The Blind Box Pass is ready to get under way.

Sign up is closed. We have 16 participants.

The Pass Rules:

1. I have stocked the box with an initial inventory of 20 cigars. All cigars are in individual sealed envelopes.
2. Each player may take from the box up to 5 cigars of his/her choice by blind selection and will be expected to replace the "takes" with an equal number of "puts" as a minimum.
3. Minimum value of cigars to be put is $5.00. No maximum value is set. Use prices on cigar.com as a guide and ask if in doubt.
4. Post your “takes” in the pass thread on the forum. Don’t post your “puts”, leave them a mystery for the rest of the passers.
5. Please do NOT under any circumstances add flavored or artificially aromatic cigars to the box (NO LARS, NO ACIDS, NO HAVANA HONEYS, ETC.)
6. If your puts are not in cellophane, please wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in an individual bag to protect them before placing in envelopes.
7. Each cigar put is to be placed in an individual envelope and sealed. Extra envelopes will be in the box. Envelopes are to be placed into large zippy bags with a water pillow, sealed, and packed in box for shipment.
8. If necessary, please replace the outer shipping box before sending the box to the next player. If humidification seems to be a problem, please address it before sending the box on.
9. Use your best judgment when shipping the package. Since they are cigars, USPS Priority, FedEx, or UPS, 2 to 3 day delivery, insure it for a minimum of $300, and be sure to get a tracking number and post it in the pass thread.
10. I will include a list of the players and addresses in the order they are to receive the box. I'll post the order of pass when the box is ready to start its first leg.
11. We're relying on every player to be fair and to avoid unnecessary delays in completing the circuit.

I'm doing this in good faith. Everyone here seems to be stand up characters so hopefully we'll keep the streak of successful box passes going. Let's have some fun with it!

How many times will the box go around?
I think that twice would be good.
 
I'm up for a multi-pass - but I'm sure it will depend on how it all looks when it gets back to Dean.

Also, is the list of addresses in the box? It may also be a good idea to PM each person involved with either the whole list, or at least the address of the person they will be sending it to...

I'm really excited even though it will be a little while before it gets to me...
 
Dbrad4d, did you get a count on the envelopes in the box? That way no one can peek before sellecting their takes. Fifth on the list! I like being in the first half! I like the single pass myself...but I'm up for either way.
 
Any chance this can be stickied up with the previous pass?
 
Hey cool I am first.

Just tell me when it is suppose to get to my place so I can be on the look out for it.

Thanks for putting the box pass together.

The box is on it's way to RedLeg0811 via priority mail. I would assume that it should make it by Saturday since Friday is a holiday.

I'm no geography whiz but this should be, roughly, the longest leg of the pass. I tried to organize the hops geographically in a circuit around the country to keep the travel intervals as short as possible.
 
Ok, The wife will have to get it as I will be chasing Mr. elk this weekend. SO far i have only sean Mrs elk and baby spike. I will try and make my pics Monday or Tuesday then ship them off.

Ok the box came, but no one was home to sign for it. I will get the box tonight and make my picks.

Got to go as I have to catch up from last week since I was off last Friday and will be again this Friday.

BTW, never knew that quote was Longfellow.
