[Gathering Interest] Cigar Box Pass (8 Viewers)

Holy crap. I was definitely not expecting to be first up! Can't wait to see what's available!!
And I can’t see what you add! I try to stay abreast of a lot of the market/industry but I’ll admit to seeking out a somewhat limited sample of things when I actual go to purchase things. I’m excited to see what all y’all come up with to contribute

Let's get this started!
 
I am about to pull the trigger on an order on Oxford just so I have something to share. lol I have a few dozen cigars in my humidor but it's limited to like 4-5 different sticks. Gotta get some variety!

I hear ya, I think I might even do the same just to initially seed this!
 
Very excited! Only going to take one or two. I've got some that I have to check the value on; don't want to short anyone but unsure of my discerning pallette lol.
I learned early on that there are some very quality cigars in the $5-10 range that are overlooked simply because of their msrp. Granted, there are a ton more misses in that area, but there are also misses in the luxury cigar price range.
 
That's a great idea. If @Irish was before or after me we could meet at the old JR CIGARS in Whippany - now it's Casa de Montecristo Cigar Lounge & Bar. Bought my first humidor there

Im really excited for this and thanks to @FestiveKnight for starting it and for all you that joined! I will be adding this to my first "PUT"
If you want it to be a surprise don't open the spoiler :p

Gathering interest for a Cigar Box Pass to take course over the remainder of the summer.

Some may be familiar with this concept already but here’s a summary: a selection of cigars will be shipped from member to member in a predetermined order. When you receive the box, you remove a number of sticks (“Pulls”) and replace them with new sticks of your choosing (“Puts”). All progress will be monitored in a dedicated thread so we can follow along as the selection of sticks change and talk about what all everyone pulls/puts.

Right now this thread is to gather interest. If we have a good number of participants we’ll get to the parameters, setting order, etc.

For now here’s a few straw-man requirements I’d like to suggest:
  1. Members must have Flush or higher (1K+) or must be strongly vouched for by another participating member or show proof of good standing and participation on another cigar forum.
  2. Sticks will be >= $12ea MSRP
  3. USA only
  4. No infused/flavored
Please post “IN” if you’re interested.

Many thanks for the thought. Been ultra busy with work, travel and life so been away for many months. Happy to be included in future endeavors, though!

My guess is there’ll be enough interest for more of these and we’d love to have you!
 
FYI, no one should try to use UPS. They don't allow shipping cigars unless you're a business. First time they asked I told them the truth and they refused so I went to USPS. It was cheaper any way, just not as convenient.

These are in a mailing box in a padded flat rate envelope shipped through USPS. While the sticks fit, that’s certainly the best way to move this thing. Usually the size of the box pass grows and so maybe it ends up in MFRB territory.

I shipped out 3 other packages of cigars in the exact same way at the same time as these and they arrived safe and sound Wednesday/Thursday so it’s not the packaging.
