That's why I put the "surprise me" clause on the list.

Here is a somewhat updated list, just to keep the outrage down to a quiet roar.

AF 858 Sungrown

AF Casa Cuba (If you're so inclined to go above the $8 range)

AVO Syncro Nicaragua robusto

LAT52 Robusto (Nat or Mad)

LFD Coronado (new release)

LFD Suave Grand Maduro

PSD4 (I think they're still in the $8 range)

Bolivar Royal Corona (I think they're still in the $8 range as well)

Any CC in the range

LFD Chapter II

LFD Colorado Oscuro

Illusione Rothchild

Partagas (regular line red label)

PARTAGAS 170 ! ! !

Recently released and I'm friggin broke ! 😣

Or, as I said . . .

Just surprise me . . . Med/full, 48-52 RG, nothing too peppery, please.

Thanks.

jes

Topped for jespear.

WAIT a minute . . . I AM jespear. [sarcasm]

Did you have any of the 150s? Heard anything about how the 170 compares?

Nick,

See post #15

http://www.cigarbid.com/FORUM/c/posts/644226/Partagas-170-Anniversario- 

I have not had the pleasure of experiencing a 170 yet, but from what I've seen and heard, it looks to be a different blend. Will still try them at some point, if they are still available when I'm in a purchase mode.

Is this an "official" pick up, or are you just checking to see if I'm worthy of anything in your humi ? 🤔

[sarcasm]

Oh i know you are not worthy of my rockets.... but deserving of much better. looking to see if I can pick you up with some surprises at least. but i gotta wait until Saturday when i get back. if no one has got you by then, then i am your huckleberry

Much appreciated, but don't be too concerned about me "deserving much better". 😳

Keep in mind . . . this is supposed to be a "non-elitist" pass.

I realize that some of the cigars on my list may have overstepped the line, (Hey . . . I'm not the first to do so.), but bottom line is, as I said, this is a "non-elitist" pass. ANYTHING you may send, if you are in fact my huckleberry, will be welcomed with open arms.

jes

Well then we will make it official and yes I am your huckleberry.

Oh snap post 15 lol

Ordered a fiver of the 170's from the mothership today.

So we doing this?

Here is a PM that I sent to Chazbo.

Yo Chaz.

Got a question for ya.

In the OP of the PIB/Wants-non elitist thread, APBTMarcel attributes the idea to you, so I thought you would be the one to ask.

My question is:

What happens if the last person "up" doesn't get any replies ?

I am ASSUMING that the OP'er would be the one to declare the "pass" is over and send cigars the person "up" , thereby officially completing the cycle, but in THIS case, ABPTMarcel started the thread over two years ago and hasn't had any activity on the boards for over a year.

Any insight ?

Just curious.

John

Chazbo's reply:

Hey John, that is a good question. I do think it's time to shut it down for a while. Let me send him a pm and see if he replies.

Chazbo

Chazbo's 2nd reply:

John, I sent him a private message on Monday and have not gotten a response.I think it's time to close it up for a while. You want to do it?

Chazbo

My reply:

How do we end it ? It's kind of a sticky situation

Presently, I am up, after sending to mountainman.

rrumba has agreed to "pick me up".

I told him about my question to you and he understands the situation. He is waiting to see if you heard back from ABPTMarcel about completing the cycle and closing the thread.

Seeing as how you haven't gotten a response, it seems that somebody, whether it's me,

(if we end the thread right now), or rrumba ,(if nobody picks him up), or whoever is the last person to "send", who doesn't get picked up . . . SOMEBODY is gonna wind up on the short end.

Like I said . . . it's a sticky situation.

Any thoughts ?

john

So, does anyone else on the board have any suggestions as to how to end the thread, or should we just continue on hoping that it will go on for infinity ?

jes

Every time I jump on a PIB, activity on it halts for 2 or 3 weeks.

t

If a BOTL wanted to close it down, they could simply pick someone and not put up a new list(taking 1 for the team so to speak), but if anyone doesn't post a list right now, we get outrage within 5 minutes. I do find it funny when we have a bunch of guys screaming outrage over no list, but when the list goes up it sits for a week.

So with all that said, I believe Rrumba has picked up John. That means Rrumba has had this open for like 3 days without a list. . .

OUTRAGE!!! 🇨🇮

Well then, there ya have it.

If nobody has any objections to Illinichaser's take on the situation, then the ball is in rrumba's court.

Send at your convenience, my friend . . . and post a list immediately, to keep the OUTRAGE wolves at bay !

Thank you for setting the record straight, Jeremy.

jes

So let me get this straight, only cuz its really and I mean REALLY in my favor...

I pick you up jes, and if I out no list up, you guys can outrage all you like, I can **** it down taking one for the team so NOBODY has to send anything and we can let it sit for a bit and then start it back up????

I think this is THE best route to take since we are at 5260 posts in this one baby.

So let's do that. No list to follow and I will pick up jespear
