The Ball and Chain Pass

**BigMacFU** · 10-12-2005, 02:08 PM

Alright guys, here it comes, Cigarsmokers.com next box pass. I have called it the Ball and Chain pass because I am getting married on January 7th, 2006 to my wonderful fiance Michelle. In honor of this, I want to do a pass. This pass is a MEDIUM-HIGH END PASS, I repeat, a MEDIUM-HIGH END PASS. I am looking for 15 participants, all who must have trading history, whether it be PIF, Trades, Newbie Sampler, Box Splits, whatever. In order to get in on this pass, you must read the links below if you have never participated in a Box Pass.

About a Cigar Pass
Rules of a Cigar Pass

The basic premise is, equal takes to equal puts, rapid turn around, and consistent/constant communication.

If you feel you are capable of these things then come one, come 15. To give you an idea of the types of cigars that will be in the pass to start here is a teaser (final list to be posted once participants are accounted for): Opus X, Padron 1926, La Aurora Preferido 100 Años, ISOM's, La Casa Grande Reserve (local cigar shop premium). In other words, cigars of a value of 8 dollars and up. To avoid what happened to CigarSarge via ReaganYouth, do not get in on this pass if you currently do not have any medium to high end smokes. Do this if in your humidor are medium-high end cigars already.

I would like to extend personal invitations to some BOTL's who have been good to me such as: Ggiese, CoventryCat, CigarSarge, Jaewing, GTPHale, Gran Cru No. 2, AlexGTP, Mithril, Diesel and of course our Board host Hex. If I am forgetting any other BOTL's that have indulged me before, I apologize, I personally invite the forgotten too

So it begins...

Participants:
BigMacFU (Host)
CigarSarge

I'm game if it's okay with you guys. I obviously don't have any trading history, but am willing to send penalty smokes if I screw up. How 'bout it?

Where's Godfather?

**BigMacFU** · 10-12-2005, 11:30 PM

Good question, he's been on today.

**godfather** · 10-13-2005, 01:35 AM

I just read the rules...I'm definitely in!

Looking forward to trying/contributing some new smokes and being a part of a good group of people.

Big thanks to BigMacFu for stepping up to the plate to get one of these going.

Hey Brother,

My current stash of high end sticks is low. Low in the case of the ones I can use for a pass. Plenty of brothers have treated me very well but those are mine.

I going to have to pass on the pass.

I wish you the best on the upcoming wedding.
