A Pass 33 1/3

I think a theme is good. Though I don't have much of a selection when it comes to many lines, and those I do have I only have 2 or so sticks. Also maybe I missed it but how is this thing going to work, a theme based on the person giving out the sticks? Or just a theme based on how many passes? Also I'm with 5-7 sticks.

I vote for it being themed. I like the same blender (or two different say Padron and Fuente ten each), say give two options for size robusto or toro, but ease up on the certain wrapper. I'm for the 20 cigar pass, 5-7 takes and puts.

Cool I'm liking the ideas so far. Once we narrow down the type of theme i.e. maker, we'll get into specifics of which maker or wrapper etc.

What do you guys think about the extras for the troops?

I don't think that even needs a vote, its a given.

A theme pass sounds good. My vote goes for a maker duel. My suggestion is the R.P./Gurkha debate. (Just a lil idea based on some forum discussions) As for numbers, I say it should start with 15-20 sticks and each person can trade out 3-5 sticks. As for the sticks for the troops, not a bad idea and as the host you can do what you want with the extra sticks from the box so I think this is a non issue.

Ah ha I like this duel idea idea hmmm, maybe something like if you take out a Gurkha you must put in a RP?

I like the theme and I like the country route. Say Nicaragua...Olivas, Nubs, Patrons...not bad company. A wrapper theme would also be interesting. So there is my $.02. And of course I am down for troop donations.

I like where this is heading. I do like the four different line idea. I'm always down for giving to the troops!

I'm down...time to be part of a pass!

Scrambler

I'm in. I'm sure whatever the theme is, I can find enought stock to play. If not, an excuse to visit the B&M isn't exactly unwelcome.

urbino

I'll play.

Bad Andy

I'm in...let's pick Juan Valdez as the blender.

Little known fact: his burro decides which leaves are ready to pick.

If this is gonna be a coffee pass you might need to find another originator. I've never even looked at a coffee bean up close.

By the way Andy you are going to be second to last in this pass so you can collect all the cigars for the troops. I'll send mine with the start of the pass.

Bad Andy

yeah that will work for me. There may be a need for a larger box after a while.

So what's the time frame for this one? Start right away....or maybe start after X mas? I'm sure the post office will be a mess from now until christmas. Maybe we should start right after the 25th?

New years box pass. Start off 2009 the right way.

Thats the deal. It'll ship out on the second. Would be the first but no post men on the first.

rdnstn

Alright, count me in and let us know the blender and lines that this is happening with so we can prepare.
