Rules:
Sticks must be replaced by roughly the same monetary value you take. You can take up to 5 sticks. It does not have to be 1 for 1 on puts and takes. Use some sense when taking sticks, for example do not take a padron 1926 and replace it with 3 padron 2000s. Cuban for Cuban ONLY!

DO NOT WIND THE CAMERAS AFTER YOU TAKE YOUR PIC!! If people wind the cameras we will get a bunch of pics of the inside of the box and people will be left out at the end of the pass for taking their pics.
There will be two cameras each labeled according to the pics to be taken with them. With one camera you will take a creative picture of the box itself. The pics will be voted on by forum users at the end of the pass and the winner for the best pic will be awarded a prize. The second camera will be for taking a pic of yourself so that we can put faces to names. You don't have to take a pic of yourself if you don't want to.

Keep the pass moving, package it well to protect sticks and everything else that should be commen sense in keeping the pass working. Tracking numbers and $300 insurance are REQUIRED and should be posted in this topic for all of us to keep track of the box. Takes and Puts should also be listed because thats all the fun.

following are a list of the sticks and the order of the pass.
 
Out of curiosity, how do we determine the cost of each stick to be sure we are trading out fairly?

Sounds good. I will probably compare the single prices on cigar.com to get a general idea and then post it here so everyone can make sure I didn't screw up. I've never really paid much attention to prices per smoke because I almost always buy by the box.

If you can't find a cigar on cigar.com's page, be sure to check out http://www.top25cigar.com
Aside from listing MSRP they also list the average price paid.



Nice starting lineup Bildo!
 
by the way the prize will be a 15 count cigar caddy
Maybe i will even put sticks in it :dunno:
:wink:
 
Great looking line-up Bildo. I don't see any sticks worthy of my aged Black and Milds though :cry: So I guess I will keep them for myself :lol:
 
Bildo do you have a list of who is in? I am really looking forward to this one. Sounds like a blast. For any newbies, make sure you read the rules. I think they were posted on an earlier post. :D
 
Could someone please direct me to the post with the box pass rules?? Ryan

Here are the rules again
 
I hope I get the box AFTER Deacon!!! hehehe. That is an awesome assortment!
 
I just realized the beauty of a Box Pass.......they are very good for those that have a love for cigars but may not be able to afford some of the super premiums or premiums. Call me an ol softy but i get a kick out of seeing people faces when thery light up a super premium or Cubano for the first time or in a long time. I try my very best to share the very best, whether others feel that way or not. I am not wealtky by any means (other than good friends) but i live by the law of the circle.....what goes around comes around. I hope no one is offended by my remark about some people that do not have the means to afford an exspensive puro i mean no harm at all. After this box pass is over with maybe myself and a volunteer can start another box pass with some samplers from various differant cigar sites and have some more fun with that one.

~~ PEACE AND BE WELL ~~
MAY YOUR TASTE BUDS DO THE HAPPY DANCE FOR EVER AND A DAY!
