Yeah, yeah, I know my last attempt to start a pass got derailed on my end, but let's try again. Here's the low-down on this one:
The rules are simple. The name of the cigar (or blender's name) must contain a word that starts with a capital A, B, or C. For instance, anything by Arturo Fuente would qualify, so would a Bolivar, but a Pepin Garcia corona or belicoso wouldn't. Got it? See? Ain't that easy? General pass etiquette applies. Unfortunately, I need to limit this to US residents/addresses and to Geeks with at least veteran status (unless you can have a Geek vouch for you).
I'll get the list of cigars together this weekend and hopefully we'll get this started by the end of next weekend. At the end of the pass, I'll pull a name from the participants and they'll get a bonus surprise!
Let's have some fun!
So what happened to D through Z Dave? :confused: WTF?
:biggrin:
OK Dave, I am in. My cigars will be with home made bands marked A,B,C
:biggrin:
Thanks David for letting me play
Suuure... why the hell not. Make it 3 people in Jacksonville playing along in this pass. Should make for faster/easier shipping, lol. Thanks for the invite.
Aside from Chuck, it is a FL pass so far!

I figured we could all meet up when the turns come up.

Was going to suggest the same thing. Hank and I did the same thing for another pass and not only did it save shipping, but it was a nice excuse to get out and be social. Look forward to it.
Got the bulk of the starter cigars up and listed. I might add or swap a couple before everything is finalized, but that's an idea of what were playing with. There's still room for a couple more participants. I want to get this rolling over the weekend.
I'm not a big fan of passes in general, but if I were around I would join in on this one just because it's Daves pass and it seems like he is making an effort to come back from the dead :biggrin: ...however, by the middle of June I will be moving to Oklahoma City from Florida and will be in Canada the first two weeks of June. If you want to add me to the end of the list, I figure I could respond by the 23rd of June. If that does not work, then my thoughts are with you Dave, have a great pass!

We'll see how it plays out, Pete. I'd love to have you in if possible, and good luck with the move!
Thanks for the invite, going to have to sit this one out unfortunately.

No worries, Brother.
Hey Dave thanks for the invite but I'm gonna have to pass on this one, pun intended
On another note - this made me realize that I really don't have many Fuente, AVO, or CAO's....gonna have to change that!

No worries, and you're welcome for the reminder! :shades:
This one is still open for a couple more players.
thx for thinking of me. i just haven't been into passes for a bit. hope it goes well for everyone!

I've been out of the loop for a bit. But you can add me in this one, I've been idle too long!

Good deal, and thanks for playing!
I'll get the order sorted this weekend and get this one airborne the first of the week.
Okay folks! It's been a whirlwind of poopoo kaka around the Casa del Dave this week. Computer and internet woes, puppy issues, and work has been insane. But I'm going to map this this one out and get it going! Any travel issues or anything, let me know.
No issues on my end, let's do it!
:bigthumbs:
Okay! Got everything sorted out. The order is updated in a circuitous manner. It goes without saying that I'm not going to bust anybody's balls if it takes a couple days to turn the pass around when it's your turn. John's (MusicCity) address isn't public, but he'll give it as needed when his turn approaches. I'll get the pass all boxed up and on it's way to StogieDad either tonight or tomorrow.
And Happy Father's Day!
Looks like I got some time to print my A B C cigar bands
:biggrin:
The ball is rolling and the package is in the air!
:bigthumbs:
Got her! P/T done in the next day or so and on the road!

Cool beans! Glad you got it. I was beginning to wonder if I'd got the address wrong. I checked tracking and it said "delivered to mailroom".
Is it too late to get in on this? I'd love to try some of these cigars you all keep talking about!
QuotePurosIndios1 - 6/29/2018 2:01 AM

I think not for the following:
a) missed the boat
b) no feedback rating
c) not playing with a full deck
d) you seem like a bit of a dick
I hope that answers your question.
This has been boxed up and transitioned, headed to the PO this afternoon. Tracking number 9405803699300658762329
Thanks for having me!

