Brian, after you have this set up will there be a time period given to collect cigars and send out.  Also should we post in some type of order so we fill out puts and takes?

I will definitely give ample time to round up the sticks. I'm thinking about 2 weeks will be enough. One thing for sure, it will be a LOT faster than the last one!  :biggrin:

Sounds like a fun pass.  Thanks for having me.

I'll do what I will and I'll drink what I please
I'll smoke what I like 'till I cough and I wheeze
I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize
For this time tomorrow I may die

I would love to play if you will have me, do you have an estimate of when we will shotgun this off? The only reason I ask is that I will be out of town from August 9-16 and do not want to make me recipient wait.

You are in Joe! I am not sure when I am gonna have folks fire these off, but you should be good, and could even ship out after you get back. You got plenty of time to line up a twig, a fig n a big!  :biggrin:

Hallelujah!  The one from last year finished up, what, last week???   :biggrin:  :-0

McBryde

When are you estimating that we will get our names Brian? I just need to do some planning as to when I am home so I can get it out when it needs to be out. If it is going to start after this next week, then I will have to bow out, as I won't be home for another month roughly, and that might cause some issues with my recipient not liking me for a few extra weeks.

I'm in. Thanks.

I noticed the max is $250.   :-0  I guess I can't send any of my $300 cigars.  :-)
I'm right 98% of the time.  Who cares about the other 3%?

Frankly, I'm glad he put a realistic limit in there.  Sometimes there is a lot of pressure to go above and beyond, ya know?

I'd rather have a cigar...

I've got a lot going on right now, and also waiting for some geeks that I would like to see play in this pass. I am aiming to randomly assign each of you a name within a week or so, and then after that, give everyone 2 weeks to line up their sticks. That would have us shipping out around the last week of August. This gives everyone a chance to come up with the goods...and this will still be over a lot shorter than the last one!

Not only do they make bad cigars but they waste fine cognac as well :angry:

A $400 Gurkha, well, why doesn't that surprise me? No way would I fall for that trick! Does the cognac help with the crappy construction issues?

Fewer than 100 boxes of HMR are produced every year.

That's because there aren't more than 100 suckers out there to purchase them.

nirab

My fellow geeks, I am going to keep this open for geeks to sign up until August 10th. After that, I will randomly assign a geek to each of you, and let you know via pm who you are sending the 5pk to. Please keep this to yourselves! Just another element of surprise, and I think its cool not knowing who is gonna jack you up.

I am going to set the mail out date (shotgun start Nick!) for August 25th, so this will give you 2 weeks to come up with the sticks you are sending. And remember to include a "twig", a "fig" and a "big"! If you have any questions, shoot me a pm. Thanks y'all!!  :biggrin:  :bigthumbs:

Can't wait.  If you weren't around for it last year, there is some serious stuff going around in this pass.   Get ready to get jacked up, and make sure you flatten your BOTL!
