    Default The Ball and Chain Pass

    Alright guys, here it comes, Cigarsmokers.com next box pass. I have called it the Ball and Chain pass because I am getting married on January 7th, 2006 to my wonderful fiance Michelle. In honor of this, I want to do a pass. This pass is a MEDIUM-HIGH END PASS, I repeat, a MEDIUM-HIGH END PASS. I am looking for 15 participants, all who must have trading history, whether it be PIF, Trades, Newbie Sampler, Box Splits, whatever. In order to get in on this pass, you must read the links below if you have never participated in a Box Pass.

    About a Cigar Pass
    Rules of a Cigar Pass

    The basic premise is, equal takes to equal puts, rapid turn around, and consistent/constant communication.

    If you feel you are capable of these things then come one, come 15. To give you an idea of the types of cigars that will be in the pass to start here is a teaser (final list to be posted once participants are accounted for): Opus X, Padron 1926, La Aurora Preferido 100 Aņos, ISOM's, La Casa Grande Reserve (local cigar shop premium). In other words, cigars of a value of 8 dollars and up. To avoid what happened to CigarSarge via ReaganYouth, do not get in on this pass if you currently do not have any medium to high end smokes. Do this if in your humidor are medium-high end cigars already.

    I would like to extend personal invitations to some BOTL's who have been good to me such as: Ggiese, CoventryCat, CigarSarge, Jaewing, GTPHale, Gran Cru No. 2, AlexGTP, Mithril, Diesel and of course our Board host Hex. If I am forgetting any other BOTL's that have indulged me before, I apologize, I personally invite the forgotten too

    So it begins...

    Participants:
    BigMacFU (Host)
    CigarSarge
    nhcigarfan
    Superman78
    Hex (offering his finest )
    Ggiese (and the cigars that roll out of his bee-hind)
    Cigar No Baka

    GTPHale (Making one sexy three-way there GTP's + Giese )

    (Hey, this was my 300th post, how appropriate)

    OK, I've engaged in two trades (one done, on ongoing) on Clubstogie, and one Cigar Draft here, but never in a box pass. Can someone point me to a thread that explains how a box pass works so this noob don't screw it up?

    Anyone want to vouch for Basil? I've got no problem with adding him.

    I would like to join if there is room for a Red Sox fan.
    I did a trade with Superman78 in July and am involved in buying a sampler from AlexGTP right now.
