Puro Pot Pass III

**mrtr33** · 01-20-2010, 03:09 PM

I am posting this to gauge interest in running another Puro Pot Pass. What's a Puro Pot Pass? The last time this was done, it was done here. The first time it was done, it was done here.

The rules, as proposed, are here:

The Object : Be able to guess the country of origin of a nude, puro cigar. A "puro" is a cigar where the wrapper, binder and filler are all from the same country.

The Prize : This will be a sort of "jackpot" style prize. Here's an example:

Player A: Will be me. I will start this off with a nude cigar and a prize pack of 3 sent to Player B

Player B: Guesses wrong. Has to send his prize pack and nude stick, plus an additional 3 to Player C (now 6 cigars)

Player C: Guesses wrong. Has to send his prize pack and nude stick, plus an additional 3 to Player D (now 9 cigars)

Player D: Guesses right. Keeps prize pack of 9, and then sends out nude stick and a new 3 pack to Player E.

Player E: As the last player, if he guesses right. He of course keeps the prize. But if he guesses wrong he must bomb an unsuspecting victim not associated with the game. Preferrably a n00b.

This is for everyone. Prize pack sticks are to be $3-5 and the nude cigar needs to be at least $5 and HAS to be a puro, meaning everything about it has to be from the country of origin. This will take some researching on your part. Check out CigarCyclopedia's Comparison Shopper for help, or other approved cigar pricing sites. If you have a question about the MSRP of a stick, post and ask. Don't assume. If you need help determining whether or not a cigar is a puro, ask. You can PM me or other board members who aren't playing if you'd like.

On top of a prize pack - everyone will receive an image award and must display it as their sig tag for one month from the day of receiving it. There will be a reward for guessing right - and one for guessing wrong. Do not alter your sig tag in any way for thirty days after posting - this means resizing or obstructing view in any way. I'll post an image gallery of all sig tags in an image gallery as the contest moves along.

There's no limit on how many or who can play. This is for newbs and FOGs alike. After everyone is done signing up, then I will arrange the order and get this party started. The only rule is that you can't be a total loser flake meathead asshat. You aren't allowed to play.

What say you?

The pass will likely start the first week of February. I will start it out, and will choose the order (at random) and will post in this first post in this thread.

This took off a bit quicker than I anticipated. Although anyone who wants to play after we start will be allowed (you'll be added at the end of the list), everyone who's signed up, please PM me your address. Even if you think I already have it. Once I have everyone's address, I'll draw names, and we'll get this started.

Oh heck, a reason to smoke a cigar and share some sticks with others...I'm in .

**dr. cox** · 01-22-2010, 12:44 AM

I will give this a try. I will pm you my address.

**Silencei2** · 01-22-2010, 04:14 AM

I'm down for this one!

**EGQ** · 01-22-2010, 09:48 AM

Count me in.

**mrtr33** · 01-25-2010, 10:49 AM

We have all the addresses for all participant to start; remember, if you want to play, PM me. There is still room and time. The order is in the first post in this thread. Keith, are you ready?

I forgot to mention in my first post that each blind-cigar smoker provided like a little mini-review of the cigar they smoked. Not so much of a badwhale-type in-depth review, but just a few notes of what you were thinking when you smoked the cigar, as a way to describe how you decided on the country of origin when you were smoking it. Makes this all educational and stuff.

Let's get this started!
