Gauging interest for a pass idea.

This type of pass may have been done before but I'd like to propose this idea and see if there is any interest in it. So, I'll just ask and find out if there's enough who want to have a go at it.

Here's the idea. A Bargain Hunter Pass. I have purchased cigars from the sprint sale and other auctions by the box and by the bundle and I often get great deals on good cigars for less than $3 a stick. I realize that some low dollar sticks are considered dog rockets but as long as you LIKE them and think they are worth recommending and they were bought for less than $3, please share with us your favorite budget smokes. Any interest?

I think it's a great idea. There are plenty I would like to try, but I'm scared. I've purchased bundles like that to see if I like them. This would be a cheaper way of trying those yard gars without forking over the $20 for a mazo.

Sounds like a good idea for some of the newer guys who may not have a humi full of premipremi's

I like the idea. I have some that I really enjoy with a little age and a couple fingers of bourbon

If it turns out we have only a handful of guys interested we can each list a menu of our bargain sticks and we can pick out the ones each of us wants to try and turn it into a trade-pass type of thing. I'll see how many more guys want to get on board before I make that call.

I could probably get in this simple thingy , but can't post list till back from Thailand.

Sounds like just my kinda meat. A good example might be the Aurora 1495s now on weekend blitz, sixrty bucks for twenty five. Not all bargains are bad by a long shot. Keep me in the loop.

Yes. Well said. That's exactly what I hope this pass is about. I got a box of those. In fact I'm proud to include those Aurora 1495s with any bomb because they're good. And as a bonus they don't cost a bunch. Hopefully I can expose a BOTL to a great value.

Bob, I would be down for this as money doesn't always equal a good cigar. I too have been hesitant in the past about dropping $30 on a bundle and not liking them. If you're okay with a cigar that's just a tad more expensive going back in, sign me up.

My pass, my rules. But I can't stop you from breakin' 'em. LOL. Just kidding. I'd love to have input on the price point as well. If some of you think it should be a tad bit higher than three dollars I'm open to suggestions. This pass idea is very much open for discussion.

I don't keep track of the prices of whats in the humi, but I have an idea of the sub 4-5 dollar price range sticks. As long as no one is offended if I put a $4 cigar back in the pass if the sticks I have are already in there, I would be fine. Most of us probably shop on the sprint sale, so we might have a lot of the same inventory.
