BOTL's In Arms,
It seems as of late there has been an increase in the discussion of firearms, firearm safety, home defense, and firearm legislation here on the boards. After some brainstorming, it came to my attention that this would be a great pass theme. I brought it up with another BOTL, Gunsandcigars88, who shares with me in being an avid gun collector. After some conversing, I have asked him to be a co-sponsor of the pass.
Firearm collecting, safety, local and national proposed legislation, the NRA, and restoration provide a lot of different angles for discussion topics while the pass will travel among the participants. Also, with the pass I hope it can serve as a reference for those interested in purchasing a firearm, and it can provide insight to those who are thinking about becoming a gun owner.
This pass is open to anyone who has a minimum of one successful pass or trade under their belt, hasn’t had any recent fits of asshattery, lives in the US, and is the proud owner of a firearm. It’s first come, first serve for those who meet the requirements, and were not invited prior to the posting of the pass. All you have to do is provide some sort of knowledge of firearms, it's a huge plus if you are a firearm owner, meet the 3 month membership, live in the US, and 1 pass or trade requirements. The reason this is limited to US participants is due to the presence of ISOM's. Don't need the pass being confiscated. Since it is first come first serve, those who post the picture first will be accepted into the pass, this will go on until all spots are filled. Upon being accepted into the pass (your name is added to the list) pm me your Shipping information and telephone #’s.
I have submitted my dues to be a member of Cigarpass Insurance, we will wait for that to be noted before this hits the road; it’s always a good idea if you’re not a member, to mail in a few sticks and get yourselves insured as well. Better to play it safe, I’ve seen USPS manage to destroy the most protected packages. We won't be starting this until the last week of November, or very beginning of December. Though, it gives us all a little extra to do over the holidays. The cigar (Ammo) list that will begin the pass is finished and up to date.
The rules are standard:
1) CP member in good standing with 1 successful pass or trade, 3 months’ time on the boards, and
live in the US. (Because of the presence of ISOMS)
2) Be willing to discuss firearms, without causing a flame war (This is meant to be educational!)
3) Equal puts for Equal Takes…that means Value for value, rarity for rarity, ISOM for ISOM, etc. (Any
concerns may be pmed before you post your P/T’s)
4) Upon receiving please inspect the pass and make sure the humidity is fine, and nothing is
damaged or missing. If there is an issue, please post it in the pass and make all participants aware.
5) Post P/T’s as soon as you can so they can be reviewed and approved (Use CigarCyclopedia.com
for pricing and value information, links below). Please fill out the papers with the pass, noting
which cigars you took…and what you put for them. Use the correct numbers!!! Be sure to label all
of your puts with numbers! Do not ship without approval!
6) Unlimited amount of P/T’s, after all, we have to make this worth everyone’s while.
7) If at all possible, try to prevent putting a double into the pass…if the cigar you were going to use
as a put is already in there, try to find another suitable put. Everyone deserves to have the same
variety to choose from that you did.
8) Before Shipping make sure to contact the next person on the list and make sure they are ready to
receive. Always ship with a tracking number and post it in the thread notifying the members that
the pass is on the road! Handoffs are allowed and encouraged, especially if it is during a shooting
outing that passers were able to organize!

*Note*: the best way to get an average MSRP is to add 3 or 4 box prices (Highest, Lowest, and some in the middle) from different retailers, average them, and then divide the average by how many cigars are in the box.
