This pass is being created to give the newer members of our community a chance to experience a "no frills" pass. Once we have enough Geeks on board, this train will leave the station!
Brad if you need a middle man let me or Michael know.

Be glad to help!
I'd like to be a part of this. I still consider myself a newbie, but obsessive about all the great smokes out there. The passes ARE fun and it's a great way to learn and try some new sticks. So if you'll have me, I'm in (despite Sugar Bowl 12/31/95 :biggrin: )
If I were a Newbie this would be the pass to be in for sure. Very cool of Brad to put this one on!
Definitely the pass to get your feet wet. Very cool of Brad to start this one up for the newcomers. Enjoy y'all!
Great way to introduce new Geeks to passes Brad, nice move my friend. :bow:
For those newbies that don't know Brad he is a 1st Class Geek and this IS the pass to get you started. :thumbsup:
great idea PM sent if you need to sprinkle in some vets
These are the times I wish I could still be a newbie :biggrin:

No, a newbie who joins this pass will be joining one ran with integrity and honesty, and some killer cigars. Stefan, you simply do not understand how we treat each other here on CG. You are doing things completely the opposite. You are proving that you cannot be trusted, and that is not easily earned back. But don't worry, there are other sites for you to join. :notamused:

I just can't let this one go by. I mean wow, man, you haven't been ACCUSED of not running a traditional pass, your "pass" is nowhere near traditional and that's a fact, not an accusation. You have chosen to continue running it the way you intended to and that is, from a certain point of view, you prerogative.
But I fail to understand how it is you think you can go on disrespecting the rules and, in the end, most of us geeks, while calling yourself one. To me, being a geek is a whole lot more than smoking or collecting cigars.
I too, like you and many others hate it when people force my hand or plain tell me what to do but I still adhere to society's rules as I want to be part of it, shouldn't it be the same when joining a club? Those rules were there before you joined and the pass etiquette as well. Hundreds of passes happened with diverse themes, each an original pass with happy Geeks participating and ran in many different ways, but all had in common the fact they respected the rules and etiquette.
Why is it you want to play with us but don't want to play by the rules we are all happy to obey? I believe being a Geek means acting like one, can you?
I'll need a little help from some of you that have already signed up - if there are any brands that you are interested in having in the seed list, post up and I'll do my best to get them in.
The usual suspects will kick this off... Arturo Fuente, CAO, Drew Estate, Flat Bed, Illusione, La Flor Dominicana, Tatuaje, and Viaje.
Post up! :-)
We already have one thread discussing the other pass, let's try not to let it spill over and complicate this and other clean threads.
Just a thought.
I think this is the one that will take my precious pass virginity away, if you'll have me :)

No worries, we'll make sure you understand it before your turn... in a nutshell, you tell me what your puts and takes are and we ship only those sticks to/from each other versus mailing the entire box. Thanks for joining, Thomas.

Just a quick update - we have all slots filled but one - I'm waiting on the last potential participant to reply to a recent PM and then I'll close this off and get the ball rolling.
Since we're so close to the holidays, I'll kick this off right after the New Year to avoid personal schedule conflicts.
The seed cigars will be updated soon - I've had a few requests from our newer members - if you have particular brand that you'd like to have in the initial seeds, post on this thread your requests and I'll do my best to include them!
Welcome aboard to all the participants! :thumbsup:
UPDATE: This train is full!
Sent a Four Kicks, Headley Grange Laguito, JD Howard Reserve, Tennessee Waltz and a Buckingham to get the Crowned Heads covered in this deal. Enjoy guys.

I agree. I am looking forward to watching the pass move from place to place until it gets to me. This will be awesome!
The cigar list is very impressive!! Newb question - I am having trouble with a value for some of the cigars on the list. I want to make sure that I am trading cigars of equal value. I have checked CI, Cigar, and Famous, but some of the cigars listed on this pass are not for sale. Where else should I look to determine a value? Is there a Kelly Blue Book for cigars?

Safest thing to do with any pass when you're not sure is to send the pass creator a note and ask. Odds are some of the cigars you're wondering about will be replaced with different ones by the time it reaches you, so while it's great to be prepared things will change.
Google is the Kelly Blue book of cigars...kind of, chances are you can find all the cigars there if they aren't being sold by CI or Famous. Easiest just to ask if you're still unsure though.

