This pass is being created to give the newer members of our community a chance to experience a "no frills" pass.  Once we have enough Geeks on board, this train will leave the station!

I'd like to be a part of this.  I still consider myself a newbie, but obsessive about all the great smokes out there.  The passes ARE fun and it's a great way to learn and try some new sticks. So if you'll have me, I'm in (despite Sugar Bowl 12/31/95 :biggrin: )

If I were a Newbie this would be the pass to be in for sure. Very cool of Brad to put this one on!

As someone who has recently been accused of not running a traditional pass, I wholly endorse this for newbies as well! This will be a great start to help you avoid getting into hot water on this site.

No, a newbie who joins this pass will be joining one ran with integrity and honesty, and some killer cigars. Stefan, you simply do not understand how we treat each other here on CG. You are doing things completely the opposite. You are proving that you cannot be trusted, and that is not easily earned back. But don't worry, there are other sites for you to join.  :notamused:

I just can't let this one go by. I mean wow, man, you haven't been ACCUSED of not running a traditional pass, your "pass" is nowhere near traditional and that's a fact, not an accusation. You have chosen to continue running it the way you intended to and that is, from a certain point of view, you prerogative.

But I fail to understand how it is you think you can go on disrespecting the rules and, in the end, most of us geeks, while calling yourself one. To me, being a geek is a whole lot more than smoking or collecting cigars.

I too, like you and many others hate it when people force my hand or plain tell me what to do but I still adhere to society's rules as I want to be part of it, shouldn't it be the same when joining a club? Those rules were there before you joined and the pass etiquette as well. Hundreds of passes happened with diverse themes, each an original pass with happy Geeks participating and ran in many different ways, but all had in common the fact they respected the rules and etiquette.

Why is it you want to play with us but don't want to play by the rules we are all happy to obey? I believe being a Geek means acting like one, can you?

I'll need a little help from some of you that have already signed up - if there are any brands that you are interested in having in the seed list, post up and I'll do my best to get them in.

The usual suspects will kick this off... Arturo Fuente, CAO, Drew Estate, Flat Bed, Illusione, La Flor Dominicana, Tatuaje, and Viaje.

Post up!  :-)

We already have one thread discussing the other pass, let's try not to let it spill over and complicate this and other clean threads.
Just a thought.

No worries, we'll make sure you understand it before your turn... in a nutshell, you tell me what your puts and takes are and we ship only those sticks to/from each other versus mailing the entire box. Thanks for joining, Thomas.
