having me John!!
John I know this is weird but let me see how the week ends and I'll let you know. Thanks for the invite.
I'm going to have to sit this one out. Thanks for the invite, though!
Thanks for the invite but, I too must sit this one out. I have a hectic month with work and a wedding to prepare for......
thanks for the invite, impressive list of Geeks so far
And for the record.... yes it does.... or so my girlfriend tells me about once a month.... :confused:
Thanks for having me! I'm not a fan of large RG cigars, so this is right in my wheelhouse.
Thanks for the invite John. Should be fun
Yep shaping up as a really great group. Thanks to all that joined and hopefully next time for all those that can't.

Sorry lets try and keep it in the limits of my pass. My high end is only $30... I don't want to you to slighted Michael by putting such an expensive cigar in. :shy:
Hey John,
I forgot to mention this before, but as with other passes, if you can sort us to the top or towards the top, we can stick some goodies in the packages for the guys!

Hey John et al,
Pass has arrived. My P&T's have been submitted but I'm going to hold this until Monday to ship. It's SUPER HOT and humid here in Florida right now and I don't want them sitting over the weekend in a depot or truck somewhere. Besides, I have to put my side of a trade with Shukpaw into it and a return fire to our pass coordinator, John for his generous bomb helping me to try some sticks I've not had a chance to try before.
A common misconception of those of us in the industry is that we can put our hands on any cigar we want. It just isn't that easy and often the last thing I want to do when I get home from work is scour the internet looking for cigars other companies sites that I spend all day trying to be better than. So I absolutely appreciate being exposed to new brands and the smaller boutique brands whenever possible.
Nice puts there Jessica, especially that Bodega. Really nice smoke!

Excellent move Jessica. Now on the other hand, here in MA its perfect for cigars right now. In the house with windows open its 68 degrees and 65% humidity. Who needs humidors at this rate.

Oh yah, but another month or two we can freeze our cigars. Sad when 35 degrees starts to feel warm.
Hey Guys,
Due to the extra day's delay in getting this out, I've upped the gift certificate value in the package for you all. There is a slew of $10 Gift Certificates in the box along with one $25 gift certificate that is completely random in nature. All of the cards look identical so it's honestly a random pick. Enjoy the pass guys and thanks for including us!

Very cool Jessica... Thank you
I have the pass. I was up in Whistler BC for a 4 day weekend. I let John know, but didn't want to post that I was away on the forum. I might still get it out today, but my son started at a new school today and there have been some unforeseen issues to deal that have taken up a lot of my time today. If I don't have it wrapped up before the post office closes, I will get it out tomorrow.
Sounds great Neil just let us know.
Thanks

Nice Jessica. Looks like I will have to spend some more money with you.
The pass left today. Kent, there is a cigar in there that is not on the list and does not meet the pass specs (it's too big). It's a ride along for you. Just PM when you get it and I'll tell you what year it is.
Neil,
Very nice takes and puts... Thanks for joining the pass!
pass was in my mailbox when I got home today on the bike.
Put and Takes are done and should be back on the road tomorrow
Kent thanks for the puts and takes...
I need to update the order a little bit after Brian... I'll also send a PM out for a reminder.
thanks
No problem on the pass order and thanks for the head up.
Puts and Takes done and going to the post office tomorrow. On it's way Chris.
Thanks for letting me play in this pass. FYI, I just realized I ran out of finger bags, so there are a couple inside a ziplock bag. If somebody could slip a finger bag in down the road that would be appreciated.
Brian thanks for the super quick turnaround... Great puts and takes there much appreciated.
This is on the way to Chris. I did drop it off around lunch time but the tracking doesn't show that just yet. I dropped 4 boxes off and none have a record yet. This has been happening with them to me alot lately, but will eventually update.

