Hmmm....let's see. I believe those just might work! Awesome puts brother! Much appreciate the something special as well! You and Chico will do a hand-off I think Saturday, correct? Then Chico sends out to our brother in Hawaii on....Monday?

I'll get the list updated this evening when I'm back home. Thanks Geoff for playing and putting in some awesome sticks!

Scot - I see you drooling over there...cut it out... :laugh:

Edited to add funny

Hey, I am just hoping that the 'Puts' do not push the values above what I have in my humidor. I might have to toss some greenbacks in and just buy my sticks ???

 

[yanksfan]

[kiwifruit]

Very nice Geoff. As Greg said, we'll do a hand off at Geoff's shop.

Question though Geoff, will you be there at 9 am for the OSU vs Michigan game?

I've been procrastinating on the homework professor. I'll need some time to turn in my report.

It's OK! I've set the bar pretty low! People thought I was flaking.

One always thinks of his best humor after hitting the "Add Comment" button.

One could say that I'm busting the grading curve from the bottom.

That won't be acceptable. Cash is a bit hard for the next guy to trade for. Play within your means. If there is something in there that you want, and don't have the appropriate trade material for, you either need to let it go or head to your local (they prefer cash) and find an acceptable trade.

Not raggin on you, but this is a learning pass.

I think that is why many passes are value for value, and strongly discourage unequal trades. There is a good selection of pricepoints inside this trade, and if people start putting in $15 sticks while taking out $10 sticks, the last guys to receive the pass, newbies like myself, may not have the depth of sticks in their humidor to trade for anything in the box.

FOG's, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Tthis is a learning pass obviously with a variety of low to high end, and seems good to have this kind of variety IMO. I do agree however, that we don't want to go overboard with trading too many premiums for the non-premiums, keep it to where those further on can trade comfortably. There's stll plenty more smokes in the pass that are on the lower price end, so we should be just fine. If not, see mmburtch's post above .

Tsk tsk tsk. Chico staring out the window again. What are you looking at out there?

CHICO!!!!

CHICO!!!!

Drooling over Geoff's puts and daydreaming that I can trade for them. In fact, I volunteer to fix the abundance of high end sticks. There is plenty in my humi that definitely don't qualify as high end.








jk.

Yeah, I know, there will be plenty to trade for. I was just joking around about putting cash in the box.

For those of you who haven't read THIS THREAD you should. In it, many of the most experienced passers on this forum have weighed in on thisvery issue and others. You will notice that there are many and varied answers to this question. In the end, it comes down to the host and the participant in each individual trade. The purpose of a pass should not be for the host to "better" his lot by having a bunch of people upgrade his sticks. It does however often end up that way. The purpose then should be to have fun, get better acquainted with a group and get back a different selection than you might have picked up if you walked into your B&M and grabbed 30 odd sticks that looked good. I don't think anyone will get played out of this pass.

Wish I was looking out your window! Better then whats out of mine ....

This is a learning pass, and that's why we're here. mmburtch hits it on the head when he says that the purpose of a pass is not for the starter to "trade up" but nevertheless, what happens is sometimes a player will know the guy that started the pass and just wants to say "thank you" and so they'll drop a monster on him. There are members of this forum that have put smokes that no one can put adequately for, and then they encourage folks to "go ahead and enjoy". So, it's not something that happens every time, but it does happen.

No one should feel "bad" about an equal put and take. And, I'm with mmburtch on this; there's tremendous variety in there and I can't see anyone getting "played out" of this pass.

This pass has turned out to be a lot of fun, with a great bunch of guys, and a great learning experience for all. You guys are definitely asking the right questions..... :thumbs:

Let's have fun - B.B.S.

Agreed. No cash....just smokes.

Whew! I'm sure glad Tkoepp paid attention in geography class!! Seems the map was incorrect! I had Joshfbm and Keiths bassackards on there! I've now corrected the map and re-posted it. Please double-check to make sure I have everyone where they're supposed to be!

Thanks Tim for looking out for me!! Much appreciated!!