Which cigars and if you have another source for pricing, we can take a look at them!
OK - the pass order is set and I'll kick this off on Sunday (see below).
Please take a look at the pass order and assume about a week between each participant to get an idea of the time frame your turn will occur. If you think you'll have a conflict or have a question, please let me know.
Players 6 and 12 are tenured Geeks with experience in participating in passes.
Note the first player is Thomas and he lives in Norway. His turn will be played virtually (Thomas, the final line up of cigars will be available by 11:59PM ET, Sunday.) Once his takes and puts are updated those specific cigars will get mailed to/from Thomas. When his cigars arrive, I'll physically mail the entire pass to Clay for his turn.
Clay, and every participant thereafter, will receive the entire collection of cigars. Once received and before you execute your puts and takes, perform a check against the cigar list on this pass (it is updated after every turn) to ensure all cigars are accounted for and they are in good condition. Please PM me with any concerns or questions.
:thumbsup:
WOOHOO, let the fun begin!
I was just wondering how you set value on hard to find cigars. Like the flying pig? Original MSRP seems low if it has become a very hard to find cigar.

Feel free to touch base with any of the Vets for help brother, that's what we are here for.
As far as the FFP, MSRP is fair, I personally may add a buck or two. But the point of this pass is for the newbs to try sticks they havent and get a grip on passes. With any of the Unicos patience is key. If you have to have them today, people pay over $30 @ stick for them. But just wait it out till you see them MSRP or below and be ready to pounce. I have not paid over MSRP for any Unico.

Panaceas are definitely not out of your league! There will be times when the three main sources for pricing do not have a particular brand or vitola (Panacea is a good example). In such cases, a Google search with a dose of reasonableness will work fine! :cigarman:
Quoteclami - 1/9/2015 7:03 PM I was just wondering how you set value on hard to find cigars. Like the flying pig? Original MSRP seems low if it has become a very hard to find cigar.
I usually just Google search "cigar name msrp" so in this case "liga flying pig msrp" and the first link that comes up is Halfwheel which states $14.95. Now two things to consider, 1) the article is from 2011 so there may have been a slight price jump since and 2) its a HTF cigar so that would add an additional few $$ in value as StogieDad said.
ETA: Halfwheel should be an acceptable source for msrps but just wait for approval from the pass runner first. Also the newer Undercrown Pig's msrp is $15.30 for reference.

Reliable backup source if the mainstream retailers don't have a cigar...
This pass is officially started! Thomas is up (virtual play) - there are quite a few cigars (29) to start and StogieDad, Kman, and Cfickter sent a nice selection of seeds! Thanks to you all! :thumbsup:

NIC = Nicaragua, DR = Domican Republic

Thank you, I guess that should've been more obvious...
Cool, done and done! Now only to pack and ship. Thanks for letting me play :)
Damn Thomas, what a way to kick off this pass. Well done!
Well done Thomas thats some nice cigars
Nice takes/puts, going to have to figure out how to step up my game when it finds it's way here.
Thanks for playing, Thomas.
For everyone else: I've added another Feral Flying Pig and Tennessee Waltz to the pass before it begins the U.S. journey (also added vitola details to the ones that were missing it). :thumbsup:
I was very curious to see what someone from Norway would throw in, wow!
well done thomas
Longhorn, would it be possible to be added to this pass. I have tried one before but it was kind of a fiasco. I was hoping to get on an introductory pass that was more in line with normal pass conventions. Thanks either way. Cheers.
Thanks guys, let's make this pass right :) Package went out today \o/
Got my sticks today, and man! Can't wait to try them. Brad even threw in a Drew Estate Liga Privada #9 Robusto. :dancing:
Very nice Thomas!! Great selection!!
Enjoy that Waltz. Great cigar you probably won't see many of.
Glad they made it Thomas!
Thomas' sticks are here as well. I'll get the U.S. leg of this pass underway tomorrow. Clay, you're up and the box will be delivered to you on Friday...
Wow, that list of cigars is already impressive. Great job guys, this promises to be a real treat for all the lucky participants involved.
Clay, I got tracking today - FX 963574929579.
This train has left the station! :thumbsup:
EDIT: Missed the cut-off yesterday in the mailroom so it's expected to land Monday!
On it's way to Gary. Wow, that was some impressive packing!! Even extra finger bags and humi packs! Very professional. Thanks for letting me participate, that was really cool.
Thanks for participating, Clay! I appreciate you checking in with P/T's too - you did a great job mixing some additional brands into the pass! :thumbsup:
For everyone: I'll leave feedback for you as the pass arrives at the next participant.
Wow!! Great puts and takes Clay!! Nice job

I'm curious about these Panaceas in the pass. Would the flavors on these be dominated by pepper or is the flavor more balanced? Specifically the green, red, and track 7.

See that?!?! And here I was thinking you did a fine enough job of that on your own :biggrin:
Well, I never! :barfonyou:
Oh I bet you have!
Nice P&T's Clay. Some damn fine cigars I here that will never make it to me
Well played noob!

