I'm going to help out Jackal and run this new pass. Feel free to look over the previous 2 Karma passes to see what we are trying to accomplish. This is a fantastic way to earn some reputation with your fellow geeks. This is essentially the jumping point to get invited to some of the other passes. Feel free to PM me any questions you may have and please make sure to read the Pass Etiquette article. I hope everyone enjoys this and I look forward to seeing lots of our newer members participate.

Thanks!

Rich

Since I've been around here for a little while; I figure now is as good as time as any to get in on a pass. If you'll have me I'm interested.



Do Swisher Sweets and Black & Milds count?  :confused:    
Just kidding!  :biggrin:

I'm Game.

:bump:

this pass isn't really getting much member participation.    Come on noobs....or even old timers that haven't been involved in any passes.   Jump in the pool and have fun!

I might join this one soon Richard....best of luck getting a full roster of folks for your pass.

i would like to try

i have 100% fee back on a gun forum and guns are worth more ;)

I'm in......

If you'll have me  :cigarman:  :thumbsup:

I wouldnt mind tryin this out. I would also understand my exclusion since I'm super new and all.
Steven

:bump:  We  need a few more members for this pass.

Definitely would like to get this going by the middle of next week at the latest. Would really like at least 2 more, so if you haven't done a pass please feel free to look over the etiquette post and join in. The more the merrier!  :biggrin: That being said, I will get this out by the end of next week even if no one else signs up. This really is a great way to try some new sticks and gain some rep with your fellow BOTL.

Ive done this pass before, and although Im not a newbie anymore, if you need some more men, Ill be happy to jump in.

:)

I have put in a general stick list that I feel has a fair mix of my collection. That being said if people want me to include something that they would like to try and if I have it I would be willing to throw it in. I have just under 1k sticks so please put your requests within reason and I will try to accommodate it. Also, this is a reminder to please read the Pass Etiquette sticky. On that note we need to expect everyone to act accordingly and treat those down the line well. I'm sorry to have to mention this and certainly don't want to be a downer but there have been too many incidents of people not following proper etiquette. One more house keeping item, I would really like to get this out next week so anyone that's on the fence, please send me a request. We can always add on as it moves along but world prefer to have the roster fairly set before I ship everything out. Thanks everyone!

That is quite an impressive list of sticks.  

People, please remember to replace cigars with ones that are individually of equal or greater value.

Do you think I should maybe offer some more "mid-range" and lower sticks. I don't mean "dog rockets" but maybe something a little lower on the price scale? I want the new people to have a good choice of sticks.

I think that may be prudent.

The Monte, ESG, DCM and Liberty are pretty high end cigars.

You may want to look more toward Rocky Vintages or Fusions, Perdomos, Padillas and Alec Bradleys to make things still filled with good solid cigars, but more accessible to everyone.

Ok...I will switch those out. Appreciate your input Jason.

Let me know if you need an extra body in this pass.

This will be going out Monday to Billy. Would like to have had a couple of more new people involved but I think we have enough to make it a good pass. Thanks everyone. I hope people enjoy it and get to try out some new sticks. As always please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Saw the pass started.  Ill keep an eye one for the box on wed.  You have some nice sticks on the pass cant wait to them.

Just as a heads up, I ended up over-nighting them so you should see them tomorrow. Enjoy!  :biggrin:

I will. :dancing:  I like a kid in a candy store, cant wait!

Got the pass today around 1:30pm. will be sending it off to herfin' chef tomorrow.

Sounds great. Glad you got it and thank you very much for the quick turn around.

Your weclome ratboy

Standby to receive, Carlo.

Wow! Fastest pass transitions ever! Thanks guys!

Update:
Went with Fed-Ex instead of USPS.
Wanted Phatchuck to have 'em by the weekend...
Enjoy, and thanks for having me in the pass.
 I hope my "puts" were satisfactory.

Thanks Chef!!!  Can't wait to open the box.  

After looking at the list, I'm contemplating snatching the whole thing and entering the Witness Protection Prgram.   :angel:

Looking forward to getting the pass.

Not to worry, the pass is off and on it's way to WA.  Now I know not to joke about that stuff.  ;-)  I take it that people have actually done that before.  That's a pretty s**tty thing to do, as well as pretty stupid.  So is that what a twinky is?

Thanks for getting it off so fast and the nice puts and takes. Unfortunately, yes we have had a few members that absconded with passes. Twinky stole one with almost 60 smokes in it (its why we now have an Unlimited pass part DEUX) and a couple of others stole some really high dollar/rare stuff. Twinky, Tex, Markinde, and a few others are really, really dirty words here.  :biggrin:

I hope it's not to late to get in. I put in a request, but I've never done one of these before.

We can squeeze you in  :-)

Tracking number says it should have come yesterday. It was a no show, and the post office did not have it at their facility this morning. Hopefully the mail carrier has it on her rig and it will be here this afternoon.  :confused:

Maybe I'm just being to eager.  :dancing:

Event though it said it would be delivered yesterday, I assumed it would have been there today.  Last week I had a package come a day late from when the original delivery date was, so I figured this would be the same.  But that package was coming from PA to NY.  NY to WA is quite a hike, plus there was a long weekend thrown in there.  Hopefully tomorrow you'll have it.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Markinde made a joke like that just before he disappeared with the pass, so yes, it's a sensitive topic.    Thanks for your understanding, no harm done.

See guys -- I REALLY WAS kidding about snatching the pass.  


Thanks for letting me participate, and I hope my sarcastic sense of humor will not prevent me from being in many more......   :biggrin:

I hope you enjoy that AVO Bryan.  It's smooth as silk..........



 :smoker:

I got the pass today.  It's Friday night here, so I'll probably get this out on Monday.

I'm glad it made it there okay. The tracking number wasn't working for me on my end so I wasn't sure where it was at, so I was kind of worried about it. Thanks for the update.

I can't track with USPS. It only shows the package was picked up.

Processed my Takes and Puts.  Just waiting on Girliepiper to get home and do the same.  The Ziploc box
was getting too full for the lid to stay on, so I added another container.  I hope everyone on down the
list will appreciate my "Wisconsin Humidor."  I would never have thought of it -- necessity really IS the
mother of invention...

herfdude did you get the box on saturday

My mailing address is at my office so it was delivered on Saturday but I didn't get it until today. I will go through it tonight & I should have it back out in the mail tomorrow.....

Too many fires today..... the pass will be in the mail tomorrow.

Didn't even have time for a single cigar today..... and when I don't have time for a cigar it's a crazy busy day..... :notamused:

Pass box went out today. I will post the tracking # tomorrow.....

Keeping an eye out for it.  Thanks!!

My error. I wasn't clear enough in my post. The Karma 3 pass still shows a request to join button and that's the pass for the new guys.

Rodney - if it is too late on this pass, keep checking.  There is usually a newbie pass being started every couple of months.

Rodney, I'm sorry but I want to shut this one down. Also, you don't quite meet the criteria set for the pass. Either myself or Jackal will be starting another  Newbie pass depending on interest in the next month or so and I will make sure you get an invite.

Thanks,

I was informed the "package" has arrived in good shape. A day early too! Will check it out when I get home later.  Thanks.

Received the box yesterday and everything looks great. Thanks everyone for participating and keeping things moving along nicely. Ill be closing out the pass today so everyone will get their points. Also, if you are new and didn't get in on this one, shoot me a pm or drop a line here. As soon as we get enough interest I will set up another newbie pass. Thanks again and I hope everyone enjoyed! :bigthumbs:
