Just checkin in, the pass looks great!

I just posted a thread in Cigars and Misc. It contains a great MSRP price list for rare Fuente and Opus products, as well a cigar guide. May be beneficial as the pass go along.

Later,

PINTO

Everything looks good! Wanted let everyone know I'm moving the host bag sticks into the pass and opening them up for trading. Andytv and Da Chief have graciously allowed me to share their generosity with everyone, so feel free to make plays on these cigrs as well! Here's what the pass looks like now...

Question: Can anyone put $$ on the list for reference.

$$ in the sheet is not out of the question but not SOP either. The host chooses a site he will use for price reference. On this board we use CI and the host's local if CI does not sell it. For Habanos we use a site that the host picks as well.

Route and snailers should be part of the package.

This is why I left the KISS pass. Too many BOTLS trying to tell how the pass should be run. This costs this...this costs that....If it is not your PASS...shut the F**k up!

Post your puts and takes as close as possible....wait for approval from THE OWNER OF THE PASS....and go from there. STOP trying to run something that is not yours. If you are inexperienced use your list to help you decide on what to put for your takes......

Just my .02 cents for whatever it maybe worth...GO DIRTY BIRDS!!!!!!

DON'T FLAME ME!!!!!!! LOL!

I just see this pass going the way the KISS and other passes went if someone doesn't step up.

Bottom Line....It is ICYO's pass he decides on what is a good trade or not....Let's keep it running nicely without whipping out all the price guides in the world...Here in colorado I get screwed when I go to a local due to the tax.

Keep the Pass running tight...:)

K9 buddy it is on it's way too you.

sory chief put participation of all BOTL in the pass to include comments on plays is ALWAYS welcome. I have NEVER ben in a pass that did not welcome this.

So think before you post. How do you know that everyone in the pass is knowledgeable of all the smokes?

This is a member pass and since YOU are not the host what gives you the right to tell anyone to SFU?

Thanks everyone for your input and participation!

But let's backup a bit here. I don't think anyone has made any comments about puts or takes so far other than to say they've looked great. I continue to welcome and expect everyone to make comments on puts and takes, because some of ya'll may have experience with a cigar that I don't, etc. and that knowledge should be shared with everyone so that we all can learn. Puts and takes comments = good!

I think Da Chief has a wicked funny sense of humor that I'm quickly coming to appreciate. He has more history with passes than I do, and I think he was just making a preemptive remark so that things don't spiral out of control with everyone arguing over prices, etc. In short, he doesn't want too many chiefs and not enough indians in the pass (now that's funny)! Maybe he thinks everyone's interest in price sheets is a bad harbringer of nit-picking price fights to come, but I don't see it that way. Maybe my threshold level's a little higher, but I thought everything was going pretty smoothly! Bassdude was only trying to share some knowledge and info with me and everyone else on the pass. It's all good. And welcome.

Here's my philosphy on this: if you feel like you're putting equal or better into the pass than you're taking out, there shouldn't be any problems.

If you need price sheets or web sites, etc. to help you make your decision, by all means, go for it. With so many retailers out there, it's hard to agree on what price is correct. I'm not going to be a stickler on this. Just do what's right and make fair trades. Period.

Bottom line: if you have a question about a trade, ask me or ask the group. I'll have the final word on what's fair or not, if a trade is good or not. So no worries.

#1 Rule: Treat each other with respect and like BOTL's, give better than you get, help out the next guy, share your knowledge and experience, and have fun!

That, and I'm the only one on this thread who's allowed to tell anyone to SFU from now on!!! 😉

So let's everyone shake hands, discuss and enjoy great cigars, and above all have some fun.

I bow to ICYO! LOL! He has figured me out....LOL!

BOTLS that is why I did a follow up on don't flame me...LOL!

I am a smart ace but want to help too. I have been on a couple few passes I they have been ruined by nit-pickyness cause someone down the pass who is going to get the box doesn't think he is getting a good box pass, and others have been dog-rocketed by other BOTL who take advantage of the BOTL doing the pass....just my .02 centavos PERROS!

BASSDUDE I LOVE YOU MAN! LOL! I love it when you talk in code...LOL!
