A good friend of mine and his wife (also a good friend) are expecting. Without getting too personal, they've been trying and we're all very excited for them. My buddy is the one that got me smoking cigars though I think I'm more hooked than he is now. Anyway... I understand babies can be expensive and that there probably won't be much money for cigars after the fact. So here is what I'm going to do:

I'm going to start a pass with about 20 cigars. I want to keep it small to about 5-6 people. I'm sure I'll be the one smoking with him most of the time during golf or at his house or what not, but I'm going to give him the cigars when the pass is over. This is my little way of saying "congratulations and I know you're screwed and never buying a cigar again, LOL." I might even want to save a couple of special ones for when his son is old enough.

I would like to keep this limited to regulars. Anyone under 100 posts needs a damn good reference. I'm still putting together the list of cigars for the pass but some of the names in the pass will be:

non-ISOM:
Padron
Excalibur
La Gloria
Onyx
Arturo Fuente
Opus
PAM
Padron 1926

ISOM:
h.upmann Royal Corona '98
montecristo no. 4
RyJ: no. 2
El Credito (This is the peso cigar from Cuba my uncle sent me. Not Exported)

I've learned a lot about generosity on this site. So, who wants to help me pay it forward?
 
Can I get in? You know I will join anything. I'm an activist. :D

I'm having a baby too! Sept 10. Where is my special box? :sign:

BTW. Your package went out today. I will find the DC when I get home tonight and PM you with it. :)
 
OK, looks like we have two so far, SD and Snakeeyezzes.

Congrats on the baby SD, maybe we'll congratulate you later. :)

I have the list ready:

1. Hoyo de Monterrey - Excalibur 1066 Merlin
2. Hoyo de Monterrey - Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight
3. Onyx Reserve - Churchill
4. Padron 3000 M
5. Puros Indios - No. 4
6. Romeo y Julieta - Reserve Maduro Robusto
7. Helix - X 550

9. Sabor Havana - Torpedo (from my local shop, you won't be disappointed)
10. Arturo Fuente - Don Carlos no.4

12. Opus X - Robusto
13. Padron Anniversario - principe
14. Padron Serie 1926 - no. 2 M

Wow RicMac. 1929 Padrons. Those are rare. Where on earth did you find them? :D :sign:
 
I can't tell if your being sarcastic or not, soooo, just in case:

The no.2's are from the box ParaGod, Captain B and Myself bought.

Then no. 6 I was lucky enough to find at the shop I go to.

I thought they were 1926. ???
 
And a good point you have my friend, LOL.

Must be my mathlexia kicking in, sorry. :(

It has been fixed.
 
You know I :love: ya! It wouldn't be the same if I couldn't give you a hard time. :)
 
I'd like to join the pass and misc and davewf can vouch for me. Hope you agree they're good references.
 
FT, of course you're welcome. We're up to three. SD, Snakeeyezzes, and FT.

Coventrycat86, background check in progress. Nothing personal, just covering my a$$.
 
OK we're up to four. Coventrycat your background check went through with flying colors, Dave said your good to go. Probably two more and we're starting this baby up.

For you veterans out there, is 21 cigars a good number for 6 people?
Do I need more cigars? more or less people? PLease let me know.
 
We now have 5, woo hoo! One more and that's it. I want to get this thing out before I leave for Cancun on Wednesday. If your info is not in your profiles please PM me.
 
Six, do we have six? We do now..... :D

Then back to me!

I'm preparing everything today. Should be out tomorrow in the AM.
 
Alright guys we're ready for lift off, WOO HOO!!!!!!

Can you tell I'm a little excited about my first pass?

Anyway...

All the cigars are packed.
*I threw a little bubblewrap in the tupperware to keep them from jiggling around, remove bubblewrap as you see fit.

*I also threw in a puck for a little humidity control, refill as you see fit.

*I ALSO threw in a little bag with 3 RyJ Puritos and 2 Cohiba Minis that my parents brought back last year when they went to Cuba. They haven't been taken care of in the best possible manner, but I figure someone might like them. These are giveaways to whoever wants them. Not a part of the pass. Take one, take them all, whatever you want.

*Puts/Takes list is included please keep record up to date.

*Please keep all puts in separate baggies and numbered accordingly.

*I included the pre-addressed labels but I know some of you use the e-postal thing, use whatever means you want.

Let's have a good time with this huh guys.
I really can't wait to see my buddies face when I give him this box.
