Where are the reviews being posted

I would also send the person with the Cigars for Review a PM not tell him to send you one. What if he doesn't check this post for a bit?

Okay thanks, but I figured with over 240 posts and time enough to experience the game there might have been some changes to the rules (which is very typical in games like this) and I didnt feel like browsing through 240 some odd posts. Just me being lazy :smiley1:

Just PM me your address and I'll get these out Thursday. Reviews go here linky. We usually wait until we receive the cigars before offering up the next pair for review. It makes it easier for us slow folks to keep up with.

Without sounding like an old fart - and I know that this isn't in the rules, but I'd just express some caution on Quint doing the review sticks - he's a new guywith 4 posts (1/2 in this thread) and we shouldn't exclude him for that purpose but:

passes have rules, games have rules, and you should respect the game enough to read it if we're expected to trust you with our sticks. Usually, games or passes have post minimums - or folks sticking up for them - but most folks (myself included), did some trades, group-buys, etc. and general commentary before jumping in. Not to say you shouldn't, but keep in mind that what you post, what you do (and some cases, what you don't do) are part of your online integrity. If mine is a concerned stick-up-my-arse, I can live with that. But many a noob has burned in internet hell for taking us for tricks.

Just my 0.02

I respect your point of view and understand your concern. I'm not that desperate to rip somebody off for a whole $10 to $14 dollars worth of cigars. Ive been part of cigars swaps in the past some successful others not. Most recent was from a Yahoo group where the cigar package was up over 40 cigars 6 of which were mine that ended up missing and the person disappeared.

As far as reading all the post before participating in the game IMO is an unreasonable and nonsensical request. A year from now when there's 500 messages are you going to expect newbies to read everyone of those ? I've been a member of many forums over the years and have participated in my types of games/exchanges and know from experience that games evolve and rules change to improve the game. I was just tring to be respectful and ask a simple question so I could participate.

If its decided that I shouldn't be included in the game that's fine and I'll respect the desicion. I'll hang around for a while post and participate in what I can. If I find its a warm and welcoming forum and I learns things or can help somebody out I'll stay if not there's other places to have fun.

Being a newb... I expected the first post would contain all the info needed and any updates/changes that have occured. I figured out what was going on by it with no problems. I want to get involved with this but not right off the bat... I'll work my way up to it.

This way it's just not all the FOGs offering their .02.

I pm'd Chris (WOXOF) and told him if he was uncomfortable sending me out his 2 sticks I would understand and participate at a later date. I appologize for my ignorance on how this forum is run.

It's nice to see this pass gaining momentum again. I think we need some new interest in it.

But....

While there is no rule stating a post count minimum(yes I have read through the whole thing), I highly respect the opinions of Mauied, Newf, Drew, stjohnroe and a handfull of others on this board. Were you a little fast to jump in on a pass with only 4 posts, yes. Should we burn you at the stake for it, not yet at least.

I'm not too concerned that you will take the cigars and split, I'm more concerned about how it might affect the pass in the long term. Although not stated, this pass is generally for established members. Offering sticks up to every newb that comes along might not be a great idea.

Hang around and participate, soon you'll realize why the members reacted the way they did.

Dan, the sticks arrived today and they look damned good. It may take me a little while to review them as they are kind of large mother:smiley35:s (7.5" and 7") and the weather is a bit cold.

Thanks for the other sticks, in particular the 5 Vegas 'A', they seem to be all I hear about at the moment and and I am looking forward to trying one.

Anyway, bearing in mind the soon to be dramatic slow down in transatlanic shipping:

I got home late last night and a package from England was resting peacefully in my Coolidor (per my instructions to my daughter before leaving for Cuba).

So that being said:

Who wants to review these???

EDIT:

I may not get a chance to review the ones I got 'till the weekend so I'll write up the reviews then.

Jim,

Suffered a bit of confusion on packing and had to make my notes from memory. One of the review cigars was a little larger than the other, I think it was #2, is that right?

Yes, #2 was the larger one. I smoked them both last night and was just going to type out my notes for the reviews.

Had a wonderful time in Cuba for the most part. I'm doing a kind of a diary from the trip, rather than do a bunch of posts on different subjects, I'll combine it all into one long one.
