Blind Box Pass Sign Up

Brenda,

The box usually can go USPS, UPS, or FedEx, depending on what's convenient for each person. I usually use USPS or UPS.

The box is large enough to handle the cigars in their baggies and envelopes, with packing to preserve the cigars during shipping.

Ok, here's the list of players so far:

Looks like we'll be under way early next week. If anyone else wants in let me know by the end of the week.

I'm looking at a minimum value for the cigar puts at $5.00. No maximum value. Any input from the players? PM me.

I'll post the starting line up of cigars Sunday.

Got you added Markus59.

Got RedLeg0811 added and I think we'll have to call it closed now. That gives us 15 stops along the trail.

Here are the pass guidelines. I took what cigarsmoka had set up on the first box pass and modified it to fit the blind selection of cigars.

1. I will stock the box with an initial inventory of 20 cigars. All cigars will be 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!
