Looking to get this out next weekend.
Most likely on the 10th of Feb.

Here is the order of the pass.

kaspera79 - something came up, keeping his name on list in case he can make it.
danielruas - MIA. Will put back if he shows up.
Echambers - on it's way


Rules of the pass.
Each person will take one box and put one box. Use USPS Priority boxes to keep them all the same, so as to keep it even.
No messing with the other boxes. LOL!
All boxes will have at least 4 cigars and an accessory (What ever you choose and will fit) or 5 cigars.
If you put an accessory in, it mustn't be a high dollar accessory.
There are many, many nice accessories for less than $20.
You do NOT need to put an accessory in if you choose not to.
Try and pack them well, to prevent folks from "shaking" to see what's in them. ROFL!

The idea of the pass is baseline cigars.
Ones that you think folks would like to try, but haven't. Or cigars that are a reasonable cost, but available to you, but may not be available to others.
For newer guys to cigars, if you have a question whether something you are considering sending is baseline, then PM Tony (SleevePlz) or myself and we can let you know. But personally, I feel if you like it, then it's acceptable. LOL!

No one expects you to put premiprems in. If you choose to, that is up to you. If you choose not to, that is up to you.

I'll put it this way. Recently I received a cigar that was not a premiprem, but it was one that I wanted to try, but hadn't gotten to getting one. I was excited to get it.

No indications as to who is sending or what is in the box is allowed.
This is a totally blind pass.

If you are concerned that you will get less than you put, you might want to consider bowing out.
No one will fault you for it.

If there is a delay on getting the package picked up or sent back out, let us know. I think everyone understands that life happens, but please be considerate of the others in the pass and shoot a text, email or make a post of the delay.

The original package will be sent out by me, with a mixture of cigars supplied by me and SleevePlz.
This should give a fairly good variety of packages and hopefully up the ante. LOL!

If anyone needs/wants to bow out, I totally understand.
If you can think of a change to the rules or something, let us know.

    Just to be clear... it is a bunch of little boxes, packed into a large box? I don't have to pick one box, repack it, and then send 10 little flat rates, do I? lol!

    Good deal! 5 sticks for me, I have a severe lack of accessories that are wort sending to someone.

    Edit: I almost want to put the box in the cooler, and wait till the pass is over to open it

    One large box, with small flat rates inside,. Take a box, pack a box, replace the one you took...mail off big box.

    Smaller flat rate boxes in one medium flat rate box.
    Pick a box, put your box and ship it out.
    I still have to get the boxes, so I am not certain whether it will be 5 smaller boxes or 6 smaller boxes.
    We'll see what fits.
    Plus I'm waiting on a cigar order to show up.

    Question: After each person sends the pass on to the next person, should they post a pic of their take here on this thread? Might be fun to keep track of the progress and see who got what along the way.

    Is it too late to get in on this? I figure if I am on the end of the list, I should be home well before it gets to me; I should be landing backc stateside around the first of March. If not, no worries, I'll try and jump in on the next one. Its not like there are a shortage of passes around here, lol.

    I'll add you to the list.

    Gonna be delayed a day. Most likely get it out Tuesday.
    The weather here isn't cooperating very well.
    I wasn't able to get the boxes and stuff last week, like I hoped and now have to wait til Monday to grab them and get it boxed up.

    My apologies everyone. The snow created some unforeseen hazards here.
    But the overtime helps a lot. LOL!

    Good think I always grab some boxes, when I'm at the PO

    Ok guys.
    I went to the post office and in order to fit more than 4 flat rate boxes, we'd have to go with a large flat rate box for $17.45 shipping. Screw that.
    So now I am looking for a box that will hold all 6 boxes and be reasonable to ship.
    Stay tuned. Same bat time, same bat channel.

    Instead of boxes why don't we go with the flat rated padded envelopes?

    That would probably work just fine, since they'll all be protected inside another box. Good idea!

    Going out tomorrow.
    Need Perkinke's addy.

    There are 6 small flat rate boxes.
    5 cigars per box, with a few exceptions of 4 cigars and an accessory.
    Take one box, put one box.
    I apologize for not putting the list in the box, but the printer ran out of ink and it's freaking $24 for the ink cartridge.

    Anyway, here is the box. As soon as I get perkinke's addy, I'll get it out.

    PM replied. I"ll try and remember to print the list and put it in when it gets to me.
  • 0patience0patience Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 3,767
    Out to Perkinke.

    9114901159815628789578

    Should be there tomorrow.
    It cost me $7.35 to ship, so hopefully it will be reasonable for everyone else.

    holy crap. USPS is walking the freakin package to Corvallis.
    I could have walked there and back by now. I guess priority is 3 days no matter where you are?

    yeah, got to me today but not until after the PO closed so it'll get back on the road Tuesday.

    No worries on that. I just was getting concerned that USPS was taking 3 days to get it to you.
    A 3 hour drive shouldn't take 3 days. LOL!
