Geeks,
This is a pass I've created that keeps things to medium or below, still a pretty broad range of cigars possible, just not the kick your butt Nicaraguans. Let me know if you have any questions. Once there are 10-15 participants I'll kick it off. Thanks.
Thanks for the invite brother, but mild is not really in my wheelhouse unfortunately. Thanks anyway and have fun with the pass!
Thanks for the invite. I have mostly medium-full cigars, but I'm sure I can find something in there that will work.
Thanks for the invite. Don't normally lean towards Mild but I will play
Thanks for joining guys, there's actually quite a few things that land right on Medium that get passed around. Flor De Las Antillas would be an example...CI has that right smack on Medium, that's within the limits I set up so it doesn't have to be a connecticut wrapper with nothing going on...
Gary, do we have to look each cigar up on CI or can we go by what CG database says
Database is fine, but may actually be more conservative in some cases, if either the database or CI calls it a medium or less it's in bounds. I'll modify the description to make this clear.

I like the Flor de Las Antillas - if that's within the limits, I may have to hit the '"Request to Join" button! :biggrin:
If I had a spare to seed just so that you'd hop on I'd do it, but I only have 1...I don't like you THAT much! :biggrin:
I really appreciate the invite but I'm not at a point where passes are feasible for me. I'll catch the next one.

I have some - I'll hop in if you'll hit "Accept"! I think I can dig out a few milds, especially if ISOM's are allowed! :thumbsup:
Thanks for joining Brad!
Stephen, I don't know the specifics but I gather from other posts life isn't easy for you right now, I understand. Hope to see you on another one some time.
Hmmmm, going to medium does make it interesting...
Great idea for a pass. Unfortunately, most everything I have is medium full or full and NIC. Have fun Gents!
I would love to play if you'll have me.
Absolutely Joe, thanks for joining!
Got a lot on my plate right now, so I will need to sit this one out. Thank you for the invite though.
No problem Jason.
Added one more AVO to the cigar seed list, CI has it as Full but cigargeeks says Medium, so the Domaine is in!
Thanks for the invite. It's been a while since I've been in a pass so I'll play along.
:thumbsup:
Can I get in? This will be my first.
I would like to play if you'll have me. I know that I'm newish here but I am more of a lurker than a poster.

I'll send the invite. Just have a lurk around the pass articles on the site before you take your turn, let me or one of the many vets on this pass know if you have any questions. This will be a good chance for you to get some feedback ratings started, so don't screw it up! :biggrin:

Thanks for letting me in. I've been lurking for a while waiting for one that I would like to participate in. Although this is my first pass here, I have done one with Cigar Federation, so this will not be my first pass. Thanks again for letting me in.

Very cool, nice to see some new blood giving it a try! Soon, you will have 30 or 40 of these under your belt haha.
Thanks guys!
Thanks for the invite but my tastes run more to the medium to full range.
Hope to be able to join the fun on the next one.
Thanks for the invite Gary. But I am going to have to sit this one out.
Thanks for the invite. I'm involved in two passes right now, so I'm going to sit this one out. But think of me for next time, please!
Thanks for the invite, I'll play. I don't really pay too much attention to what is mild/medium/full I just smoke what ever catches my eye that day so this will be good, make me do a little research.
Thanks for playing!
Can't do it at this point Gary but thanx for the invite, very kind of you.
I'm looking to get this out by the middle of next week and I'll lock up the roster and rotation at that point, so if you've been thinking about hopping on, now's the time!
I appreciate the invite, but I've got to sit this one out. Y'all enjoy! :biggrin:
:bump: for the weekend crowd. Looking to start this pass next week sometime.
Request submitted! This is EXACTLY up my alley! Haven't been on Geeks for a while, but have a few successful passes under my belt...looking fwd to another hopefully!
Alright! I knew there'd be some closet mild/medium guys out there, thanks for joining!

Ok, was wondering about it, LOL.

I wanted to leave the invite open for at least a week or so to give people a chance to join who may not be on here every day. As you can see, we picked up IndyGopher as a result. I'll kick it off by Wednesday. It'll be heading to you first so be ready! :-)
Last call. Going to close this tonight and ship it off tomorrow.
Woohoo! here we go! I'm down the list a ways, so stock that baby up, Geeks. :dancing:
On its' way to the bay.
And we are off and running. This should be fun, and a nice list of starter cigars.
Thanks Brian, probably a little humbler list than you're used to seeing, but not bad for someone only 1 year into collecting, right?
Thanks for turning it around quick notageek!
Nice puts and takes notageek and quick turnaround. By the way Gary, nothing wrong with your collection. Matter of fact, if you are like me it will change types over time. I smoke totally different cigars now then I did when I first started up. And I wouldn't be surprised if it changes again down the road.
Thanks Brian, there's just some mighty company in this pass; hopefully everyone is able to find something worthwhile on their turn.

