Ok... My noob 2 cents.
That being said, (the following statements may show my ignorance but...) I have seen in other passes where someone would double up on a take (2 for 1) in order to obtain what is wanted & insure fairness.
If the "taker" is willing to do this or put up a more valuable smoke, where is the harm as long as there not crap?
as thechenman just mentioned, this should ultimately have final approval from CJ, to ideally keep the banter to a minimum.
I've never seen a pass that allows 2 for 1, but ultimately I guess it's up to the pass host.
As far as "crap", that's where passes can get tricky. You and I may not consider the same cigars to be "crap". As a pass host there are times you get stuck with a crappy cigar in trade, but based upon price,rarity, etc the trade his complete even and fair. You can't approve puts/takes based upon what you like or don't like.
Banter is the fun part about passes. Fun banter, smart a$$ banter, friendly banter, making fun of Gary banter. My point was more to endless debate over nit picky things. Looking at every put and take and saying "well this off a quarter here". Look at puts/takes this way: If had cigar A would I trade it for cigar B. I know for many of you this is your first/second/third pass, so I understand why the need to understand and clarify. As you do more and more passes it becomes a gut feeling on puts/takes. You just look at them and know if it's right or not. I want all of you to get to that point, and I worry that endless debate and arguing over every single trade will make people think this isn't fun or worth the hassle. If you have a Flying Pig would you trade it with a buddy for a Padron 80th? What about the reverse? If your answer is yes, then there is your answer for the pass as well.
