All this talk of cigars has sparked the following idea.

How about a box pass, puros only, 100% puros handmade, in this box pass we start with just a few sticks, each person takes and puts as normal, there's a troop bag and host bag (this one you can put any kind of smoke not necessarily ISOMS), then after you've done your takes and puts, you add a few more at least one but not more than 2 or 3. This are put on an extra, and separate bag. Once the pass is over the "extra sticks are counted numbered and there's a lottery, I pull names out of a hat and the lucky few that are picked get a package in the mail.

So what do you think????

Maybe it's a long shot, but I thought it would be fun???

I'd be game but then I am game for almost anything.

count on me

I'll play

puros=ISOM only
or
puros=all tobacco from same country?

If the latter, I'd be interested.

Puros as in ISOM

Sorry...puroed out.

Good idear! Count me in, coma!

hmmm, would pinar pre-embargos count? Those are the only "cubans" i have, but i'd love to try other ones. The pinars are 100% cuban tobacco
If that counts...include me! gvlagos at uiuc dot edu

Ok then I'm out.

ahhhh, bummer. no ISOMs in sight here.

sounds like fun, though. you fellas enjoy!

COUNT ME IN!!!!!!!!
I have not done a boxpass yet, and I feel like the fat kid who always gets widdled out of the competition. I have humidors, coolidors, Igloodors, burp-a dors, FULL of smokes, and I never get invited to the big dance. ISOM's....you got it!
Just know that Smelly will blow that box up with some fine smokes! The End

smelly have you asked to be in a box pass? Most of us will post that we are preparing to start a pass and ask anyone interested to submit their name and references. You have more than enough references already.

I'll vouch for ya. How far are you from turnberry?

I am 20 minutes from Turnberry(Fredmeister).

...and I apologize for stating it as if I am never included...I am just always late to the party on the best passes, then have to read the cigars I missed out on. Thank you, Tony, for your kind words, and I hope to be in the passes your in.

Dave

grond,

Wood-man probably got to the ISOM's only post and hit reply without completely reading the thread. That's at least what I interpreted it to mean till I got to your post.
