This pass is all about flavor and personal favorites my brothers.

 I'm going to start the pass with a number of my personal favorites.  Some will cost around a buck some will cost around 15 bucks.   All will be great smokes IMHO.  

My hope for the pass is that everyone gets to try something that they have wanted to try.  

This pass will be a scouts honor sort of thing.   Hopefully we all can play nice, and share well.  Which from reading the threads of the past passes doesn't seem like it will be a problem.

There will be a couple of contests and suprises along the way, so it ought to be fun for all.
Smoke line up to follow

As I posted in one of the other threads, I'm unfortunately going to have to take a pass on this one.  My schedule has been way too hettic lately.  In addition to that, the inventory I currently have in my humi is pretty much single cigars of sticks that I haven't had the chance to sample yet.  And I really dislike giving up cigars that I have, but haven't smoked yet.  So I am going to sit this one out (unless something changes before the Pass gets underway).

[SenorPablo]

I would be interested in joining the pass but I don't have ISOMs to trade with.  So not sure I would be a good fit for this pass.

[emind56]

Your a perfect fit Paul.  I was hoping that some of you guys who don't have any will get to try some of my favs. and that way I can share my love for them and we can increase the number of reviews of Habanos in the db.

[SenorPablo]

Allright then i'm in!

[ljlemer]

I want to be educated about the ISOM but I don't have a contrabandista, I mean, supplier. Bomb me the first lesson. Wait. I'm a fast learner. Bomb me the first few lessons. I promise a great book report, I mean, review.

[emind56]

I'm sure there will be some in the box when it comes to you my friend


We need more participants....come on fellas  

[emind56]

Updated the begining cigar list....more to come (I gotta look through the humi)

[emind56]

We need at least 4 more BOTL to make this pass complete...come on fellas.

I feel stupid but what does the term "ISOM" mean?  From what I've gathered, I'm figuring its a high end cigar with a hefty price tag. I wont be taking any of those...

I actually had to ask the same question a few months ago.  It stands for Island South Of Miami, obviously meaning Cuba.

I am a bit surprised with the lack of participation.  This is a great opportunity to smoke some pretty out of the ordinary cigars!  I am pretty pumped about it

Could you add that 'jonesing' to the term page? Does this contrast with 'smithing' or 'McGilskiing'?

Alright fellas box is all set to begin its journey tommorow.  Fla will be the first stop.  Then the box will track north up the coast to MD before heading back to AZ.  There are several ISOM smokes in the box at this point.  Please if you have no Habanos to replace your takes with, just take one of the ISOMS so as many as would care to will have a chance to partake in the forbiden fruit.  Otherwise lets play fair and have a good time.   Check out the initial smoke list, there are 17 cigars in play right now, some of my favorites, and some of my favorite daily smokes, thus the name Rags to Riches.
