update
Nine participants at this time ( provided that a statement of interest means you wish to participate)
If I have the nine correct, that leaves five slots open.
At this time we have:
Tall paul
Blinded by Science
Modo 22
Cultured hick
2KTBSS
CMontoya79
Gavin
JVEl 79
JoeBunaga
If I need to make additions or deletions to that please let me know.
Anyone wishing to have one of the remaining five slots please indicate so by posting to this thread.
At the current rate the pass will probably be a go and I am hopeful that it will fill up.
I am uncertain of protocol, but consider this thread to be a proposal and will open a new thread with the pass name for header.
The pass will be named "Send Lawyers, Guns and Money"
Hat tip to Jonesy for the inspiration for the name
Rules are going to be very simple.
Tentative rules
Must meet the CigarPass requirement of 4 months activity, and would prefer all pass members to have two purchase/trade/Transactions successfully completed with other CP members. In the event that someone shows interest but does not meet the requirement of two transactions they can request to be a part of and will be considered. The absolute minimum requirement is the same as for a newbie pass, the CP criteria and one successful purchase/trade/ transaction with another CP member.
Cigars to be less than 50 RG.
Equal for equal, rare for rare, I am not concerned as to whether there is any distinction as to which island or country of origin that the cigars come from.
I also have little desire to rule on puts and takes, figuring that the participants will know more about it than I do and seem to be the sort that will readily open their mouth if something isn't right. If need be, I will gladly and unhesitatingly make any final decision.
Follow the basic rules here
http://www.cigarpass.com/rules-of-a-pass/
"Side pot" for donation to veterans, 50 and above RG exclusion does not apply. Each person donating to veterans please put in $1:00 in addition to cigars and the 14th person in the pass to pull the side pot out, rebox as needed and mail to a destination to be decided on by the pass participants. The 14th person in the pass will be decided by geographical location and the order of the pass.
I have five finger bags ordered, but yet to come in and have additional cigars to come in to add to the list.
Am proceeding with the check lists, and gathering materials for the pass.
ETA - I have edited this post several times to clean up the rules, there will be no further edits to this post.
