QuoteStogieDad - 1/27/2016  10:05 PM  Thanks for the invite,  looking forward to it.  A good morning smoke with coffee is always in my good graces.

Hmmmm,,,, this could get very interesting now..... :biggrin:  


If you want this to be really interesting, I can put myself in the pass order at #1...and #4...and #9. That's how this moderator thing works, right? Did I pick the wrong pass thread to read as an example? :hitme:

If I remember right, you dont assign yourself along the way, you just decide once you see a few you want to "purge", then you just decide it's time for the pass to come back to you.. That goes over well....

Wow, we've got a strong lineup of experienced Geeks! Let's get some newbs in here (and the door's still open for vets). Right now I think the newest member is the pass moderator. That doesn't seem right!!

A couple of updates this evening:

- chadboskie has been added and inserted into the pass order. We're up to 13 participants, which is getting right around where I'd hoped to have this. I will leave the pass open until at least the end of the coming weekend in order to allow those who see this a bit later or who are waffling

- I have updated the description in a couple of places. Most notably to allow Canadian Geeks to participate virtually if they so choose, and also to clarify the rule on special cigars - probably easier if you just read it. This is borne out of a desire to be able to share these sticks with whomever wants to try them but doesn't necessarily have equal/higher value cigars of the same type

- I have laid out a pass order to try and minimize shipping gaps, allow for potential in-person handoffs where applicable, and to accommodate a request or two that I've received. Please let me know if you are going to have prolonged out-of-town periods or would like to be shifted.

Justin (Gustoff) has joined, and suddenly we're up to 16. I had extended an invitation to another couple of newbs and vets. I will honor those invitations, but otherwise I will be considering the pass closed. Nice growth from last year!

Just a reminder to those newer to passes (including myself) - remember that as the pass goes on, especially with a larger number of members, the box may get heavier, and the shipping cost may gradually creep up if you're near the end of the pass (poor Gary, all by himself on the west coast). This is part of the reason that I tried to start this pass with some higher-valued cigars, so that hopefully everyone has some real goodies to pick from and it's well worth the cost on your part. However, if this concerns you, please feel free to contact me.

All right fellas, I'm closing the pass because it looks like we're ready to roll. I've attempted to get the biggest container I can find that I'm sure will fit in a USPS Medium flat rate box, but local options have proved to be somewhat limited. I think there's room for a solid five full finger bags, plus boveda, in the container, but if someone more experienced ends up having to swap out containers for optimization, I will be very appreciative and make sure that you are taken care of!

Trent, will you be ready to receive the pass within the next few days during your Mardi Gras festivities?

Got driven indoors yesterday by the blizzard, but dropped off the box at the PO this morning. Trent, estimated arrival is Friday!

NOTE TO ALL GEEKS: CHECK THE BOX THOROUGHLY WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT. There is an optional "secret event" riding along with this pass. Read enclosed note for details!

Is it safe to assume you got a hold of Brad, since the package is on its way? Thanks for the quick start!

Box has arrived~! The container and box are both too small to accommodate further cigars so I will be upgrading both to a more fitting size~! I also am arranging a meeting with Stogiedad to do a hand off but we may not meet until Friday and he will probably not be able to get the package back out until Monday. That shouldn't be too slow since we are getting two people done in 5 days~!

I will try to do my P&T's tonight......  :shades:
