Been a while, folks, so let's kick it off again.
Hopefully y'all know the drill, but here's a reminder

Rules from the last swap that seemed to work well enough:
Here are the dates:

• Need you to post your willingness to participate by 11:59PM on Friday, July 31st, 2021
• I will post assignments on August 2nd, 2021.
• Please try to organize and ship your assignments by Sunday, August 8th so they'll arrive by the next week.

Rules from my previous post:

• Sign up by 11:59PM on July 31st, 2021.
• Be willing to send 3-6 sticks, averaging $8-$12(?) per stick. Pretty sure I've always tried to send $40 to $50 in cigars, minimum.
• Look for your assignments on or by 8.2.2021.
• Contact your assignment for address and mail by 8.6.2021
• Post pics from the scenic area of your choice; backyards and barbecues are acceptable.
• Make people jealous of your score.

Additional options and notes:

• Avoid poor quality sticks for the sake of sending another large cigar. There's nothing wrong with smaller cigars that are of good quality and I think most folks would rather receive an Arturo Fuente Short Story or a NUB over a Swisher Sweet that's larger.
• If you feel so inclined, go big and get a $20 cigar with the understanding that the other two will be of 'lesser' quality, but still, please do not spend less than $8 on any one cigar as these tend to toe the poorer-quality line.
• Again, no reason to break the bank, but most passes cost, at minimum, $40 in cigars and $5 in shipping. You'll be getting your investment back, and it's all in good fun.

Happy Smoking and BTHO dove, deer, and football opponents.

Following just for the education on what qualifies as a good cigar.

Not gonna let this fall off Page Juan, but I'll stop bumping so frequently later in the week. Just want to make sure everyone has a chance to pass.

Bump.

Thought I responded... I'm freaking in.

If you know much about wine then you kind of have an idea about cigars. Different geographic areas have different flavors and then different levels of quality in each zone. As such, while Cubans have long been considered the gold standard, a really crappy Cuban will not be as good as a good solid, dominican. On top of that, flavors will change based on leaf selection, size/shape of the roll, etc. However, if you go with big names... Romeo y Julietta, CAO, Monte Cristo, etc, you'll at least be able to say that you're sending good stuff.

Im in

Traveling from the 28-5 but I will make contact with my person and keep them updated on getting it sent out

Does anyone know if AC is okay? Haven't seen him post lately, and he always seems down for a cigar pass.

Seems a little light so far...anyone else?

Bump for Monday

I'm sorry but whoever gets my sticks is gonna get one or two that are under $8. There a plenty of great quality smokes for less than $8.

I can throw you a couple extras but $8/stick hard rule is a bit much in my opinion.

I think the main thing is that is if it is under $8, make sure it isn't a dog rocket. If you send 5 great cigars.... average price is $8 and a couple are $6 each while a couple are $10, I don't think the majority here would complain. However, if you send 5 cigars... 3 being $8 and 3 being factory seconds.... yeah, might be a bit on the chintzy side.

Ball's in your court when it comes to deciding what's fair. These "rules" (loose term, they're more like guidelines) are a simple way for folks to have an idea of how to participate.

In the end, hopefully someone's gonna be happy smoking something. You do what you think would make somebody happy.

I always looked at the price suggestion to help keep it fair for everyone. If you don't have some kind of jumping off point some will buy all $10 sticks and some will buy all $5 sticks.

Also, I'll join in the cigar pass.

Please count me in.

Out of the net the last few days.

I'm in.

Not typically but I do like to send a decent mix and variety. That way if someone doesn't like a certain profile they don't have 5 sticks of it.

I'm in.

Last Call.
