And we're off!  Box went to the Post office today at lunch.  Tracking number is 9505510347946005154254

Gustoff, prepare to receive!  Pass has been transitioned to you, so you can now go into the cigar list to start Puts and Takes early if you wish (just don't hit "transition pass" until its out the door and you have a tracking number to enter.)

Good P/Ts Justin. I realized today that this is described as a Medium-Full pass, but I'll be one who will be happy to snag a couple of the lower intensity sticks. :thumbsup:

OK, tracking says this was delivered, but we'll wait for Justin to confirm.  The first job you have when you receive the pass is open it and show celebratory emotion :dancing: (NO drooling on the Pass! :drool: ). Then you should inspect the box and contents for any damage.  Next, AND THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP, you should take a quick inventory of the cigars in the box to make sure that they are all there and correct on the cigar list from the last player. Right now here should be 14, and you can all see the names of what they are. (Sometimes people forget to put a cigar in, it happens.  But if you don't catch it at this stage it will look like you stole it.)  Report any problems to the moderator, and do not post them here.  Most of the time it is a simple error.

Now do your Puts and Takes on the cigar list. Ask questions of the moderator or other trusted FOGs if you need to.  Maybe you can't get it out in the next day or two?  That's OK, life happens.  Just post that in the forum so everybody knows what is going on.  Touch base with the next guy in line to make sure he will be around to receive it. After you have sealed it all back up properly and have mailed it and received a tracking number, you need to TRANSITION the Pass to the next player.  This is also done from the cigar list page. (Only the player who's turn it is can see this.)  Enter the tracking number, the method of delivery (USPS, UPS, etc.) and then select the next player in line.  Then hit the transition button and post in the forum that it is on its way and has been transitioned.

Now your turn is done and you can start smoking those new cigars!    :smoker:

Bruce, don't mean to step on your toes but its highly recommended that you guys get a receipt and keep it until the next player has it in hand.  If for some reason it gets lost or damaged in the mail, they won't talk to you without it and you will need it to claim the insurance.

That is a sweet set of smokes! Picked out my takes, put in the puts and it'll be on the way tomorrow! So pumped to get the package I actually left work early! Look at these babies! Anyways, sorry for the late post (busy with family stuff), and Thanks again Bruce for getting this together for us newer guys!

Not at all! Good advice!  Thanks, Brian.

Great P/T's Justin!

The Pass has been transitioned and is on its way to MacMac. Joe - You should be able to see a different screen now under "Cigars" which allows you to do your Puts and Takes when it arrives.  Start thinking about these and comparing prices before the Pass arrives, but don't hit "transition" until you are completely done and have your tracking number.  (I can't fix that if you do.)

Feel free to shoot me a PM with any questions. (I cannot respond during weekday working hours.)

Dang this pass is moving along nicely. That gets the suspense going.
I never can understand how anyone can not smoke it deprives a man of the best part of life. With a good cigar in his mouth a man is perfectly safe, nothing can touch him, literally.

Question for Bruce!!!! I am next in line and then Devin (C130) is after me.  Devin lives less than 30 minutes from me.  Am I allowed to just give Devin the package after me or do I still need to mail it? Thanks!

A hand off is fine.  Just put that in the transition notes. I was already told that you guys were going to do this, and kept you together for this reason.
