Title: My Favorite Pass - 2014
Post by: Longhorn on 08/22/2014 07:40 PM
This is a thread generated automatically by the Cigar Pass system to discuss the Cigar Pass named 'My Favorite Pass - 2014'.

Use this link to return back to the Cigar Pass. (http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=cigpass;area=gen;boxpass_id=201)

This is the second edition of this pass and the initial seeds are posted - basically my "most smoked" from 2013 plus a couple of recent releases that I found to be quite good.

I plan to kick this off in the next 10 days or when we get 15 participants - whichever occurs first.   :-)

With these startup cigars, I can't even imagine what the end result will be.

This could be an Epic one.

Gonna have to sit this one out Brad  :cry:
Besides being in several passes lately and upcoming, I have very few 4 star or better cigars in my current collection and still consider myself pretty new to the cigar world.
Maybe Favorites 2015 will find me a bit more comfortable and be a better choice for me.
Great pass idea  :bigthumbs:

Post by: Mautrak on 09/09/2014 12:50 PM
I was thinking the package would be delivered today.  It only has to travel four or five hours from Stefan to me, but apparently the USPS couldn't do that in 24 hours.  It should be delivered tomorrow and I'll get it back out on Thursday.  Or at least that's my plan.
Title: Re: My Favorite Pass - 2014
Post by: s+j on 09/09/2014 01:18 PM
That's probably 'cause I missed the cut-off time -- dropped it off at 5:30 PM.

But I like the USPS! With the exception of the location in the Haight that is, one of the very few still open past 5 PM in SF nowadays.

Pass is here and in good shape.  It landed yesterday and was given to me this morning.  I'll do my puts and takes this evening and it'll go out tomorrow.  Heading up to Washington, if I recall correctly and without looking, so I'd guess arrival Monday or Tuesday of next week.

P/T done, ready to head to mpurtle.  Thanks for having me Brad.  

The Fat Man is from a 2011 release, and the Cohete are Tower Exclusives.  Some fairly HTF sticks.

The Las Calaveras is one of my all time top 3 sticks, and a FFP always fits in a pass like this.  I had that LGC the other day, fantastic cigar, especially if you like smaller RG smokes.

The Crux I was really surprised by, really awesome smoke in a different vitola.

Thanks for playing, Don! :thumbsup:

Really nice job by all with the puts and takes - thanks to all of you for the generosity!  

Feedback has been left for everyone and once the box gets back here safe and sound, I'll close this out!
