This is a thread generated automatically by the Cigar Pass system to discuss the Cigar Pass named 'Spring/Summer 2014 Newbie Pass'.

Use this link to return back to the Cigar Pass.


Since we haven't had a newbie pass in a while, this will be an opportunity for our newer members to try the pass system and build some credibility here at CigarGeeks.

Criteria:  You must be a new member (less than one year on CG) with at least 100 points.  However, if you don't meet these qualifications, another Geek can vouch for you.  For all others, I will make a determination based on your participation thus far on the site.  I'd like to limit it to people that have participated in 2 passes or less.

Cigars:  Please limit your puts to cigars that have a rating of 3.5 stars or cigars you personally enjoy.  The price range is open from $3.00 to $20.00.  ISOMs are allowed, infused/flavored cigars are not.  Please keep in mind the cardinal rule of passes: all puts should be like for like with takes (value for value AND availability for availability).

To join the pass, hit the join button, and you must confirm in the pass thread that you've read all three of the following:

Jump in guys.  Passes are great fun, and this is a great one to get your feet wet in.

I'll play.  This will make three passes I am playing in at the same time.  If space runs out you can bump me.  I sent my request.

Great opportunity for newer members to join in a pass. It's great fun and a nice way to learn about new cigars and get to know geeks a bit better.

I'd like to get in on one of these passes, get my feet wet. But I don't feel the time is right just yet, between work, the twins and everything else there is very little time left. And we live in an apartment on the 2nd floor, with no place outside to smoke. I get to sneak myself a small cigar in the car or while walking the dog every once-in-a-while.

So I'll wait until we have bought and moved into a house, where I can; either outside on the porch or in my "to-be" cigar lounge, sit down and relax with a cigar. If I am to partake in a pass I want to be able to do it right, and to enjoy my picks :-)

But, this is a great idea for a pass Nathan  :thumbsup:

Thomas, I think you would do well in this pass.  I imagine you could do virtual (hope I am not speaking out of turn Nathan) so you would just end your puts in.  Shouldn't take much time, and I am just telling you, these passes are fun dude.

I'm currently involved in two passes. On one I've already completed my puts and takes.
I'm enjoying both and am willing to play if you will have me. I've sent in my request.
You learn more by listening then you do from talking.

Barry - You are in.  Thanks for joining.


Thomas - Although I understand your concern, you are welcome if you want to join.  If not, then there will always be future passes to get your feet wet.

I'm going to sit this one out, thanks for all the encouragement :-) It will be extra special to save my pass-virginity to when I'm good and settled in our new home! Maybe I should treat myself to a promise ring  :?:

Fellow newbies give this pass a try. I've been involved with two and had a great time.
It exposes you to smokes you haven't tried yet and allows you to get to know your fellow Geeks better.
