The Ball and Chain Pass Offical Thread
As a reminder, I have called it the Ball and Chain pass because I am getting married on January 7th, 2006 to my wonderful fiance Michelle. We have 17 participants (including me), though George, Alex and Hale are having a three-way to combine and become Captain Planet. Again, if you are unsure of the rules, read the links.
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.
I am excited to see many BOTL's I have had the chance to interact with personally or via snail-mail joining the pass. I am also excited for the guys I have not had this chance with yet. Below is the final roster of participants (in pass order) and also cigars:

In the box will be pages with the original list of cigars, and the order of participants with addresses, spaces below each participant and address for their puts and takes. Since I used columns to save paper space, if you get confused on the order, double check back here. Once a participant is done, they cross out their own name. Puts and takes not only must be written on these pages, but posted on the board in this thread! After each put/take, I will update the initial post in this thread (this one) with the updated cigar list. If you have any questions about your puts and takes, get them approved by me and a panel of secret pop-celebrity judges. Seriously, if you're unsure, just ask. Finally, make sure when you post your put/takes you post the DC# for the next person in line. Every time the box is shipped, it must be done with a DC# and Priority Mail. If you are going to be out of town when a package is expected (priority shipping every time, so you know 2-3 days), let us know so we do not inadvertently send the package and have it sit in the PO for days. That's all for the rules and regulations.
This is going to be a great pass, glad to be a part of this guys. If guys like CC or Giese or others who have hosted passes have any suggestions, let me know.
