Since there have been quite a few of you that have inquired about another Newbie pass this year, I've decided to start one up since things have seemed to settled down quite a bit for me. This pass is open to those that haven't been in a pass yet or only have one under their belts. We will be learning about rarity, HTF's, pass etiquette, equal puts and takes, and quite a few other things that pop up during the course of a regular pass. This is a learning pass so I expect all questions and everyone's puts and takes to be posted in this thread and not pm'ed directly to me. I'm not trying to embarrass anyone by making their question public or by leaving their P/T's out for scrutiny....one man's question may answer the same question that 5 others have. Our main goal is to learn how to successfully take a pass, inventory it, inspect it, package it, and to have fun while doing it. Hopefully one of the main components of this pass is you come away with a few new friends. I will be re-posting the cigar list and rules over the weekend and hopefully this will go out Monday morning. I have set the participant list at 10 instead of my normal 15 due to the onset of the summer heat. The pass WILL start on the west coast and work it's way east. I took the participants in order that they posted the other day.

Pass Thread
Be sure you check frequently to make sure when you are due up. Make sure you're ready for the pass and let me know if you need to be shifted. To make things go a little smoother, it is recommended that you check the list and post your P/T prior to receiving the pass. This will give you a head start towards getting that box back out the door. ALL P/T WILL BE POSTED ON THE THREAD. NO PMs.

Pass Arrival
Upon opening the pass, inventory all contents and inspect all sticks. The last thing you want is to be blamed for a damaged stick because you didn't inspect thoroughly. Do not take the cigars out of their baggies! Make sure each cigar that is listed on the sheet, is in the pass box. Always double check against what I have here on this main page also. Packaging is of utmost importance. You want to make sure that once you put the cigars into the tuuperdore, there is no movement. Also, after you've put the tupperdore back in the box and secured the foam around it, give it a slight shake to make sure there is no movement from inside the main pass box. There will be a folder inside with the cigar list and everyone's info.

Shipping

CP Shipping Hints(link)

Now you're ready to ship. Post on the board ensuring the next on the list is ready. Inside the same folder as before you will find a sheet of paper with everyones address. Shoot a PM his way and verify the address you have.
Next, ensure that all cigars are in their own individual baggies and in its proper gallon bag. Make sure the tupperdore is humidified properly and close the box up. After closing, make sure there is no movement inside the box.

Cigarcyclopedia
Rarity for Rarity and MSRP for MSRP. Since there are no ISOMs in this we don't have to worry about that. The site above is something I like to use as a reference tool in determining MSRP.
 
Looking forward to learning the art of the pass and winning all 3 contests :whistling: (yeah, right)
 
I can't wait for this to begin!

I came back to research the smokes on the list and the entire thread was gone! I am just glad that the server is back up and we are still on track with this.

Brian, thanks again for doing this and for remembering who the participants are!
 
Dam,always a day late!!! :angry: You fellas have fun tho.Maybe next time. :thumbs:
 
I went out and picked up some White Owls today to prepare for this pass. I just hope I'm before SD to make sure there in there for him to take..
 
Thanks Brian, everyone can see how much I really DONT know. :laugh:


Thanks for the pass Brian and I will readily admit I don't know much of anything, but look forward to learning. "I'm happier than a tornado in a trailer park."-Mater
 
Now for the first contest. Since I kinda came up with a lame pass name that's what it will be. Whoever comes up with the best name for our pass will get a nice 5'er from me. Open to participants only and it needs to be in by Sunday night. I'll have a respected BOTL pick the winner.
