Cigar Pass Name: Texas Hold'em January 2016
Details: The holidays are pretty much over and I wanted to do a fun pass that had been done before. Jessica (Cigarplace) had no issues with me piggybacking on her idea.
This will be a Texas Hold'em pass. I will include envelopes (10) with 2 cards and upon receiving the pass you will pick a hand (envelope) these will be your hold cards. Submit a picture in the pass. Do all your puts and takes and send them to the next person. Half way through I will ask the next member to display the "FLOP". Then few more the "TURN" will be displayed and after I receive the pass back I will display the "RIVER". The winner with the best hand will receive a fiver from me out of the pass cigars.
This Pass is for members who have been in at least (2) passes with good feedback and have a "Veteran" status or higher, or by invitation. Those outside of the US can play "virtually" and will need to pay shipping both ways (which is about the same cost as mailing a bigger box within the US anyway.) I will be happy to assist anyone with questions on value, puts, takes, etc. as the Pass moves along. Or feel free to ask another FOG for advice . . . there is never shame in asking!
The cigars in this pass will have a 3.5 star (or better) rating and have strength of medium, medium-full or full. No mild cigars or dog-rockets welcome here! Infused cigars should be kept in a separate ziplock bag and not mingled with the rest of the cigars. Value of cigars will be between $5 and $20 dollars. Trade value should be done by comparing box prices first from well known sites (like CI, Famous, Atlantic, etc.) Auction sites or "Crazy Eddie" cheap deal sites (like Cigar Page) should NOT be used to determine value. Average Member Purchase Price in the DB is not accurate either (because its usually much lower due to extreme savings).
Rating: An average of 3.5 stars or better AND reviewed by at least 2 members (this eliminates reviews of 5 stars on one person's personal taste.)
Caveat: If the cigar is unrated or only has one reviewer but its sister cigar of the same blend but different size has average 3.5 stars or better, its fair game. There may be other unforeseen exceptions, and all questions on ratings should be made to the moderator for final determination.
As always, please respect the value in your puts and takes, and follow Cigar Pass Etiquette (link found here:

Good Luck... I will plan on getting this sent out after I get back from vacation. If I do not respond right way to a request it's because I'm out having fun and not ignoring you.
Going to limit to 10 spots because I don't want this to take all year and we can always do another one with new players later in the year.
Thanks for playing!
Also thanks to Bruce I copied the majority of his pass because I didn't want to reinvent the wheel. Thanks to Jessica for the idea
