Sending this out to gauge interest with the vets and FOG's for a strictly ISOM/Super Premium box pass.

Da Chief's comment in the KISS pass thread about using insurance to ship an ISOM pass got me thinking we should get one going!

I certainly don't mind starting this up with a dozen or so smokes and managing the passes through members here, but I think because of the nature of the sticks we're talking about, only trusted, recommended and ACTIVE BOTL should be considered for participation...

FWIW, I think there are a few guys on the boards here who could vouch for me, in case there are any questions about *my* trustworthiness... 🙂

Let me know if you're interested! I think it could be great fun!

I'd be interested, if yall will have me.

That said, does insuring ISOMs accomplish anything. IE can you go to USPS, tell them what was in the box and collect?

I think we have enough to start on this. My thinking is once we get going, maybe some other BOTL will want to join in, assuming others can vouch for them, etc.

Here's the initial rotation:

1) k9kop

2) andytv

3) R6_80922

4) teedubbya

5) icyo

Here's what's going out in the inital pass:

AF Hemmingway BTL

AF 858 SG

Partagas Serie D No.4 (ISOM)

Montecristo #2 (ISOM)

Por Larranga Petite Corona (ISOM)

Ramone Allones Small Club Corona (ISOM)

FFOX Opus X Double Corona

Padron 1926 No.1 Maduro

Let me know if these are acceptable and what you were expecting for a PRIMO PASS! Once I get the OK from everyone, we'll get started!

BTW, I have no opinion on insurance, etc. How can you insure something you can't even really disclose?

Thanks!

Exxxxxxxxxcelent..........

Lets get a ruling on the insurance. AT least you could use it perhaps to be reimbursed for the domestics.

I would also suggest that box code, date, or estimation of age be provided with the ISOMs. (I'd hate to smoke a young'in).

I think we should also establish ground rules regarding value of the smokes. An AF 8-5-SG retails for less than $5; so does a Cuban Beli.......are they even trades??

I'm not trying to be a PIA, just trying to avoid some bad things I've seen.

No, I agree! Let's make things clear and simple before we start this sucker up! Taking a cue from recent discussions on the KISS pass, let's make sure we trade ISOM for ISOM. The 858SG is rare, but you're right, maybe it doesn't belong in this pass. I don't have box codes for everything, but I'm including the ones I do and also approximate dates for the ones I don't. Here we go:

Ramone Allones Small Club Corona (ISOM) 2004

Does this sound ok?

Damn..........I was eyeing up that 8-5-8 SG....talk about a backfire!!1 LOL

Seriously though....I am a little stumped when it comes to rarities. It doesn't seem right to trade for MSRP, but some passes operate that way. IMHO the host suffers because not many would PUT an 8-5-8 SG in the box and take out a $6 smoke.

I meant.........LOOKS GOOD!!!! lets rock!

No worries! It's all good.

Can any vet (participating or not) vouch for Pinto?

Otherwise, I'll be sending this out tomorrow to k9kop (I still have your snailer) and post the DC# here.

Make sure you announce your puts/takes in this thread for group approval before sending on to the next person. Each of you is responsible for getting the snailer for the next person on the list and shipping to them. Try not to take too long before sending the pass on to the next BOTL. If you need more time, just let us know here. We all understand things happen. And... that's about it!

Let's have some fun! 🙂
