Intro:
People say NC's are just as good as CC's. I say:
- some NC's are better than most CC's;
- some CC's are better than almost all NC's;
- some of those CC's may be in this pass; and
- some of the CC's in this pass are worse than most NC's - but you won't know which is which until you smoke them, so why care?

Pass starting line-up:
Notes and table in Word and PDF formats.
Table only attached as jpg.

Puts/takes:
There are five groups of cigars:
a. Under $4;
b. $4 to under $10;
c. $10 to under $14;
d. $14 to under $20; and
e. around $50.
Put/take one or none within each group. (Ergo, max. 5 takes.)
Put/take NC's for CC's, CC's for CC's, CC's for NC's, or NC's for CC's; it doesn't matter
Grouping is by the price that you actually paid, excluding local/state/provincial taxes.

Smoke-now Review Contest:
I simplified this. Smoke a cigar in the pass, or one of your puts. Post a review.

Watch-now Video Contest:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLNW2s6XmlE . Please watch it, and then please post your answers to the question, "What has changed?"

Pass shipping:
Pass order is by unfair coin flip, and won't be bouncing back and forth between countries.
Please c.c. PM me tracking numbers. All shipping must have tracking (DC).
Every pass participant is solely responsible for replacement pass $ value until the next participant either:
a) posts reception (so past DC); or
b) signs confirmation at delivery.
