Repost the list, and the sending instructions to a new page

photo RoundRobinPassOrder_zps17887cb8.jpg


The three cigars you send should be unbanded & devoid of any identifying packaging. They should be labeled A,B,C (or 1,2,3, or I,II,III -- feel free to go crazy, but don't forget what they are!).  

Send a range of cigars:  one 1-4 dollar cigar, one 4-8 dollar cigar, and an 8 plus dollar cigar.  

For the purpose of this contest/pass and to be consistent with past Round Robins, we are going to use list prices of cigars (if you got a fantastic deal, use retail).  Your target spend should be in the 16-20 dollar range.  To make the pass a little more interesting, you will send 2 other cigars (making it a 5 cigar pass) that you think the recipient will enjoy.  The extra 2 cigars can be unbanded or banded, but make sure they are clearly labeled as extras.  Please make them respectable cigars!  The only budget cigar should be for the blind review.

I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.

Mike, regarding the pricing we should use... If CI (for example) shows an MSRP of $30 for a five pack, but a price of $25, should we consider that a $6 cigar, or a $5 cigar? (When I see "list price", I think MSRP.)

Use the box price that you can buy it for on CI or a similar type site.

Matt, if someone else wants to join before the deadline to send them you two can swap 5ers, otherwise you'll have to catch the next one.
