OK few questions, if they been asked, sorry in advanced.
The $40 dollar gift part, can part of it be none cigar related? *ie gift cards, movies etc? Or shirts,hats related to cigars etc??? I am not on the good traders list as of yet I do not think anyway, but have done some trades.
If so I am down, as I have to keep orders from online to a minimum or fear of my wife freaking out lol.
The 40 is for a gift of some sort not cigars. Any pain in the way of ciagrs is up to you is how I am interpreting the rules. please correct me if I am wrong fellas.

thats about right. the "main" gift will be in the spirit of $40 so a lighter, a cutter, hats, shirts, etc... then on top of that, cigars will be included. the recommendation is 3-5 cigars, however in the past everyone all of a sudden forgets how to count. 6-12 (many of them super high end premium) seems to be the norm.

Wow. Awesome. I am going to totally destroy one of these brothers. Some poor brother better get his affairs in order. Its almost "Showtime".
on a side note... i think next year i will have to make it a slightly more exclusive club. 25 posts is kinda low, but its too late to change it now. if i run it next year i will up it a bit more so we can have a group of people that most of us have seen around. some of the guys that signed up i have never seen. I do know that part of the issue is that this forum is getting huge, but at the same time its very difficult to trust people you have never seen on the boards.
again i would like to stress to those who have never taken part in the holiday pass that this is a big one.
if i remember correctly i gifted out about $120+ in cigars alone plus the gift. i dont see this year being any different. ... and i was one of people that sent out one of the "smaller" gifts.
with trades of this magnitude, you can see why i have some hesitation and want it to be a more difficult pass to be a part of.
i know what the rules are, i mean, i made them. and i knwo that the rules say 3-5 cigars as the cigar part of the gift, i just want people to be aware of the culture here on ccom.
i am also trying to decide if this is a big deal or not. i dont want people to be disappointed.

Yeah, I was the one who recieved your package last year, was truely awesome. I know the noobs wont let the vets down, great bunch of guys. I agree with upping the post count next year, something to be said about adding into the forum.
Kuzi thank you, your doing a hell of a job this year!
Thanks for the info (it is helpful to those who haven't done this exchange before), I don't want to send out a bomb to later find out someone is disappointed.

love the spirit guys.

I really view this as more of a giving opportunity as I'm sure other's do too. If I don't receive what is, in my opinion, an equal "gift" than so be it....as long as whoever receives my gift is delighted by it (and I'll make sure they are!). Thanks a ton for putting all this together Kuzi, I'm truly excited to participate...HO HO HO!!

There it is boys! There is going to be so much GD Pain given out this year, I can feel it in my bones.
I agree with AJ as it is a giving opportunity. And even though I cant speak for all noobs I can say for myself I look at it as an opportunity to impress a vet (if thats who i get) and have alot of fun while doing it. And I think just by the generosity we have been shown here on the forums that we have a glimpse into the culture of the people here. You can even ask my brother (BigT) ever since I joined this forum every time I think about buying a cigar deal online im always asking do you think this would make for a good pass or bomb candidate lol I think that culture is whats drawing people here. That being said I do understand the skepticism but I would go out on a limb and say nobody including vets want to be the guy that let anyone down! We all want to send the package that everyone says OMG oh no he didnt! And lastly I would say the newer guys dont want to let the people who "sponsored" them down we want to make them proud or atleast I do! SO long story short dont worry we may be noobs but we can roll with the punches!
Yes I am just happy to send something out, I hope by all means it is seen as a nice gift.
+1 Exactly!
With me, finances have gotten even tighter and I'm having to cut back on everything; going to the b&m, smoking, darned near NO buying anything for myself, and very very few trades (postage stacks up when you are as tight as I am right now) etc etc. That being said, to help relieve some of the temptation, I have decided to send out around 2/3rds of my entire stash and it has already started. Gave away a crap load to the troops, made my recent bombs or trades that much heavier, and am saving up the rest to just load down my xmas gifts this year. All said and done, gone from over 400 sticks to by the end of the holiday season less than 100. Just trying to give back as much as I can, all the kindness and generosity that every brother on here has shown me. Thanks to EVERYONE involved, and thanks a ton Kuzi for shouldering this giant task!!
This is by far my fav pass of the year because I often get requests for unique items that require some research which for me is the fun part. Its also fun to bomb someone back to the stone age under the cover of "santa".
