I thought I had but apparently there is a setting to make it visible.

A separate question: what should we use to evaluate the price of our puts and takes?  If somebody scores a box of something for half MSRP, I don't think that should be compared to a single purchased at a B&M in Montreal (200% $$$$ales tax) so what reference levels the playing field to determine value?

Your address is visible to those in the pass, so no worries.

For the value of puts/takes, we usually use Cigars International box price.  For the higher end cigars and boutiques, I tend to use MSRP or 10% off MSRP as a guide, since these cigars are rarely discounted.  Just keep in mind that 2 $5 puts do not equal 1 $10 take.  Also, any take for a  HTF or Cuban should be replaced like for like.  As long as the value, cigar for cigar, is close, I'm not going to worry about it.  The spirit of the pass is to get some of you involved, build some credibility, and HAVE FUN!

Ok, it looks like all invites have been accepted, so I'm closing this off to new participants.  The pass order has been set, and the seed cigars are done.  Since I'll be busy the next few days and this weekend, I'll plan on kicking this off early to mid next week.  Thanks to everyone who joined, and please be sure to read the articles in the original post prior to your turn in the pass.

 :bump: to new page so everyone knows where we stand.

Back from out of town, so I'll try and get this packaged up and out the door by the end of the week (Saturday at the latest).  Looking forward to getting it kicked off!

Thanks guys, I'm preparing the stuff to go in it today. Took me quite awhile to do so but just so you all know now, that Flatbed Cigar is ALL MINE!!! Don't worry I'll replace it with some good stuff. I hadn't planned on making any take/puts but I've been hearing good things about that stick and I just have to try it.

Also, I'm going to be doing some geek math. There will be 15 envelopes in the pass box that we'll be adding to the game. Each Geek is to take only ONE envelope. Enclosed you'll find a gift certificate for either $5 or $25 dollars. The only catch is there is only 1 $25 gift certificate and you won't know which one you have picked randomly until you try to redeem it. You can check your gift certificate balance using this link.

I hope you guys enjoy the hunt and May the Odds be Ever in Your Favor!

Great job Jessica.... The Flatbed Cigars are really good.

I wish I could have gotten in on this but I'll be out of town and didn't want to take a chance on holding it up.

Have fun everyone
