If everyone thinks we can sneak it in before the holidays, I'm game to run it. I in no way want it to interfere with Secret Santa though.
EDIT TO ADD RULES AND PARTICIPANTS:
Cigar Draft VII
The Godfathers of Cigar Drafts ricmac25 & gatorsmg at Cigar Snobs came up with this idea and I want to run with it here.
This is a pass of sorts but done in a fantasy football draft style.
# of participants
You just need to be a CigarSmokers member in good standing. I will allow as many people who what to play join!
# of sticks to play
5 sticks. Lets make this one $4 and up sticks. If you have any question about a stick post it and if no one says anything with in two days then it's good to go. Check and compare prices Here to get an idea of what your smoke is worth.
How it will work
Everyone playing will submit 5 sticks to the draft. These sticks should be posted in the draft thread (Please wait two days before sending sticks for review. If no one says anything then mail away.).
All sticks will be mailed to me along with $4.80 ,cash is fine, (?$ for our Canada BOTL's. Books are heavy. I would need to look into this.) to help with my shipping costs back to each participant. Once all sticks have been received I will post a list of all cigars in the draft. We will make our selections just as in a fantasy football draft ie: if there are five players each player chooses any one stick per turn in this order 1,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,1 etc. I will put all of the participants names in a hat and draw them one at a time, the 1st drawn being first to pick in the draft and so on. After each selection is made it will be posted in the thread and the next person will make their selection.
******We will set some sort of time limit on this so it doesn't take forever to complete our draft. Once everyone has selected their 5 sticks and the draft is completed I will mail each player their selections.****** Participants will have 3 hours from the previous selection to make their pick, except between the hours of 11 PM and 7 AM CST. If no pick is made in that time frame, the selection will be moved to the end of the draft and be made from the sticks remaining after all others have made their 5 selections. If multiple members miss picks.....I'll have a fuckin' aneurysm first, then they will be placed in the order of the picks missed to make their remaining selections. If you don't understand this, don't worry, neither do I really, but can assure you it will be as fair as possible.******* added 102309
So it's basically a pass but instead of taking your turn and then seeing something you would have liked to try pop up later when it's too late you get to see ALL of the possibilities up front. Of course the hard part is deciding which sticks are a "priority for you".