Absolutely a great lineup of geeks in this one. I'm sure there is something good for everyone.
The pass landed in MN today. It looks good, went thru all the cigars and everything is looking good.
Made my puts/takes and will transition once I get a tracking number, should be able to get it out tomorrow (Sat) morning.
There really should be something for everyone in there, I think it's a great selection. Thanks for letting me play!
You rock, thanks for playing!
The pass has been dropped at the post office and transitioned. It should arrive at it's next location on Monday.
Thanks again for including me!
Got package will mail wednesday. everything in good shape
Loving this lightning speed, thanks Eric.
Sent off to joelala. thanks for having me in the pass.
Thanks Eric! :thumbsup:
Should get the pass tomorrow, I know it has been delivered, just been out of the office since Thursday. They have it for me at the office delivered Friday
:thumbsup:
Puts and Takes done, also was hit with a bomb from ebernabe, thanks Eric!!!!
HAHA edit to fix a typo
Ha ha, just figured out that the site automatically bleeps words with that typo Joe. Nice going Eric, and thanks Joe for keeping it moving along.
This was shipped this afternoon, will post tracking number and transition soon
:thumbsup:
Looks like the post office was off from Good Friday through Easter Sunday, lol. Hopefully they'll pick up the pace today...
Still no Pass again today, hopefully it shows up tomorrow. Gotta love the post office...
I think the mailman figured out it was cigars in that box, it's been MIA for 5 days now on the USPS tracker.
Thanks for letting me join. The pass finally arrived today, I've already done my takes and puts and transitioned the packaged to Brian. Scheduled pickup for tomorrow and delivery on 4-13.
Nice takes and puts Matt, and way to play hot potato with the pass! Let me know what you think of the Mark Twain, one of my favorite mild sticks...
Will do, always heard good things about the Mark Twain, just never could bring myself to buy a box.
Looks good, I'll be ready
Gary, I got the pass this afternoon. Takes and Puts are done, dropping off in the mail tomorrow on its way to Chuck. Thanks for having me in this pass.
The outer box looked like the mailman used it for soccer practice, so I replaced it and packed it in shipping peanuts.
Thanks Brian!
Let me know what you think of the WIDE Brian, I like that one.
Quoteheadfirst - 4/13/2015 11:29 PM Let me know what you think of the WIDE Brian, I like that one.
Been eyeballing those for a while but haven't picked one up until now. Looking forward to it.
Made it to the post office today, looks like Chuck will get it on Thursday.
Awesome! Great job keeping it moving, boys! Getting closer to Indy...
I saw that it did get delivered to Chuck today, you guys are killing it with this speed and the nice puts, keep it up! :bigthumbs:
I didn't do puts or takes, I needed to make an emergency flight to address some family health issues so just transitioned to Brad. It will be in the mail on Monday
thanks for letting me play, sorry I couldn't fully participate
sorry to hear that Chuck. I hope everything works out okay
Holy cow, that's terrible, Chuck...so sorry to hear that. You probably won't see this message for a while, but our thoughts are with you.
The pass arrived late last week at my home, but I've been busy with a colleague who is visiting from out of the country.
As fate would have it, I will be seeing Chuck on Thursday, so he gets a mulligan!
I'll get our P/T's done when I see Chuck and then drop this in the mail! :thumbsup:
:bigthumbs: :bigthumbs:
Mea culpa.
I have broken a major rule of participating in passes - I've had this box in my possession for 10 days and owe Gary a sincere apology for not moving this along.
I took it with me this weekend to CigarFest where another Geek was going to redo a turn they missed. I underestimated the time we had with the event and meeting several other Geeks.
The only silver lining is this pass has now been to several cigar shops in Pittsburg including Leaf & Bean; the Poconos and CigarFest 2015; Hamburg, PA and the CI Superstore; several McDonalds; three gas stations; and a couple of interstate exits that it shouldn't have been on.
It's on the road again tomorrow (Monday morning) and hope no one else keeps as long as I did! :shamebag:
:lmao:
No worries Brad, so glad Chuck got to play thanks to you.
This is moving again - heading to IndyGopher!
One humi-pak was refreshed and everything looked good.
Thanks for having me.
:bigthumbs:
Got it today! HOLY COW this thing is bursting at the seams with deliciousness, boys! The wait...was definitely worth it :-) I plan to do puts/takes tonight and get it in the mail tomorrow.
Atta boy, thanks man! :bigthumbs:
On my way to the post office right now...thanks for letting me play!
Great turn Nick, thanks! :thumbsup:
Pass arrived today. I will get it turned and back out, hopefully tomorrow.
:bigthumbs:
Awesome! Finally coming my way.
Alright Chris, this one is on the way! Thanks for having me Gary, fun to pick through this one!
Glad you enjoyed it, and well done on the takes and puts! Moderating this has been fun to do; everyone has done an awesome job with it. :thumbsup:
Yea! Finally headed my way.
Got the package today. Just need to finalize my puts list.
headfirst, how accurate is your wishlist?
Wow, now that's some geek-level thoughtfulness to be checking that out. It's accurate. If I have any on that list it would only be 1 of that particular stick (except Alec Bradley Maxx, I have a few of those), so I'm thrilled to get anything that's on there. :rocker:
Finally getting this wrapped up. Some extras have found their way in. Will get this out tomorrow. Thanks guys!
Wow Chris, thanks for the puts bomb, you definitely studied my wishlist! :dancing:
And thanks to everyone for being part of this pass, it moved really well, 13 turns in under 2 months seems like a very good pace to me. I had a blast moderating it and will definitely do another when I think of another good theme and it seems like one is needed. :-)
Well done Gary. This was a nice smooth fun pass, thanks for having me in it.
On its way home. Thanks guys!
Thanks Chris!
As soon as it arrives I'll leave feedback for you and close this thing out so everyone gets their points before the end of the month. I believe I've left feedback for everyone else in the pass, if I missed you let me know.
The pass is home and in good shape. Thanks to everyone who played, this was a blast and I'm overwhelmed with what came home!
Was a great pass Gary. Very nice selection of cigars you ended up with.
Great pass brother! Really liked this one.
A tip for all newbies wanting to start passes: ask a vet for some advice before you start. I have to tip my hat to longhorn for giving me some great advice before I set this pass in motion and it really helped make it a good pass I think. Thanks again Brad...
