OK this pass starts with a poll first. Then this post will be updated to reflect rules and participants.
I believe this will be themed pass. First I would like your vote Yes or No to the Pass being themed.
Second if you say Yes to themed, then I want your vote on what the theme should be. All cigars from one blender (i.e. Don Pepin), from one country, with a certain wrapper, a certain vitola, a certain brand or a certain factory? Or if you have a different suggestion throw that out here too.
Third and final, for now, how big should the pass be? 5 cigars with each person taking 2 or 3, 10 cigars with each person taking 3-5, or 20 cigars with each person taking 5-7?
One last idea I've been kicking around on this one too is that this pass instead of throwing in extra sticks for me for hosting the pass the extra sticks will go to Bad Andy for his next troop shipment.

When you say you are with 5-7 sticks, you mean the pass box should contain 20 total cigars and each individual is trading out 5 - 7 cigars correct?
I vote for it being themed. I like the same blender (or two different say Padron and Fuente ten each), say give two options for size robusto or toro, but ease up on the certain wrapper. I'm for the 20 cigar pass, 5-7 takes and puts.
A theme pass would be cool, I'm down for a wrapper or size theme. I have 2-3 cigars by a maker so, I would be difficult to do an i.e. Fuente/Padron pass. I like the 5-7 idea.
It doesn't have to be Fuente/Padron pass just thought two options would be better for some people then just one certain blender.
I don't think that even needs a vote, its a given.
As for the theme, I think going with a specific wrapper would probably limit the participants too much. You'll immediately eliminate everybody who doesn't like that wrapper, plus anybody whose stash isn't filled out enough to have a variety of that wrapper on hand. People can always buy something specifically for the pass, of course, but that's harder to do when it's a pass; it may already have everything you ordered in it.
ISTM country or maker(s) is the best bet. I'm less keen on the duel idea, but wouldn't object to it.
Theme: Blender sounds good. I say lets try and get a wide variety of smokes into the box.
Start with 5 sticks from 4 makes (20 total cigars) You're free to take, lets say 5 smokes, you have to replace that cigar with a same make, but in a different line.
I think this way we could have a big selection of different smokes. Well what if someone doesn't have a large enough collection to handle replacing the smoke from the same maker?
Lets say that the number of smokes taken isn't set in stone. Lets say min 2 max 10, or something along those lines.
Lets see how many smokes we can get into that box for them troops...might be a large box heading back when this pass is through!
But that would be an interesting twist...
