Uber premium pass.........In Transit

Would anyone be interested in an uber premium pass? I was thinking today of all the uber premiums I want to try but can't shell out the cash so I think a pass like this would give BORKS a good opportunity to try that one brand that they have been dying to try.

Due to the investment needed to start a pass like this I would like to limit it to folks with +200 posts unless you guys think thats unfair.

Its hard to put a price limit on a pass like this because the MSRP is varried but I think in general we should be looking at $20 plus sticks.

I like what sirfoster has done with his pass and allowed everyone to record their takes and puts on the forum because it adds a element of suspense waiting to see if the stick you have your eye on lasts till your turn. If you guys want to participate just shoot me a PM and I'll make a list. Listed below are the sticks I was thinking of starting the pass with.

Opus X
GOF
Strativarious (3)
Camacho PE (2)
Partagas Serie No 4
MOW Armada
AF Shark

Here is the pass list in geographic clockwise order. Let me know if there are issues.

RaschNuts:
the ones i think i will have available to throw in are Ashton VSG, Armada, and ESG if it qualifies. the Opus i have only got 2 saving for special occasion

Any of those listed IMO would certainly be the types of sticks for the pass...

xmacro

I got 2 Camacho PE's that I'm looking to trade; dunno if they qualify or not

cabinetmaker

No problem, I would bet that this thing finished up in Feb.

Ok, there is an updated list on the first page. The list is pretty small but with all the variation in the brands like anjeo and opus I think this should work just fine. Let me know if you want other stick on that list.

zeebra

I call dibs on Gurkha HMR!! lol.

AF Work of Art maduro
AF Between The Lines

sirfoster83

The Cank

Diamondog

Add me please... also Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Edicion de Aniversario should added I believe...also imo the cheaper Davidoff sticks should be ruled out...maybe La Aurora 100 Anos considered?

t_evan50

Seems like I skipped half a page. Edited.

Yes, I think thats fair. Actually, I think most people will be limited by the sticks they have to contribute but a 3 stick max is a good rule to stick with.

Goldy I think the 200 post is a good standard but there is no mention of good traders list in the 1st post. This is a must with this pass because of the price tag on these sticks. Looking through the list already no one stood out as no on the list but it should be in the rules IMO.

Jetmech_63

I nominate the AF Casa Fuente, Ashton ESG, Partagas 160 and Partagas Decadas for consideration.

Also i leave for the ship for a 6 weeker mid January so if it's cool with the rest of the people on the list could i be one of the first ones to get the pass por favor?

I agree; with a pass like this, there's always the chance a few sticks could go missing along the way. Maybe have a requirement that whenever someone receives the box, they post what was in it when they send it out, along with a picture after they had taken what they wanted?

Diamondog

Padron Family Reserve I think should be added...

Goldy

Ok, this thing is hereby closed and will be going out this week. I need addresses from Zeebra and Kingjk then I can make an order.

PM to you sir

Though I have been around a while, this is my time participating in a pass of this type... Can someone break down how this actually works...

is it basically just a high end PIF or is there more order?

Pretty much a PIF, but with only sticks on the list on page one. We will post what we are taking and putting back in, I'm not sure if it has to be approved or not, but I think it will be. For example, you cannot take a Padron Family Reserve and put in a Gurkha Centurian... I'm sure they the rules will all be up on page one.

So we all ship our sticks to Goldy and he sends a big box to whoever is next on the list... so when I get the box, I pick 3 sticks I want and add 3 more that are on the list and send it on?

No. The stick will come to you, just like a pass. Goldy is starting the pass with the sticks he listed and he will get the last pass as well. 3 is the max of takes allowed.
