Yes... I am going to pull about half the sticks and send them back to Jessica so that the mailing costs won't impact folks too much.

I was hoping for one more then I will order the pass and get it started. I am going to pull some sticks out and mail them back to Jessica to lighten the load for the start. I noticed we have one Canadian in the bunch, I know in the past we dealt with them virtually, what's the best way to proceed?
Title: Re: CigarPlace.biz NewVet Pass II
Post by: headfirst on 05/26/2015 02:19 PM
I remember longhorn going virtual with hebron in Norway before sending the pass out to the continental US, that seemed to work out well.  I think that's probably the best since you don't want appollo to have to pay customs for more cigars than he's actually taking if it happens to get stuck at the border.  My 2 cents...
Title: Re: CigarPlace.biz NewVet Pass II
Post by: Otter on 05/26/2015 02:46 PM
That's what I remembered too... Once I finalize the sticks he can go first, tell me what he wants then mail me his puts.
Title: Re: CigarPlace.biz NewVet Pass II
Post by: appollo on 05/26/2015 04:46 PM
That sounds good to me I will select the ones I want then mail you my puts.I have never had a issue with customs but there is always a first time.Let me know when you what me to make my decision
Title: RE: CigarPlace.biz NewVet Pass II
Post by: appollo on 05/26/2015 05:18 PM
If you want I can make my decision now
1] flatbed cigar company Panacea Green
2]Man of War Ruination Robusto
3]Cao CX2 Rob
4]Herrera Esteli Robusto Extra
5]Crowned Head Four Kicks

 These would be my choices and if you want to get them I will get my puts in by Friday.

Post by: Otter on 05/27/2015 04:30 PM
Ok Geeks... I pulled out some sticks to mail back to Jessica so the list that's posted are the sticks in the pass. I will put Appollo up first in the order and let him send me his puts, I'll mail him his takes, then get the pass moving. Jessica will be the last in the pass and she will have her box of goodies back :-)

Pass order has been updated based on geography, it'll travel west from here then east through Texas back to Jessica in Florida... I'll transition the pass to Appollo now so that he can update his P/Ts and mail me his takes. Jessica I'll get your sticks out tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

Hi Everyone,

I created a spreadsheet so I could can easily see the current cigars active in the pass after the puts and takes. I thought I'd share it with you. If you find it helpful, I'd try to post an update after each persons posts their puts and takes.

The spread sheet shows the original set of cigars first, then the 1st puts and takes, and finally an updated list of the cigars active in the pass.

Let me know if this is something you would like to see after each set in the pass.

Post by: Otter on 06/04/2015 04:33 PM
I received Stephen's (Appollo) Puts today. I have his Takes boxed up to send to him tomorrow. I also have the pass all wrapped up and will mail it out to Chuck tomorrow as well. The pass will continue on as a standard pass from Chuck terminating with Jessica in Florida.

Hi Everyone,
Here's the latest updated pdf file. Question....Do you find it helpful to have a file you can download to your computer or is the cigar list tab and the history tab in the automatic system enough for you? If so, I'll not take the time to do this, but if you like to have a download file, I'll keep it going.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Joe

Hey Terry,

Are you sure these two made it in the box because I'm not seeing them in here.

Crowend Heads J D Howard Reserve (5½x50, DR) (7/13/2015 10:35:51 AM)
Crowned Heads Yellow Rose (6¼x54, NIC) (7/13/2015 10:35:51 AM)

The Prohibition and Opus did thought as I'm picking them but I've been through the box and each of the bags and I'm not seeing them.
