Puro Pot Pass IV!!!

[TachyCoventry]

So after a discussion with Mangy it looks like I'll host PPP4 with his help! I've copied these rules (with revisions from PPP3) from the PPP3 thread originally posted by mrtr33. Want a little history? Ok the original ishere, the second one is here and the most recent one is 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 second 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. Also as revised in PPP3 I'll receive last as long as no one objects to that!

The Order - I was going to go with geography but couldn't figure out where "Sittin' in the back room" was in comparison to "Bitterville" so I used a random list generator. If you have objections to this please let me know...

[MrPlatypus]

May I play? My signature could use a little color.

[Mangyrat]

I'm in.

mrtr33's comment: "Make me proud, Daigz!"

I just noticed this and started cracking up... You're killing me with his comments




On a more serious note:

I had some time and posted up the order! It was randomly generated by a website. You can see my reason for it in the OP. Looks like Mr. Platypus will be getting his naked puro first and chance for a lovely prize pack and sig tag! PM me your address.

Little new here.. Am I late to play? Would be interested.

You've been added to the list, please make sure that you keep up the communication and get your puro smoked and your packages out in a timely manner!

[mrtr33]

Thanks for picking this up, Daigz. It's a lot of fun. I'd like to play, but I have no address, and no time frame of when I'll be where. We'll see in a month or so.

[Mangyrat]

Plat - You will have a package shortly.

DC#: 0309 3220 0000 4552 9109

When you receive the sticks please smoke the naked puro in a timely manner. Just to reiterate from the original post; you need to describe the smoke and the reasons for the country that you have chosen. I will then let you know if you are correct or not and will provide you with a sig tag accordingly!

Enjoy!!!!

[badwhale]

Good, good....let the trash talking begin!!!!

If you have objections to this please let me know...

I am a little concerned about my spot in the order... can we add to the rules that the puro must be 100% tobacco - no "extracurricular" ingredients?

I am going to be shaving my beard soon, and I'm sure I can get some wrapper leaf from the good state of south new bittervilleyorkvania...

If you have trouble with the wrapper, I may know someone who has some distinctively unique leaf laying around.

Yeah, but that won't be a puro. Can't have filler and binder from south new bittervillieyorkvania, and a wrapper from west sittin'inthebackroomington-alina
