holiday Pass

since phobic has unforeseen business to attend to i will run the holiday pass again. everyone who wants to participate in the secret santa style pass for the holiday season should sign up here!

send me your name and address (via PM) and i will redistribute the wealth, i mean, names to everyone. the name you get is the name that you will send a cigar related package to. Included in your PM to sign up should be the following:
your name and address
a short list of things (cigar related accessories) you want. ( lighters, ashtrays, etc...)
a short list of things you DONT want. (i dont need another cutter i already have 3)
your preference on cigars
the price limit will be in the spirit of $30.00. This $30 is for the "main" gift. any cigars are on top of that. the limit on cigars will be the same as a PIF (3-5) minus the rule that you dont send out super premium. you are welcome to send out any cigar you chose. (no crap though, of course).

RULES you must have 25+ posts AND be in good standing as a trader.
you must sign up before Thanksgiving.
the names will be distributed either that night or early the next day.
Gifts can start going out on December 7th. and must be sent by Dec 19th
dont buy things that people dont want (duh)
Put a return address on the box but not your real name or forum name.
return Addy should be "Ccom Holiday Pass" or "Ccom Secret Santa" or something of the like.
after you have sent me the PM, post here that you signed up so we can all see who is participating

i hope that takes care of it all. If there are any issues or questions please post them here. If the rules change I will go back and edit this post so that all of the rules are in the first post and easy to find.

lets have some fun!

I got everything sent out today. I'm pretty excited to see if my BOTL likes his gifts. When it comes to the holidays I'm usually a little bit of a Grinch. This was really fun because not only did I get to do some research on the internet but also went to my local B&Ms and "shopped" around. I think what made it fun was that I actually liked what I was buying for him. I need to get my family into smoking cigars. It would make the holidays more enjoyable. Happy Holidays yall!!!!

I'm stoked my target asked for a "decent" version of what I bought him. I found a good deal on the latest and best version online. I hope he enjoys it! I'm jealous of my own gift lol.

That sounds oddly similar to something that happened around this time last year... Smile [:)]

Mailing mine out soon, finishing up today....I must say after looking at the final send out Im thinking a bit...."hmmm, perhaps I should send this to myself."

betasynn

Mine goes out tomorrow; the post office flooded on friday when I tried, so it's been somewhat delayed, but I'm pretty stokked to send this one out.

My package arrived yesterday. Color me happy. I got just what I asked for. A Xikar Xi2 cutter. I also got 7 sticks that look great, only one of which I have tried before. Thank you Santa.

Thewelder

Mine will be going out in the next day or two, just need to pick up some stogies

Jdorais

My secret santa package is all set and ready to ship. Will be going out today....and yes.... I wish I was shipping it to me! Merry Christmas!

I finaly got mine out today. I work the oposite shift of the post office here, so I gotta stay up half the day to get there! but I finaly sent it!

Matt Marvel

I received mine today. Whoever you are, THANK YOU! I'm most excited about the Xikar Executive lighter, this thing is sweet, and I really needed a new one! I received six cigars in all, and I've only had two of them. One of them is a Nording! I was VERY happy to find that in there. There's a few that I'm not familiar with at all, but that's not a bad thing. Discovering something new is great. The most amazing thing about this package was that my cigars came safely packed in a travel herf! I could probably fit at least ten medium-small sized sticks, possibly even more. Again, thank you! This was an amazing gift!

I'll be sending mine out by the end of the week. I wish I could've had it out already, but things have been a bit hectic lately, and I've had a lot of purchases to make Christmas wise. I'm still not completely finished.

Vulchor

Got mine today, the 2nd part-----1st was last week. I am however a purist (probably from my whacky mother) and insist on opening all gifts on XMas Eve. Evening..so to whomever---Thanks in advance. BTW, Santa Kuzi-----when do we reveal to each person who was the secret santa or when do we guess or whatever?

Yeah, I've had one Nording in my day, which is why I'm excited! That's my Christmas Day smoke for sure!

I just got blown away. When I sent Kuzi my wants/don't wants, I put ashtray or cutter as a want. OR being the operative word. Apparently he didn't pass that on to my Santa, because he sent an ashtray (a very cool 5 Vegas Limitada ashtray) AND a Xikar Xi2 cutter. On top of that, he sent 5 of my favorite cigars (RP Connecticut, 5 Vegas Cask Strength II, Oliva V, Cain F, Gurkha Shaggy) and one I didn't even know existed buy am super stoked about now (Casa Magna Oscuro). I know there isn't supposed to be any retaliation for these packs, but it is gonna be hard not to bomb the sh1t out of him when I find out who it was, lol. Really man, whoever you are, you have my heartfelt thanks, I was having a really crappy day and this brightened it up quite a bit. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Just read through all of this and I am so disappointed I couldn't afford to participate. All of you guys are some seriously generous, good guys. Lots of fun and I am looking forward to being in a better position next year so I can play. Very nice gifts fellas. I hope you all enjoy them well and have a Merry Christmas!

Vulchor

Merry Christmas to you too Snake...I hope things look up real soon my man. I have sent my Santa btw, waiting for any word on the receiver.

Vulchor

Got my holiday pass which contained 7 awesome sticks MOW Monster, R&J Veij box press, RP Decade torp, Nica Libre, 2 Gurkhas (gotta look em up cause I never smoked these before), and one of my favs Camacho Pre Embargo!!!! Oh and a very sexy Nat Sherman ash tray! Thank you Santa!!!

Hey guys, as an update, my grandfather was hospitalized and died last week, so I've been a bit busy, and consequently had to leave school earlier. Therefore, I will not receive my secret santa gift until January 3rd. Sorry for any inconvenience. My gift still went out on time though!

Goldy

Sorry to hear that Beta.