$hit how did I miss this post :confused:
The mystery stick is still in the pass :crazy:
Sorry :shamebag:
Puts and takes are in, should hit the Post Office Monday. Threw in an extra bag.
Too many sticks for the two small tuppers so I will switch into a larger one unless there is an objection.
QuoteChrism305 - 9/13/2014 11:53 PM Too many sticks for the two small tuppers so I will switch into a larger one unless there is an objection.
Excellent idea Chris. I thought about it but didn't have one around.
Hmm i thought I started with 3 small tupperwares. Chris do whatever you need to. Thanks
Quotejohncw - 9/15/2014 10:20 AM Hmm i thought I started with 3 small tupperwares. Chris do whatever you need to. Thanks
There was only two small ones in the box when I got it. Unless one got lost on the way. I also put the gift certificates in a baggy, they were buried on the bottom in the peanuts.
Kerry it's on it's way. Scheduled for Wednesday delivery.
Chris thanks for the puts and takes and for the quick turn around.
I got the pass today. Should have it back out before the weekend.
sounds great Kerry thanks... This will work out perfectly if you send it to chuck now.... Thanks
Back in country and ready to receive it!
Puts and Takes are done. It's transitioned to Chuck and on it's way. 9405 5036 9930 0380 3039 36
Thanks for having me John, I really enjoyed it.
Kerry thanks for the puts and takes and for joining my first pass.
Pass arrived. Will get it transitioned tomorrow or Friday at the latest
Sounds great thanks Chuck!
Puts and Take done, in the mail on Monday. Sorry for the extra couple of days it took.
John, thanks for letting me play. Some tough decisions there on the takes.
Ok, box is ready and will be shipped on Monday. Transitioned also

no worries at all... thanks for playing and excellent puts and takes.
Looks like I should be getting the box in today. I'll have it back on it's way tomorrow.
Sounds great Matt... Thanks... Don't forget to check the pass order here as what I put in the pass is probably no longer valid.
Oh yeah, I'll check it out. Looks to be some quality stuff in there.
Question for everyone in the pass... Has anyone taken an Avant Garde yet? I had originally included a note that if you hadn't tried one yet through geek critique or part of the original tester that I wanted you to be able to try one... Anyways for anyone coming up please feel free to grab one to try if you haven't already.
Thanks again everyone for the smooth box transitions and great takes and puts.
Pass is transitioned and will be on its way with today's mail pickup. Thanks for having me, great pass!
Matt thanks for the puts and takes. Thanks for playing
Pass arrived today - will transition this tonight and have it back on the road in the morning.
On it's way Toby - USPS 9405 9036 9930 0266 6160 04.
Thanks for having me, John!
Wow Brad!!! Thanks for the puts and takes!
Quotejohncw - 10/7/2014 11:37 AMWow Brad!!! Thanks for the puts and takes!

looks like this is coming in today. celebrating our anniversary this weekend (w/o the kids) so I'll try and find time to get this turned around :shy:

It'll fit the criteria after it's been lit for 30 minutes! It wasn't clearly marked and it was in the finger bags that the pass cigars were in. Either way, John's pass will return to him with an additional stick! :thumbsup:

This is most likely the stick.
My bad for missing it :cry:
I'm sure john will enjoy it. :thumbsup:
got it safe and sound. I will get it out Monday for sure.
That took an extra day to get to you, Toby. I send out via my work's mail center and they some times lag a day... glad it got there safe and sound.
ok dudes done and done. she picks these up late in the day. they get up to the ATL area pretty quick though. just a few hours away. that Behike looks good but what the hell do you trade for it :biggrin: !!!
oops postal holiday today. it will go out Tuesday then.
toby thanks for the puts and takes and quick turnaround... Yea i ran into the same problem with the post office today with splits I was planning on sending out.
Alrighty, turn and burn. Thanks for having me John, nice looking set we got going here. Hope somebody enjoys my puts, takes a little thinking since a lot of times I buy special cigars in larger vitolas...

Michael, Thanks for playing. Great puts and takes. With winter coming I find it hard to smoke anything longer than an hour which is one of the main reasons for this pass.
John, Scott still hasn't logged on for 3 weeks now. You might want to delete him and have Sammy go right to Brian.
The PM I sent to him a month ago still hasn't been read.. Hope all is well with him.
Got the box today. I will do my takes and puts but won't transition the box until I hear from you John. Hope Scott is OK.
Hopefully, we hear from him soon.
Unfortunately he still hasn't read my PM so lets just skip him please... Please send directly to Nirab.
Box on its way to Brian nirab tomorrow USPS Priority Mail. Hate that Scott has left us.
Thanks for having me in your Pass John. Great pass and well run.
Sammy thanks for the puts and takes... I hope you enjoyed the pass.
Puts/takes are done, and I will ship out the pass today. John, your fantasy baseball winnings are included. Thanks for letting me play! :biggrin: :bigthumbs:
Transitioned! :bigthumbs:
I got the box back today. Thank you everyone for making my first pass a success. I hope everyone enjoyed it. Also thanks for all the extras. I'll close this out shortly once I get a good chance to look at all of them. I've left feedback for everyone and hope you will do the same.
Thanks
