    Default Who wants to do a Box Pass?

    Since Cocky took his ball and went home to CockyTalk it looks like he won't be doing his pass here. Any of you guys want to get in on a pass that starts with these cigars?

    Havanas:
    Punch PC del Punch
    San Cristobal El Principe
    Quintero Brevas
    Ramon Allones Small Club Corona
    Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robustos
    Cohiba Siglo IV
    H. Upmann Magnum 46
    Saint Luis Rey Serie A
    High End Domestics:
    Opus X Perfexcion #5
    Padron 1926 #1 Maduro
    Diamond Crown Maximus #4 Toro
    Medium Priced Domestics:
    La Gloria Cubana Churchill Maduro
    La Finca Joyas
    Onyx Reserve Belicoso #2
    CAO Mx2 Toro
    Arturo Fuente 858 Flor Fina Maduro
    El Rey del Mundo Robusta Larga
    Astral TVS Churchill
    Oliva Master Blend Torpedo
    Oliva "O" Maduro Oasis
    Carlos Torano Cameroon 1916 Robusto
    Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Gold Toro

    Post here if you're interested. I'd like to keep this to no more than ten people. Generally the rules are Havana for Havana, High End for a High End and Medium for Medium. Also please indicate if you think I should start with fewer Havanas and more Medium domestics

    Ah sorry, I revised the original post BUT in a case like that, you'd need to post your proposal and if there are no objections from the participants, it would probably be okay. Most of those Havanas I started with really are NOT that expensive so IMO an equally priced domestic is a fair exchange. When I get the final order set, I'll post an approximate value for each. For instance, those Quintero Brevas are less than $2.00, the RASCC, the Punch PC and the SC El Principe go for $5.00 each and the Sig IV is the most expensive at $11.00

    Interesting.

    Sorry you guys didn't hear from me, I was on my 1st part of my 4 weeks of out-of-town insanity.

    Im going out of town for the wedding wed morning. So I basically need to get it tuesday so I can make my plays and mail it wed.

    If it's not here tuesday, I can have a friend pick it up and basically reship it to the next addy, or I can have Swifty from CP take my place.

    Let me know, hopefully my wedding doesn't mess up this pass. But you guys have my word it won't sit on my doorstep!

    Marc - sorry - I read your schedule and figured I could "sneak" it in between other things. I hope I didn't mess you up... I mailed it Sat. morning priority mail, so I believe it will hit you by Tues. at the latest...

    Wow. this sounds like so much fun. I would love to get in on the next one. Although after reading all the Cigars you all are passing/give, I feel like a Newbie to cigars and I've been smoking for 4 years ROFL. I reconized 5 names so I don't know if I could do a good pass/give...

    I need to get out a smoke more!!!

    If she got it in the mail on Saturday, it should be to Marc by Monday. Definitely no later than Tuesday so I think we'll be all set with this.

    Damn, I guess I missed the post where It was heading my way. The runner comes up with a box for me and I was like, WTF did I order this time. Package was in very good shape and at first glance everything seemed in order.

    I'm leaving in the AM for the RTDA so I wont have time to get to this till probably Tuesday. But on the bright side I'll hopefully have some good play's when I get back.

    That M.C. #2 is simply calling my name.. You guys think an C. Espendido is a fair trade?

    Yeah, it's a fair trade for the PASS but not for you (the Monte #2 is $9.00 cigar a while the Cohiba Esplendido is a $20.00 cigar) therefore I will not discourage it at all even though I think yer nuts

    Next Tuesday or Wednesday is fine

    Ok, Finally getting to the point where I have time to work on the pass. Im a little concerned about the Esplendido. Teh band just doesnt look right (especially when compairing it to the other C's in the pass).

    Will anyone be offended by a Tribute 2004 Torpedo (~$11) for the M #2 (~9 per CC)?



    Let me go through the pass some and I'll have it ready by tommorrow.
