QuoteLonghorn - 1/14/2019 6:48 PMOK, Calvarez, that picture is messing with this thread - I'm in a particularly foul curmudgeon mood.... how about resizing that billboard and reposting?
QuoteLonghorn - 1/14/2019 9:43 PMNo need to post pictures - most cigars can be found in the database and there are plenty of pictures there.Here's where you can see what's happening with this pass:http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=cigpass;area=history;boxpass_id=255For an overview of the pass system, take a look here:http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=articles;sa=view;article=16All passes have the same general rule: Don't water down the pass! Your puts should be of equivalent worth as your takes and if you take an ISOM you replace it with another ISOM unless you've cleared it ahead of time with the moderator.The moderator will establish the rules for benchmark pricing (Kent went with house rules) - CI, Famous, or other reputable online dealers. Typically you use a single or fiver pricing if available. Otherwise, use box pricing to get to the value of a stick.It is customary, although not required, to leave a stick or two in the pass marked as gifts for the moderator.

So presumably, the extra puts for those who had takes were for the moderator? Assuming this is marked on the cigar, and not in the box pass system?

Extra sticks for the moderator are not listed in the puts and takes, there should be a separate bag marked for any donation to the moderator. (BTW Kent likes White Owls and Acids).Extra puts are just Geek math. Many people will add an extra into the pass just to help it grow

Quote05Venturer - 1/15/2019 12:19 PMPump the Brakes their fellas, no need to add anything extra for me running this. Don't want anyone to have to add extraneous amounts of postage to keep it moving.
Quotecalvarez - 1/15/2019 10:30 AMNo worries, I will remove any extra bulls**t in there put by those thoughtless bastards and lighten the load for everyone.
