    I would love to get in on the second pass. I may have a friend that would be interested too. I will get him to join up.

    Being new to the cigar world, I was wondering if it would be possible to have the values of the cigars posted in the box for newbies? Not being familiar with many cigars out there, I don't want to short change anyone and it will save some time so I (we) don't have to research the values of the cigars removed. Just an idea.

    But yes, please count me in.

    Great suggestion Puff.

    I too am new and would like to add that to the list if we can. If so the "puts" would have a value column as well. This would make it really easy for all of us rookies

    Most definetly a great sugestion on the prices. When it gets started there should be a spread sheet made like I did on the last one that has the cigar#, cigar, put by, taken by and price colums. The taken cigar # and the cigar should be crossed out and the put cigar then takes the # of the one taken.

    As far as Canadian players go it would be ok if when the list is made that whoever is infront of our canadian BOLT is ok with picking up the extra shipping cost.

    Sure thing. Someone on here is from Holland. That might be too far, but Canada should work.

    shipping isnt too much more, and if it is, I will pay the differance, or "put" an extra in:) Uhm, I know I'll be putting in premium's for the most part. They are simple to get. Would there be a problem? [edited by cockyhoskins]

    Not a bad idea and Oblik has already mentioned adding a column to the P/T sheet but the way most people do it is to use the prices offered for a particular cigar from the large on-line internet retailers like:

    CigarsInternational
    Famous-Smoke
    JRCigars
    etc......

    As far as Cuban cigars go, the best to do in that regard is to use the price list that is put out by the Spanish government since Cuban cigar prices are controlled by the government and that price list is fair because it's not fair to say "I put a Cohiba Esplendido that's worth $41.43 because that's what it cost from a vendor in the UK"

    As I have mentioned, I do not want the trade/buying/selling of ISOM's to be discussed on this board. I'm not saying they can not be included in a pass, but it's up to the organizer(s) and members to get things straight via an alternate method of communication.

    It's really for everyone’s benefit for us not to publicly announce that someone has these in their possession to begin with.

    Having them in your possession is not illegal, using US Dollars to purchase them is. If people are going to do passes around here that include Cuban cigars, how can we NOT talk and/or post about them?

    Not according to this article on the US customs website: http://www.customs.gov/xp/cgov/trave...ban_cigars.xml. The basic gist of the article follows:

    It is also illegal for U.S. persons to buy, sell, trade, or otherwise engage in transactions involving illegally-imported Cuban cigars. The penalties for doing so include, in addition to confiscation of the cigars, civil fines of up to $55,000 per violation and in appropriate cases, criminal prosecution which may result in higher fines and/or imprisonment
    I copied the article and linked to it on the policy thread: http://www.cigarsmokers.com/t494-off...an-cigars.html
