Well as I recall Cobsgirl was leaving for some sort of training for work and Ando was leaving for an unknown amount of time for some mission training. So even though some did not participate it was with notice and for good reason.
Though I am still a little dissapointed with the outcome. Judging by the list of prospective newcomers I don't think we'll have those problems but then I didn't think that the first time either. Just remember, the list is reciprocal, if you don't give, you won't receive.
This all sounds great, and thanks Dean for steppin up. For all of us new guys, could someone post the rules for the Birthday List, so everyone is on the same page. This will allow us to meet the expectation of the List. Thanks, gary
Rule #1: In order to receive cigars on your birthday you must participate and send cigars to others on their birthday.
Rule #2: See rule #1
As a guideline, I might suggest a package of 3 cigars (+/-) of decent quality. The object is not to break the bank but to recognize someone's birthday with a nice little gift. If you happen to know what they prefer from the PIF or trades, you might taylor the package to their preferences. There are no questions asked about preferences so someone may receive a wide variety of sizes and strengths of cigars.
