500 post cigar and accessory pass

So it's taken me quite a few years since I'm more of a reader than a poster but I'm about to reach 500 posts, doesn't seem like much in comparison to most but for me it's a bit of a milestone.

So I've come up with an idea for a pass, if you're anything like me in your time in this hobby you've probably accumulated a few cigar related items some could be tools for smoking others maybe just cigar swag that you've gotten from events. And again if you're anything like me you probably don't use half of it and maybe you have something someone else could use or would want and maybe they have something you'd like.

So my idea for this pass is I start it off with something like 15 or so cigars from a few high end to some everyday smokes and 2 or 3 cigar related items something like a cutter, a lighter and a hat.

When the pass reaches you, you take 3-5 cigars and replace them with the same amount of cigars, then you can also take an item and replace it with another item. I'd like to see everyone in the pass participate in both aspects of it but if there really isn't an item you want or need you can skip it, but again I'd really like to see everyone take something.

So anyhow thats my idea, let me know what you guys think and if you're interested.

    I like the idea. Makes me realize I need to go to some events so I get swag. Btw twins in having an event on nov. 1st in Londonderry. It's San Cristobal

    Thehilk and cigarman you guys are in, this may be a very short and easy pass by the looks of it haha.

    I'd like to join. Give it more time for people to notice your idea. Maybe even a week or so. Keep posting pics of your accesseries and sticks you want to start the pass with. That will get people thinking about joining. My concerns would be how heavy this package might get, and shipping lighters. Are there any restrictions on shipping lighters?

    I like this pass. I am in , if you will have me.
  • danielruasdanielruas Posts: 778
    Bob and tyland you guys are in. I think we can keep the package fairly light by avoiding putting anything too big or heavy into it and as long as everyone takes something there won't be more than a couple accessories in there. And yes all lighters should be emptied before they're shipped.

    I'd like to get in on this if I can, my first thought was I don't have any swag but as I look around that's not exactly true, I also thought about the potential weight but as long as someone doesn't toss in a couple of large ashtrays it should be okay.

    You're definitely in brother!

    Any other interest in this? I'd like to get 5-7 more people in before I ship it out.

    Here's a look at what I was thinking about including in on the pass, I will probably add a bit more cigars in for variety. Just some of my favorites, the opus is a 1992 rare estate reserve, the 5 vegas has about 4+ years on it and most of the others have a couple years at least, and the only rocky patel I like haha.photo null_zpsf7ac22ac.jpg

    I like the looks of it so far :)

    Maybe I'll also post a pic of the accessories I will be adding.
  • Bob_LukenBob_Luken Posts: 10,711 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Here's a bit of swag I was able to dig up. I'll be considering exchanging these in the pass. It's a two finger leather cigar case that came with a humidor gift pack. A "firebird" nascar "spoiler" single flame lighter (Brand new in the box, I've never had fuel in it and the spark works). A San Cristbal shot glass that I got at a San Cristobal event at one of my B&Ms and a spare humidor key in case anyone has locked themselves out of their humidor LOL.

    Pass was handed off to thehilk tonight, He's heading out on vacation sunday so I gave him the ok to ship it when he gets back, I'm not in a rush and this gives some time if anyone else wants to jump in before it gets moving.