The Reds have a bit of spice to them but the rest I would say are more balanced. The Greens, IMHO, are the best as the PA Broadleaf gives them a flavor that you don't really find anywhere else.

Thanks Brad, awesome pass! :rocker:
Will ship out this afternoon. So many good choices!
Quick question... One of my puts will be a Hoyo de Monterrey ISOM. Which ISOM is a fair trade value for it?
Depends on the HdM... If you wanna PM me or Brad we can help!
Takes and puts are done. Off to the post office this afternoon. Great sticks in there. Wish I had some more high end sticks or ISOM's to trade.

Can't thank you enough, Michael! :thumbsup:
One note guys. I removed the Liberty (and my Reconquista put) from their coffins and put them in finger bags, then stored the coffin outside the pass box. For you guys that have not done passes, this would be the prefferred method as the coffin takes up space in the box, and can damage both the cigar in the coffin and the rest in the box. Just a friendly note so you know.
Makes sense ~ thanks for the advice.
Nice P&Ts Michael
For those of you who have not had a turn yet, the line-up changed as we have a Geek that needed to be moved to a later turn. The pass order is updated with the current sequence - PM me if you have any concerns or questions.
Got package. all in good shape. will get back out wed or thurd.
Ok, everyone quit taking the cigars I want from the list and nobody get hurt
:lmao: @ Chuck!

I should hopefully get my puts/takes done tonight. Supposed to snow tonight & tomorrow but I'm not one of those wimpy east coasters, I will get the package out tomorrow so it lands at the next location by the weekend.
I printed out a new Pass Order list. It's changed after Chuck/Cfickter. I left the original pass order sheet in the box.
Everything looks good and the Bovedas are still doing their jobs.
Did my puts and takes and will transition tomorrow when I have the tracking info. Thanks for letting me play!
Done and Done, Should make it's next stop before the weekend.
Wow, awesom puts and takes guys!! Newbie's? We ain't no stinkin newbies!!

The pass made it here in good shape today. Fair or not, Brian got caught up in Eric's good will and included a bomb for me too. Thanks Brian! I'm travelling tomorrow, so I'll get this back on its way Sat. morning.
Okay, takes and puts are done and this baby is moving along to Matt. Thanks for having me!

Man I just caught up on the last few turns. This doesn't look like a newbie pass to me, so really fine P/Ts going on here!
Looks like the package has arrived in Kentucky.
Recieved the pass today, thanks for the bomb Randy total caught me off guard with it, very much appreciated brother. I've checked everything all good and in great shape going to do my best to get it back out tomorrow will be out Thursday for sure. You guys sure have made it hard to choose what to get for my takes...
Matt / Randy - thanks for participating! :thumbsup:
Awaiting word from Chip on status of the box...
If anyone has additional contact information for Chip, I'd appreciate getting it.
I hope everything is O.K. with Chip. Too bad, this pass seemed to moving along without a hitch.
OK, folks... the pass is MIA at the moment. Multiple attempts have been made to contact Chip - hopefully, he'll resurface soon and all is well with him.
If I've not heard from Chip by a week from Friday (April 3) I'll get the pass back on track for the balance of the participants with a newly seeded box. :cheers:
Sorry to hear that, hope Chip is all right, also hope the box resurfaces.
i PM'd him also
QuoteMojo66 - 3/24/2015 2:40 PM Sorry to hear that, hope Chip is all right, also hope the box resurfaces.
He seems to be alright, he posting rather regularly on Facebook
Anybody poked him on his FB account? Seems strange that he posted a few hours ago but yet no news here :?:

so one of my proposed puts is a boutique stick that they dont put bands on. is there a specific way im supposed to isolate or indicate what this cigar is?

Write the name of the cigar on a strip of paper and put it in the finger bag with the cigar... Good to go!
I agree! Send it around again. :cool:
Any updates on this? I'm getting all anxious!

Um, Jason, the Eagle has landed... :biggrin:
Indeed it has. Had to make some hard decisions. Takes and puts recorded. GF should have it in the mail this afternoon.
Thanks of playing, Jason and for dropping several local sticks in the pass! :thumbsup:
When ready, be sure to transition to Todd and drop in a tracking number! :-)
I generally like to place local sticks in passes. Allows others to try ones that aren't as easy to get a hold of. As soon as I get the info from the GF, I will transition it to Todd.
Damn, this is one fine pass. The list of cigars just gets better with each set of puts
Excited to see what is available in the selection. I should be getting the package today. Will confirm once I receive it.
Sorry for the hiccup. I asked the GF to send it insured and apparently for FedEx that means signature required. Lesson learned.
