Hey guys!
Was checking in to see how Canadian's have faired with passes on here over the past few years? I remember it being difficult and sometimes really expensive to participate in passes with my fellow American BOTLs. Is that still the same and would there be enough Canadian members who might be willing to start a pass?!
Edit: Now that interest is being expressed I'm willing to turn this into an actual pass. I'll add names below as interest goes and once we hit a certain amount of participants we'll make it official.
Interested members as of now:
Vanilla Gorilla (Greg)
Appollo (Stephen)
Quickme (Niki)
Pferg (Patrick)
biggsey16 (Rich)
freakydeakydutchman (Steve)
I know Stephen - Appollo often joins the pass and does his turn virtually. That way the entire pass isn't going through customs, just puts and takes. As you probably know, the cost can go up quick with a bigger heavier box.
I think if you have the right participants on either end of the crossing you can minimize the issues. Have to make sure the members know/are willing to pay the extra postage and mess with the customs form.
I was thinking about this myself,it would be fun.But everyone that starts passes has no trouble fitting me in.I either go first or last and it works out well.I would still like the all Canadian pass though. :-)
I belive we Canucks did an All Canadian pass a few years ago.. and it went well... from what I remember
I'd love to get one going again! Who'd be in if we did? How many is a good number to start with? If we can hit whatever that number is I'll kick it off myself!
I'd be in.
I'd be down for one!
Only if we allowed to build a pipeline
Ok Well maybe I'll start setting up an interested parties list?! If you want your name removed you can let me know in here or via private message. There'd be no hard feelings! Maybe once we hit a certain number we can get things started? Any suggestions for a starting number?

Would you be interesting in jumping in if we started a new one?!
We can keep it open for a bit and whenever it starts it starts. Looking forward to this :)
Awesome! Good luck guys!
Id be interested in Canadian Pass. I was in on the one from years ago. I don't have the variety of cigars i used to though,
Never participated in one, so let's go
Im in if you will have me.

You're in! I'll add you to the list
Its looking good.Get a few more were on our way.If nothing else I would go with this many if no one else signs up. :-)
It's looking good guys! Maybe we'll leave it up till the weekend then get things started early next week?
Well done brothers to the north, enjoy the pass
Sounds good Greg.
Am i included in the pass? I would like to if you'll have me.

Of course! I added you after you mentioned you'd like to be a part of it!
OK everyone
I'm going to leave this open for a few more days, purchase a couple new sticks to add to what I can put into the first shipment then send it out by the weekend. Sorry I dropped the ball on this last week, lots going on at work. Looking forward to get this started and I think for a first time we have a decent number to get us started. If people want to join in as we go we can figure that out later, or just keep this as a trial with those in the final list before mail out.
I'll create the official pass over the next few days and draw numbers to see who is sending the pass to who next. Looking forward to this, guys!
Thanks for organizing! Take the time that you need. We could always have this go around twice.
Thanks for organizing Greg.
Sounds good Greg, thanks for setting all this up.
Sorry for dropping the ball on this one guys. Work got out of control near the end of our fiscal year and I'm just catching my breath now. Hoping there is still interest and we can get this started in the next week or so once we get some responses!