Nicely done and thanks for playing!
Hey everybody,
I am going to be out of town until July 10th. Wondering if I could appeal to the mercy of the court to get the box on the 11th?
Just wanted to throw this out there so that I don't hold the pass too long or worse (ie. it sits on the porch too long).
Hope you all have a great 4th!

Shouldn't be an issue. There are a couple Geeks in front of you. Thanks for the heads up.

Nirab just got back from IPCPR. Just got clearance to send the other pass that way, so he should be good now.
Box arrived today, P&T's are complete.
Box is headed to Dave tomorrow.

We've got some folks traveling and I need to rework the upcoming order. Does anyone have any dates they'll be out of town?

As per my PM August 4th - 10th
I've adjusted the pass order. Let's give it a day to make sure it's okay with everybody.
No vacation time for me any time soon. Just waiting on things to get closer to the end and hoping the Jax peeps can meet up.

Thanks for the follow up on this. I did receive the box on Monday and will await word on its next destination.
AS per my earlier PM, you need to move me or understand the pass will be delayed because of a trip I have the week of August 6th

All packaged up and ready to go! I'm just waiting on an address for the next shipment. Doesn't appear to be in the address list.

Sorry fellas! It has been done.

Ok, P&Ts are in and box on its way to the StampBastid'
thanks for letting me play
I Have the pass and will go through it tonight
This will go out today, probably see it tomorrow!
Thanks, Don!
Got the package today. Need to set up the final stage of the pass. I'm pretty open except Monday night (FSU opener) and next Wednesday for fantasy football draft. My thinking is the pass is pretty much over, pending our get together, so no huge rush...so whenever we can set it up? Up to you guys.

What's this weekend look like for y'all?
I'm game. Just let me know
Sorry, went out after work and missed this yesterday. Probably last minute, but I've got a convenient opening tomorrow during mid-day if that works for you guys. (The wife has stuff to do) Otherwise, I could do any weeknight after work. I get off at 6pm downtown. I can head anywhere, or if you guys want to actually check out the downtown Island Girl with me? I'm down for whatever.
It's been a whirlwind around the Casa d' Gitfiddl. How's this weekend look for y'all?
Yeah, it's a whirlwind here now also. This weekend is out for me. Got plans Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Ugh. Starting to look like I should just mail the package to Hank.
Are you still working across the street form my work? If so I could meet up there. Let me know
Damn! Sorry I missed this, guys. Must have gotten pushed out of the recent posts before I got a chance to read it. I work downtown now. Looks like our schedules just aren't going to line up any time soon. I'll just get it in the mail on Monday.
Where downtown? I'm in the Federal Building on Bay.
Ha! Now I'm right across the street from you instead of Hank. I'm at TIAA now. We can meet up and hand off if you want. I work til 6, but if that's late for you, we could meet at lunch or something if you want.
I got the pass today from Jeff (Cap10 Morgan). He met me outside the Federal Building where I work. Kind of funny. He said "I'm glad you came outside. I felt funny walking up to a government building with a taped up box..." :-0
Looking back, this is the third pass that has been handed off in person right outside my job. The first was the "Full Power Pass" back in July 2010. For some reason I can't view the pass history, but the details/banter are here: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=5575.0 I met DennisA in Hemming Plaza during lunch. Not sure what happened to Dennis...
The second was Kyle's (kylepwhalen) "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" pass in September of 2010 Kyle dropped off the Geeks map several years ago, too. Last I remember he was working for CAO (or a parent company in Georgia)
Hank (jagfandaddy) and I will meet up and put the wrap on this one this weekend.
I'd like to thank everyone for playing in the ABC pass. I think I've left feedback for all involved other than Hank. I'll put together the surprise bonus participation award in the next day or two. Who will the lucky winner be? Stayed tuned to this channel and find out...
