Point one is to keep it real simple. I want to use the USPS video tape box for 10-12 cigars only. These boxes can be filled and mailed for the USPS Priority Mail minimum rate of $3.85.

The beauty of using a small box is that you don't have to go to the PO to mail it. Anything under 1 pound can be dropped off in the delivery box, or just put in your mailbox. When the box is getting near to you, just be sure that you have an empty box ready to go (they're free at the PO) and a Priority Mail stamp (or $3.85 in postage stamps). That way you don't even need to leave the house.

There are a minimum of rules: If you like all the cigars in the box, take 'em all and replace 'em. If you like none of them, just send it on. If there are Cubans in the box, replace them with good cigars, but no need for a "Cuban-for-Cuban" rule. The worst offense in any box pass (short of stealing the box) is sitting on the box for too long. The people downstream are all anxious to see it. If you know you're going to be out of town, just let your 'upline' know and you can change the order so the box will come in when you know you can attend to it

It is perpetual; it will go until there is no interest from anyone in receiving it anymore.

One tradition of box passes that HAS to be ignored is to "always leave the box better than you received it." If the box got better at each stop, it would soon be impossibly good. I am not the host here, so don't look to me to approve your trades.

Posting mail addresses online is not wise, so each person in the chain should email the person next down the list for the snailer. We can all keep track of the box and its progress by posting on the CBid thread.

sweet!!!

Package recieved from the Dr. Myash07, box will be sent tommorow.
Ken, Thank you for the wonderful smokes, I kept all of them!
Jimmy, I only had a couple of Cameroon wrapped things, but I think you will enjoy what I send you,
Eric1989

Oh Shat!
I screwed up....... (FNG, what'da expect)
I got bombed by someone named eric on monday...
I thought it was the Kiss Pass, I pulled a couple of sticks and added a couple, then I sent it to lukin.

So to set everything right...
lukin the first box from myash07 is simply a 12 stick bomb titled the perpetual pass...Keep it!
The next one will be the "REAL" one... to forward on!
Sorry for the confusion....
my (stupid)ash

Eric: Glad they made them there OK. I was worried, because I also packed up the troop box at the same time. Because I didn't have the OpFTH address, the troop box was left on my desk, sealed and ready to go. The next day I noticed that the adhesive had given way and the box was open. YIKES! If that had happened to the boxpass, the contents would be scattered and you might be left with an empty box.

I also noticed that the box seems to have found its way into a wormhole or some warp in the space-time continuum. It made it past you and past myash07 on the day after I dropped it into the mail to you!?!

I take it that you went ahead and replaced the box in anticipation?

If you think you can just bomb me on the sly like that and not get away with it...you are sadly mistaken....

damn rookies 😛

I will send my part of the pass today to Myash07. I kinda wondered about that!
No problem, we'll get it all sorted out.
Eric1989

just to sort things out for the really dumb....

The REAL Perpetual boxpass is still with Eric. Myash sent out a box that he THOUGHT was the perpetual boxpass to me. ERIC will be sending the REAL perpetual boxpass later on today to Myash....right?
