So, when the pass gets to me, Imma throw in a few Macanudo Vintage 1997 Maduros for participants to take for free. You don't have to count them as one of your takes but let us know if you've never had one and would like one to sample. I've got way too many of them!

Deal?

An idea for you:  It looks like they haven't been critiqued before on here and I think there's still no sponsor for June.  If you think they're worthwhile to critique and you get 5 geeks to sample it maybe there's the makings of a June geek critique?

Title: Re: My Favorite Sticks
Post by: Brlesq on 02/08/2023 12:43 PM
This sounds like a possible plan for the June Geek Critique spot.  Here's what I see though:  A Geek Critique needs 5 participants, so looking at the order here, Bob plus the last 3 guys (Nick, Todd and Gary) would all need to agree that they will participate in the June Geek Critique as a reviewer, and so will Stephen.  That would make a total of 5.  If we come up short of that, then we would need to find other volunteers outside of this Pass and Bob would need to mail them their cigar to smoke.

Thoughts from everyone involved?  (Bob, Nick, Todd, Gary & Stephen)
Title: Re: My Favorite Sticks
Post by: Bob Cordell on 02/08/2023 12:50 PM
No, I'll be the one submitting the sticks for review. I'm getting confused now...

Well maybe I'm confused, Bob.  I thought you were going to put these in the Pass as ride-alongs so they could get distributed without you sending them out individually. Why else is this being posted inside of appollo's pass?

If you are volunteering to host the June Geek Critique and you are sending the sticks out yourself, then I can post something up separately in the forum and get it moved out of this thread. Its a little early to post June's yet since we just posted April, but I can do that when the time comes and get together with you again beforehand. Let me know.   
Title: Re: My Favorite Sticks
Post by: headfirst on 02/08/2023 06:44 PM
I'm happy to participate in the review if Bob wants to save some shipping coin and send them through the pass box.  If it's causing too much confusion I apologize for suggesting this wrinkle!

I'm in for the June GC if needed, whether it's via the pass or otherwise.
Title: Re: My Favorite Sticks
Post by: Bob Cordell on 02/09/2023 07:38 AM
My original intent was to just give away some of those Macanudo 1997's, thats all. I have too many of them and was going to throw in a few extra's for anybody to take one and NOT count it in their puts and takes from the pass, I thought that was pretty simple but then this idea about a critique got thrown in the mix. It went to !@#$ after that...
Title: Re: My Favorite Sticks
Post by: headfirst on 02/09/2023 08:31 AM
Just do what you want to do Bob.  The June critique will take care of itself in time I'm sure.  The gesture of handing some of these out is appreciated!

I agree with Gary.  Just keep these cigars in your pass and don't worry about a critique on them . . . too much hassle!

Pass was dropped this AM, sorry I almost dropped without doing the favorite stick part and taking Chuck's favorite, so I had to reload.  But it is all good and gone.

My favorite stick for the pass is the Las Calaveras 2022.  While I've only had one of the 2022 so far (it was great) this is a release I stock up on every year and it never disappoints.  I have every year and even one or two left from the original 2014.

Everybody enjoy the rest of the pass and thanks for having me!

Quote from: StogieDad on 02/13/2023 06:17 AMPass was dropped this AM, sorry I almost dropped without doing the favorite stick part and taking Chuck's favorite, so I had to reload.  But it is all good and gone.

My favorite stick for the pass is the Las Calaveras 2022.  While I've only had one of the 2022 so far (it was great) this is a release I stock up on every year and it never disappoints.  I have every year and even one or two left from the original 2014.

Everybody enjoy the rest of the pass and thanks for having me!

Thanks again for the stick brother it looks great! Haven't smoked any of them since 2016 :smoker:

Puts and takes are done, thanks again for having me brother...I will get this back out on the road tomorrow or Saturday :smoker:

My favorite stick I'm dropping in for Ninfiction (Brian) is an Ashton VSG Pegasus, I always have a box of these in my humidor, it's been my "go-to" stick for the past 4-5 years now :smoker:

Appreciate you having me again brother, you got a great pass going, thank you...

Excellent! I look forward to it.

If the box shows up Tues or Wed I'll get it turned right away. Normally Kent and I meet up in person but I'll be out of town so I'll get it in the mail for him, it's a 1 day trip by mail.

Box arrived today. Thank you to Adam for the Ashton, it will be enjoyed very soon.

I've made my picks and am leaving an Illusione Epernay Le Matin for Kent. This particular cigar is from a box dated 2013, actually shocked I still have them. Kent knows just about every time he and I meet up for a smoke the Epernay is what I grab at the shop. Been a long time favorite of mine and Kent never smokes them in my presence (He's kind of cheap) so now he can see why I love them.

Thanks for including me in the pass, I love the premise behind it.

OK all, P&T's done. Very nice selection and I hope someone enjoys what i added in. It was very hard to pick just one favorite for Bob out of all my favorites so I am sorry but I had to send 2 LOL. And I am also gonna make him wait to see what they are and not posting it here. :biggrin:   They are in a bag separated from the others clearly marked for your enjoyment Bob.
I will update with tracking as soon as I have it.
Thanks for letting me in this one Stephen.

Ok, I have the pass and I'm going to try and repackage it. I'll use a new box and try to put some Bovida packs in there.

Thanks Kent for the sticks, imma put my favorites in a separate bag.

I've have put 4 Macanudo 1997 Reserves, everyone needs to snag one. There are also 4 Ki Ki Mo Mo's that everybody should take one of those as well.

I'll get this in the wind by Monday, hopefully😬

I sent it out with a tracking number of: 9534 6148 3065 7055 64.

I've looked everywhere and can't find the place I enter that info. Sorry guys, it's been a few years since I've been involved in a pass😂

Ok, were good to go now, the mobile app is a bit challenging on the pass transition and whatnot.

Check out my puts and takes if you'd like before I send it off. I took a KiKi MoMo and a Macanudo and added them back as (3) instead of (4). I did add the favorites to the puts since I removed the previous ones sent to me.

Thanks to Todd for the favorites, look forward to trying them.  And thanks again Bob for passing along a couple more to try.

My puts and takes are in.  There was a rogue Ashton Aged Maduro No. 40 in the pass that someone put in and didn't list.  That's one of my takes that I could not list.

At appollo's request I am holding on to the pass until the timing is better to ship it back to him, so I can either transition it without putting in shipping info, or it will stay open and I will transition it when it ships.  I'm open to whatever is best there.

This was a fantastic pass, thanks to appollo for hosting and to all the geeks for making it great!
