i''m still really new too, so i haven't participated (sp?) in a pass yet. but as i understand it, a list is made of people who want to participate in the pass. so, the first person in the list buts a bunch of cigars in box and sends them to the next person. that person takes some cigars out and replaces them with others (note: its not recommended to put crappy cigars in). he then sends it to the next person and it is repeated until it gets back to the first person. there is probably more to it, but this is what i've come to believe it is.

anyone can correct me on this.
