In the spirit of one of my all time favorite ball teams winning the World Series, and after digging deep in the humidor for those cigars I had been saving for a great event (and bc now I need to find new cigars to tuck away), I felt that this pass would be fitting. This is a celebratory cigar pass. i.e. what would you smoke to celebrate your #1 team 'WINNING THE PENNANT!'
I"m not Cubbies fan but I was cheering for them.Really enjoyed the series. :thumbsup:

To be fair, I would have been equally pleased to see Cleveland win. Would have been exciting to see two titles go that way this year!
I'm in! Looking forward to it.
Cubbies have been my team since I was a kid. I gotta get in on this one!
been waiting a lifetime for this
Jason and Eric, you're both in! Thanks for joining up!
Seed list set... just waiting for 12'ish geeks to sign up for the pass!
thanks for having me
I'm in!

Great to hear! only a few more and we'll get this show on the road!
Thanks for the invite, but I've been sitting passes out for a while. You all have fun!
Im in, but i'm also going to be that guy that points out that they won the pennant before the World Series... lol

For sure! But it sounded much more catchy with this title. :hitme:
Quotenwb - 11/8/2016 12:51 AM Thanks for the invite, but I've been sitting passes out for a while. You all have fun!
No worries. Can't partake in them all!

you can't get the big one without the other! :biggrin: ...that's what she said! :shy:
Thanks for having me. Looking king forward to the pass.
Looks like 12 participants is our magic number! I'll start working this and hope to have it started on its way Friday!
All packed up and heard from Brian... Package hitting the mail tomorrow!
And we're moving!
Got the package, all looks good, but I'm probably going to change the box out.
Great to hear! Happy to see it made its first destination safely.
On its way to Raize. Not sure whats going on with the tracking though...
Excellent. And, it looks like the tracking link is working now! Thanks die a fast turn around.
No problem, I repackaged everything into a new container and box too.
Appreciate the packaging updates! And your put and take was a great choice. Waiting to see some more great puts and takes!
Tracking info shows a delay, but still enroute!
Good start Brian,
Got the pass. Damn fine selection there.
Great to hear! Hopefully gets some great smokes to you guys during the holidays!
is this pass on the slow boat to nowhere???... :shy: :shades:
Tracking shows it was received Friday, hopefully we'll get some tracking info or an update soon!
Received a message from Jason. He's going to have the package back on the move by the end of tomorrow! On the move again!
Shouldn't take long from him to me and I'm ready to flip it quick.
Sorry for the radio silence guys. Been a busy couple of weeks. Turned the pass yesterday. Not quite sure what the Por Larranaga stick I put is. I've never seen it before so thought I'd pick it up. Upon further research, I'm still clueless. Maybe Brian can identify it. Either way, if it turns out this stick is garbage, let me know and I'll find a way to get a known quantity into the mix.
Thanks for the update and tracking info! I'll have to refer to others on the cigar value as well... don't know a thing about an M&G. But happy to see it moving again.
Box arrived today. Should get it back on the road tomorrow.
I did find the Por Larranaga here: http://topqualitycigars.com/POR_LARRANAGA.html It is Dominican and I believe it's older. Altadis released a different version recently I believe, new bands etc.
Jason also needs to transition the box to me...or I can't send it along.
Well s**t, if that MSRP is accurate, I got screwed and owe the pass a stick. On a side note, I recall the M&G band being green. Wonder if that makes a difference...
S*** happens, no biggie. Just let me know how you want to approach this.

I thought it was black when I first looked at it. Could be a really dark green or a really dark blue. I had a heck of a time even finding the link I did. Pretty sure they are no longer in production and that could have played into the price you paid.
Can you transition the box to me? I can hold it for a few days until you guys decide what you want to do. I don't have an opinion :whistle:
Can you snap a pic and post? Maybe one of these other guys has a clue. Either way I'll pick up another stick this weekend and shoot it to whomever is next in the pass so you can get it back out.

Actually, don't worry about sending another. I'm going to take it and I'll cover the price you posted with my put. My wife also thinks the band is a really dark green, no matter, it smells good and I'm going to smoke it. :biggrin:
Now that is a functional geek resolution!
Looks like this should be landing with Eric very soon!!! That was a FAST turn-around Brian!!!
I kind of stalk the boxes before they get to me so I have some idea what I'd like to at least put, makes the taking easier if I know what I'm replacing with. I also don't like to have a box sitting around for longer than necessary. Had to go to the PO and drop off my SS package anyway so figured why make 2 trips.

Well Sir, you are appreciated! :bigthumbs:

Moving right along!

Thank you for letting me be a part of this pass.
Some great puts and takes Eric! And those CAO cigars are great smokes!
PT's done! Going to get this one turned around on Monday!

Most excellent to hear. Missed this yesterda... and your puts takes look great!
Pass is on the way. Should touch down Thursday!
The update is greatly appreciated!
Oh buddy! This should be landing with Lee today!
:bigthumbs:
Package was delivered. Now it's just waiting to see what Lee does for puts and takes!
Hello All....Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays
Sorry I'm slow on the update. I left town just ahead of the pass arriving. My house/pet sitter said it arrived safely and it's there waiting for me to complete when I get back Tuesday. I will turn it quickly and get it back out Wednesday. Hope everyone is having a safe, happy, and...smokey holiday!
Lee
That's great to hear! Thanks for the update.
The pass is on its way. Tracking number updated. Happy new year everyone
Excellent to see the pass on the move! There is one great inventory in this pass!
Nice P&Ts guys! Great pass so far.
Quoteninfiction - 12/29/2016 12:46 PM Nice P&Ts guys! Great pass so far.
Without a doubt! Great pass for sure.
+1 on the way for the inadvertently crappy put. revised put = FFOX 20 Years Celebration Power of the Dream (6 3/8 X 52, DOM)
USPS - 9505 5000 0695 6365 0002 35
Nice Jason!
The sign of a stand up geek!
Happy Jan 1st! To all in the pass!!
The replacement stick landed today so I will fix that and get back out tomorrow or Thursday.
Solid. Thanks for the update.
Great to hear!
Jason took it upon himself to bomb me to make up for my turn in the pass. Totally unnecessary but very much appreciated. I told him I smoked the cigar he put and I took and it was enjoyable but he sent a package anyway.
Thank you very much Jason!
Geek generosity at it's best! Way to go Jason!
I don't know how you want me to do it, but I am going to take the Opus raize sent for a take. SO I actually have three takes and loaded my puts. A-OK?
A ok!
This is done, as stated I did keep the Opus Raize sent as one of my takes as well.
I did repackage as it appeared the USPS was in post holiday mode and the box was pretty heavily damaged. Due to the original packaging though, everything but the box made it through fine, so no worries.
Thanks for having me and enjoy the rest of the pass!

Thanks for both the status update and the update of packaging. Raize wanted to make sure the swaps were even, and it sounds like his delayed put was a winner for the pass! Definite props go out to you both for managing the addition within the pass! Great job fellas!
And excellent choices on you puts and takes as well!
I love it when a plan comes together
The package just arrived today! We've had so much snow on our road the USPS did deliver for two days.

thanks for having me in your pass. this was a great reason to have one. couldn't pass up a pass for my favorite baseball team (I'm one of the few cubs fans in St Louis).
almost forgot, you ran a great pass. looking forward to hopefully participating in many more of your passes in the future.
thanks again
I'm glad everyone enjoyed the pass... I'll see what I can put together for the next round!
