Make a wish is the inverse of the Pay it Forward. Here is how this works:
1) person A says I would like to try these cigars: x,y,z..."
person B (who has that cigar in his humi) says I will give you that cigar.
III) person B sends person A three of those cigars to try.
4) person B now gets to wish for a cigar to try.
Thats the cool part. Unfortunately this will have to have many more regulations than the PIF thread.
First: dont wish for OpusX, La Aurora Preferidos, or other very high end cigars. We arent trying to break the other guys bank. We are just trying to try some new cigars here. Use some judgment, and if there is a question on if the cigar is too high end the forum at large will decide.
EDIT 9-10-12: this rule is here because of the rule further down about getting three of the cigar. the entire point of this thread is to have a good shake at a cigar you have not had before. one cigar does not give it a fair shake. three does. if i wish for LAdC Mi Amor, i should get 3 of them to give it a fair shot in case one is a dud.
Second: no Cubans. Not only is this an illegal thing that you shouldnt be flaunting (who knows who is watching the board) but they are also hard to come by and sometimes very expensive.
Third: The granter must send At least three of the cigars on the list. more is always welcomed but more is never expected.
if you chose to send cigars that are not on the list, please only send cigars that you feel the person will like.
Fourth: dont ask for a specific shape. Beggars cant be choosers.
and finally... all people wishing for cigars must have had their package received by the previous wisher before wishing. this will be kept track of on this thread.
I guess thats all as far as rules go. Should other rules be needed they will be instated as we go.
UPDATE:
Alien (outside USA): If the package (granted wish) does not reach the wisher within THREE weeks AND the wish granter during that time goes inactive on this forum, then the wisher gets another wish.
in either case if the time frames are exceeded, and the wish granter is still active on the forum, both parties must agree that the wish granter can then go ahead and make a wish. The better standings you have with the Forum at large, the more chance you have to make a wish, should this situation come about.

Lets hope this thread works. and awaaaaaay we go!
I would love to try the cigar.com Brazilian Label.
I know, I know, out of all the hype it got here youd think I woulda had some already but Ive blown my cigar budget for the last three months on a few other purchases.
as far as "getting it rolling"...
I expect that this will run a bit slower than the PIF so at some point if nobody is getiing hits on the cigars they are looking to tryin a few weeks then tey can change it up to keep it moving. ... you know, just a thought.
I would also like to add that I like that final rule. I think it keeps everyone honest that way. So I will send Kuzi his MAW and then when he posts that he received them, I will make my wish.
rdnstn: MAKE A WISH!!!!
Can anyone grant my wish?
Wish Granted. I just got a box of them.
I don't have 25 posts quite yet, but since the rules for this thread say I don't make my wish 'til you get your package, I think it'll work.
Send me a PM with your address.
Since this is your game, do you mind if I jump in as a newbie?
lol, not quite unfortunately. But there were some things I've been really wanting to try like the CAO Black or the 5 Vegas line and I just got some of those to try. I'm sure there are plenty more interesting cigars to wish for though.
