New Year's Great Deal Pass ~ COMPLETE!!!

We all enjoy getting a great deal when purchasing cigars and we all know that there are WAY TOO MANY great cigar deals offered to jump on every one (despite our best efforts). I want to create a pass where we can share our great deals with each other.
I've filled a box with 18 very nice cigars from my humidor(s). Each of these cigars I truly enjoy and was able to get them for a great deal (relatively). I'm sure many of you have humidors filled the same way. This pass will provide an opportunity to take advantage of someone else's great deal in exchange for your own.
Here's what I'm thinking:
1. An even stick for stick swap with a limit of 4 sticks taken for 4 sticks given.
2. Each stick given must be of equal or greater caliber to the stick taken (as opposed to giving back two to make up for the difference).
3. MSRP is not the quality judge since we're sharing our Great Deals. Do your best to consider the cigars your fellow BORK's down the mailing list will be receiving. Any questions can be addressed in the thread or via pm.
4. This is not the crap pass. The cigars I've put in the box are high quality premium cigars.
5. Obviously you should be on the Good Traders list.
6. If people are interested in this pm me with your address and I'll put together a geographically efficient pass order.
So...what do you think? Wanna get this pass going and share our Great Deals with each other?
additional edits:
1. Please keep the packing on this pass tidy. No naked sticks. If you have a naked stick you wish to add please re-use an old cello or rob one from a similar sized stick in your humi that won't be doing any traveling.
2. Please no Gurkha or Rocky Patel. While you and many others may love them many on here do not.
3. Please don't include sticks that are always inexpensive (for example: GH 2002, Pinar del Rio, etc. etc). While these are good cigars they can be obtained cheaply seven days a week. This pass is looking for your best cigars you scored a deal on.
4. Please update the thread with your takes but not your puts (so the pass remains a surprise) and the tracking/confirmation number as it flies to the next person.

Still, good advice and with winter setting in I'll put some of my beads in the pass instead of humi packs.
Yes, quite correct. I love Diesels very much, great cigar, but they are what I would consider an everyday good value. You can call up and get them any day of the week for $3 or $3.50/each.
Hey Oz, my thought behind excluding Rocky and Gurkha is simpe: enough people dislike them that they may be disappointed when they receive the pass and open the box only to discover several of the choices are RP or Gurkha. Also, their pricing and sales promotions are so all over the place it makes it difficult to agree on their value. These two points, taken together, make it much easier just to exclude them.
I love Diesels but as I stated above they are an everyday attainable value, sorta like LHC OF. Great cigars but this pass is an opportunity to share our more exciting deals and scores.
One man's thought of a great deal and quality will definitely differ from another man's thoughts. I don't want to be overly strict but I do want to make sure all the BOTL will be completely psyched with the cigars they are presented with.
I get it.....
I'm leaving the fairness of the exchanges up to you guys. A little risky but I think we are all capable of taking care of each other. If anyone has a question about their takes and puts during their turn please feel free to give me a pm.
