The PIF's are a lot of fun, and a great way to trade, but with most/all of the wishlists being very hard to find and expensive smokes it can be somewhat exclusive.

The idea behind this is that you ask for smokes that you are wanting to try (or just really like) under a certain price point.

Here are the rules:
1) Post a list of at least 8 cigars you are looking to try under $8 per stick online box price (not c-bid since it varies)
2) Who ever has at least three of the wants can pick up that request and send at least five cigars
3) Then once there is a delivery conformation from the receiver you may post your list of 8 or more cigars

Toby2 will post a list to start this off...

I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.

Oh man... I thought the "I got it" meant you wanted to pick me up. If not, no worries. But if you want to play, seriously send me anything you like. We have pretty similar tastes judging by your posts!

Have you tried the Mini-Pif pass?  I thought it was started to basically address the high end nature of the regular PIF pass?

The Mini-Pif only requires one cigar from the wish-list.

Yes, I've participated in the mini PIF multiple times, and will again, but the wishlists in the mini PIF are still high dollar/ hard to find sticks.

I thought this PIF could be facilitate more players, since most, if not all geeks should have 2 or 3 from many lists. I personally don't have a problem fulfilling wishlist PIFs, but I also like to try the new everyday smokes that come out all the time.

This is just another way to boost Geek interactions through cigar transactions!

That's mostly because there isn't a cigar in NY that's priced under $8.
