You should also put up your list of seed cigars in the pass information section. That way geeks can see what you are starting with, and it may entice them to join your pass... :biggrin:

My suggestion, and it should apply as a pass standard, is that the original seed and all following puts should include the price as judged by the person who is doing the puts.  It can eliminate guessing and save time looking things up.  If a price seems out of line it can be addressed.

Good luck on the pass, will be watching from the sidelines

I like this idea. It's not often that info on a specific cigar is hard to find but it does happen.
This is not the admin you're looking for...

Grabbing the bull by the horns, I like your enthusiasm Lee. I want to play.  May I suggest throwing in some common cigars such as the AB's and MUWAT's you have. This would make puts and takes easier for members who don't stock opus x. Just my two cents.

Another good idea for puts are local B&M house blends.  Many are not available easily, some B&M don't ship so always looking for that different smoke

Great idea on the B&M house blends....I just got back from Tampa and got some great local cigars from Tabanero......I'll throw a couple of those in.  Appreciate the ideas.  Few more participants and I'll get this started!! :dancing:  :dancing:

You may want to consider putting the participants in order geographically.  If the package follows a loose path around the US, it moves faster, and keeps postage costs down for the participants.

 Good point. Lee I don't think you can see address just yet. Once everyone is signed up I can send you who is in what state to help out.

Thanks much - I double checked and I can see the addresses eveyone has entered as they requested to participate.  Once we get to 10 I'll reorder for it to follow a path around the US.  I'm really looking forward to this and glad everyone has decided to give this "newbie" a chance!

No worries, brother!  I actually joined by accident (spilled my drink and my mouse went wonky), but since nirab's knickers are already in a wad, this looks like fun!

Hello all....just updated the cigar list with the final starting.  15 cigars total and I hope a nice mix to begin this pass.  We have 8 participants.  When I get 2 more I order us in a better geographical sequence and get this out the door.  Thanks for hopping in.  If you know of anyone else point them this direction and let's get this pass started.

Your seed list is very good, nice job, but it also should include the country of mfg and size
example: Alex Bradley Prensado (HON 6.25 X 52) ($8)
Now that might not be the cigar in the pass but only meant as an example

Also if the vitola is part of the name or it has its own name that should be also included,  Like for the AB you have, if it is a TAA release, or has a year associated with it like the Camacho Liberty

I am one who like to look thru the list a few people before me to see what is there for possible takes.  Including as much detail really helps

Your doing great, just a lot to learn.

I've got to applaud Lee for asking questions and following the advice of some veteran Geeks.  Being in your first pass is intimidating enough, but running a pass as a newbie takes real bravery (and a thick skin).   Stay involved as a moderator, don't just sit back and put it on auto pilot (that is a sure recipe for disaster). Find a mentor or two to send private PMs to with questions.  Keep asking those questions and let the brothers guide you, and you should do fine.  :bigthumbs:

Bonus kudos if you send headfirst (Gary) a Pineapple White Owl and challenge him to smoke it.  Remember, to tell him "pictures or it didn't happen!"  He would be a real pvssy if he declined. :biggrin:

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm more of a "hop in and learn as I go" rather than sit and study for a long time.  Like any approach - it has its pros and cons!!

I wasn't a cigar smoker until January of this year.  I did some intensive work for PTSD and some of the other guys in the program were cigar smokers.  Many evenings after long grueling days of dealing with all our past trauma we would hang around the firepit and they got me into smoking cigars.  I quickly fell in love and have been learning ever sense.  

I'm in a phase of try a bunch of stuff, really develop my palette, and learn learn learn.  I really appreciate this site, the forums, and the chance to interact with and learn from others.

I appreciate any and all feedback/suggestions - as long as they come from a place of helpful and not criticizing!

Thanks for "taking me under your wing" - all of you!
