The Official World Wide Peace Pass of '08 Thread

[Taz]

I give up

[BigMacFU]

I know I made a mistake not seeing the wait for approval rules but I have participated in more then my far share of passes and have never used that rule and most of the ones I have done are very high end. Not saying the rule is wrong just missed it my bad...
Basil as for cred would you like to compare humidors I have know idea what you have but I would bet you would have a tough time comparing maybe not in quantity but in rarity and value. Yes I missed the rule but my trades were more then far. I will also bet unless you all try to prove a point the ones I put in will not be there at the end. So bigmacfu just take them put the values they have posted and you will be in great shape and enjoy some fine highly thought of smokes. I am use to Gentlemen groups and I can see that is not important here.

Taz,

I'm sure you have participated in all sorts of "gentlemenly" passes, but not here. That's almost as bad as referencing an ebay feedback score (almost because you may have cred from another board that a FOG here frequents and thus is willing to back you up).

Basil wasn't making any comment on whose humidor is bigger than whose, and for you to make such a comment is just a sad and arrogant thing. Basil was pointing out you were not following the rules and that MSRP doesn't equal on-line values nor does it match with rarity. He did say he wouldn't want to trade with you because you essentially broke a rule.

For you to respond like this, the "backhanded" high road, shows your altimeter is off, you've done nothing good in this response. You should have just apologized and left it at that. Furthermore, to insinuate I'm some kind of mooching or leeching ass and the only reason I want to attack you (which I didn't even do, just said "not a cool move") is so I can obtain your "oh so rare and expensive" cigars is just plain bullsh*t. As has been said many times on many boards, an "I'm sorry" followed by an "f@*# you!" is not much of an apology. I suggest you take some time to cool your pride while on vacation and realize this is just not how things are done on quality cigar boards.

Amen.
I didn't see an attack anywhere in the previous posts, and actually all the replies were confined to legitimate issue with the handling of the pass:
1. Value
2. sending prior to approve
Both issues were addressed straight up and without "insult", believe me, it could have been worse.

Basil said he won't trade/pass with you......I wouldn't either, if not because of your pass behaviour, your response that BigMac Fu quoted would seal the deal. I would venture to guess that there are more members than just me that feel this way now.

The pass host let you off on breaking the rule of sending prior to approval. The rules as listed in the first post sorta let you off on the value thingy "approximate value" is all that the rules state so I guess you get a lot of lee-way with the "approximate" qualifier.

Oh, and I bet your humidor kicks the shit out of mine.....

[basil]

I really don't give a flying fuck about not seeing the wait for approval rules.

but I have participated in more then my far

whoops! Spell check can only do so much for the illiterate.

share of passes and have never used that rule

probably because you don't read the fucking rules.

and most of the ones I have done are very high end. Not saying the rule is wrong just missed it my bad.

rules, schmules.

I posted the prices from doing a search on line I would be happy t post the links. I thought that is what was being asked of me. As for a couple of the prices questioned on the Anos Belicoso they ranged from 17-19 so In put 18.

Here, allow me: cien anos beli.

On the 55. You find one for $10 please share from where.

Ok, here, maybe here (you have to call for availability), and, here's MSRP & Avg. price paid.

They are harder to find then Opus X. They go up for Auction both private and on line and $30 would be low. I saw a box at the last private auction I was at go for a grand. Is it worth it to each there own.

If you paid $30 in the US for this cigar, you:

a) are an idiot
b) are incredibly naive
c) have a microscopic dick and you search desparately to find ways to compensate
d) all of the above

AS for the Cohiba I would post the links where I got the prices but we are not allowed would also like to know where I can get real ones for $15. I really thought people would appreciate some hard to get sticks go ahead try to find them in stock it wont be easy. Except for the Cohiba..

Found these for $15.26 per when buying 15, and cheaper for 25. They are real and they are in stock.

I guess what it is hard to believe how rude some of you are you do not have to worry about me getting involved in any passes our trades by the way Basil as for cred would you like to compare humidors I have know idea what you have but I would bet you would have a tough time comparing maybe not in quantity but in rarity and value. Yes I missed the rule but my trades were more then far. I will also bet unless you all try to prove a point the ones I put in will not be there at the end. So bigmacfu just take them put the values they have posted (!!!) and you will be in great shape and enjoy some fine highly thought of smokes. I am use to Gentlemen groups and I can see that is not important here. By the way what sticks did I take that were so hard to find or expensive. let me think oh yea known. So a problem that I missed a rule yes my bad, fairness or being attacked that is all on a few of you.

Wow. Translation:

I am a crybaby fucking piece of shit who can't spell, type, punctuate, read, or, fuck you name it, and everytime I think about being confronted I have a meltdown and do a chris crocker imitation of leave brittany alone and throw out a lot of red herrings and smokescreens, and other half-thought-out crap that is complete and utter bullshit and I think you are all stupid enough to buy it! Now, leave me alone!!!

Damn.

[Bassfever]

Holy Chit! I have some reading to do.

[Diesel Grinch]

Taz what other passes have you been in and on what bored?

[Cabaiguan Juan]

Holy Chit! I have some reading to do.

ditto, i'm gone for a week and shit hits the fan! People, call me when this happens!

[nhcigarfan]

He is allegedly on vacation.

[Bassfever]

Package arrived safely. I am going to trade 5 anejo's for the whole lot

I will try to get my picks tonight but it might have to wait till the drooling stops tomorrow.

[BigMacFU]

Excellent work. If you bought those Anejos on cigarbid and thus paid 100 for each one, that'll be fine, because that's clearly value for value.

Well fellas, I screwed up big time...I added an Anejo 55 to the pass and only took one cigar in exchange.
Bassfever, you're going to have to send me a 5er from the box to make up for it.

Oh ya, I also added the tupperware, so you should probably send me that 2005 GOF as well!

[cigarsarge]

I give up

Holy Shit...I've been too busy to keep up with this till now. He can't give up now.

Looks like I missed all the fun.
