ORIGINAL POST: The theme of this pass is speed. Keep the pass moving fast. You essentially pledge to ship the pass back out the day after it reaches you, while still providing pictures of your takes and puts.
If you can actually get it back on the road the same day you receive it, even better, you're a hero.
If you move too slow, we'll treat you like a wet dog at a parlor social.
Nothing too fancy. Basic ccom merchandise. You must be on the good traders list and have a minimum of 100 posts.
I DO NOT expect or want anyone to use "next day" or even "2nd day" shipping or anything above what we normally use. Just so long as you post a tracking number.
It's not about how fast the post office ships it. It's about how fast you can get the package back on the road to the next guy in the pass.

The pass is closed.
EDIT: (Pass Rules review again because I forgot some stuff I should have mentioned in the beginning)
Take 3 or 4 cigars from the pass and put an equal number from your supply back.
Post pics of your takes and puts.
Since I'm posting a picture of the pass as it began from me to Tony, all you'll need to do is post pictures of your takes and puts.
Seriously, I don't need any extra cigars so don't go crazy with the puts.
And post your tracking numbers promptly.
If you have any problems or questions let me know.

Big Bob, count me in. I like the challenge
-
OK I have one who's willing.
-
It will go pretty quick with one person.
-
Forgot to mention restrictions. Participants must be on the good traders list and have a minimum of 100 posts.
-
I'm neighbors with my local PO (literally), so I'm sure I can make this happen. Count me in! Any chance I could go first???

Baaahahaha!ddubridge:It will go pretty quick with one person. -
Sorry, I think I should have made something clear. I DO NOT expect or want anyone to ship "next day" priority or anything above what we normally use. Just so long as there's a tracking number that you can post. It's not about how fast the post office ships it. It's about how fast you can get the package back on the road to the next guy in the pass.

So. Does my idea for this pass really suck? You can tell me.
-
I think its a really cool idea actually, I just don't have enough confidence to say I can get to a PO next day, lots of days I go into work before they open and leave after they close, if not I would totally have participated.
-
Yeah, maybe it was too demanding. After all, cigars are supposed to relax us.
-
Doesn't sound too crazy... I'll play if you'll have me.
-
Cool. Thanks. I've still only got three besides me. Maybe I'll wait a bit longer to see if any others want to get in.

I will Definitely put you first in lineSleevePlz:I'm neighbors with my local PO (literally), so I'm sure I can make this happen. Count me in! Any chance I could go first??? -
Cool, thanks, I appreciate it. I'd like to get this started right! Come on guys, most of you end up shipping passes the next day without any prodding (as it should be). Let's take this opportunity to blow the crap out of Michael. Who's with me?!Bob Luken:

WTF? Blow the crap outta me? Naw that ain't the object of the game. Hey! Just thought of something. If we had enough participants to split into two teams we could race to see which pass goes fastest.
-
Okay count me in, The local Po has a Kiosk and I need to blow up something!

I heard a rumor that Michael has a couple of Unused Humi's laying around!SleevePlz:

Need your addys for the Pass.
If everyone's willing, PM me all your addy's and I can coordinate the forwarding of addresses and be better able to adjust to any glitches or unexpected changes in pass order later on down the line.
If you won't send me your addy, then you alone are responsible for getting the address of the guy that comes after you and also sending your addy to the guy that will be shipping to you.

Since the theme is "Pony Express",optimize the package route so that it travels faster and for shorter intervals. The USPS doesn't need any help shipping slowly and the longer it's in their system, the more likely it is that they'll bungle something.
