For the box pass, post your takes and puts here. It's all singles, try to keep the ones with no cello in its own bag.

This sounds great to me. Count me in.

If you are thinking blind box there is a place that does them in many forms. Be it completely blind by price or by brand.
I just did 3 separate buys. Padron for $109, DTT for $49, & Tat for $49. The return was well more then the cost and was almost all premiums. If you want more info and a list of what was received for the $$$ shoot me a message.

I think what I’m gathering is don’t be selfish and grab 2 of the 5 of good shtuff If they’s a 5 of limited edition super duper premium Grab 1.

Also grab one of the other variant of super duper nice shtuff

I have no clue buddy I think cheno is just saying let’s be civilized gentleman. (Which I’m not but I can act right)

Either way I like this kinda shtuff

More like take a few leave a few. Don't take more than one of the same cigar if there are multiples.

In the past there is often a "window of approval" where the takes and puts are subject to review before sending on to the next recipient. This works to keep exchanges on par with each other. Rare out, rare in, etc.

Yes! This is what I mean, if there are 5 of the same cigars, only take 1 of that specific cigar. Of course you can take multiple cigars just as long as it's not all the same exact cigar so someone else can get to try something special too!

I'm in as long as I can taste test the cigars before choosing.

Also in because it would be poor form to run a round 2 on the other pass, and Tele will be stuck with his initiator bag. Definitely not a strictly prohibited host bag tho

I love that cigar rest. But to be honest, I remove the chin guard and use the double prong mounting studs to hold the cigar nub. It works perfectly and I get few ashes in my chin hair even without the chin guard. I recommend using it this way.

Yeah, I used my holder when I was in N.C., and it was perfect. I usually just improvise and grab a couple of sticks or something else jerrymandered and put the cigar on them. The holder was perfect and perfectly portable.

Yup, lotta choices. When I opened the box, it looked like an infinite amount of seegars! Bags and bags of good lookin’ cigars! Glad I’mma retired ‘cause trying to figure out what to take and what to put in is gonna take a concerted effort.

Great job in making this pass so interesting! Applause

Picked out some cigars and ran the Takes and possible Puts with Captain Greg. Got the tentative approval but still gotta locate where all of the cigars are, I’ll post up for everyone’s review.

When we did major renovations to our house in 2016, we rented a storage space. Afterwards we downsized and I brought 4 coolers home but still have my Fuentes there. Also have enough overflow to warrant another cooler but with the constant temperature at the facility, no need for it.

Going down to our locker today. Mebbe pull a few more seegars.

I normally don’t call people out and seriously didn’t want to say this but when I opened up the box, there wasn’t a Host Bag! OMG! Obviously Greg forgot to put one in. Need to fix that…. Whistle

There is no room for a host bag in there, I checked and it just wouldn't fit. The box is too full.

You’re partially right but even with the finger bags for Robert, I figured out a way to rearrange / repack the box to give it a little more room. Mind you, not a whole lot but enough for me to start something. Like a snowball rolling downhill, my small contribution will (hopefully) grow as the pass moves along.
