This is a thread generated automatically by the Cigar Pass system to discuss the Cigar Pass named 'Can I get an AMEN!'.

Use this link to return back to the Cigar Pass.

This is a variation of the "Four Or More" concept. I'm looking for this pass to include 4-star cigars which *do not* have three reviews yet. Those which need a "second opinion" are prime targets for this pass (but if you want to toss in a few that have lots of reviews, that's okay too).

Pass Guidelines:
1. There must be at least one review of the cigar in the CG database -- even if it is only your review!
2. The average rating must be 4.0 stars or higher.

As always, please respect value in your puts and takes, and have fun! There will be up to 15 participants who meet the following criteria:
 - At least 100 points
 - "Regular" rank or above (link: http://www.cigargeeks.com/community/statistics/user-listing.asp )
 - Good reputation in the CG community

Fun Fact:
Groucho Marx suffered from insomnia, which he claimed was due to a financial loss in the stock market. When he suffered from insomnia, he used to call people up in the middle of the night and insult them. In the 1950s Groucho was invited to take a tour of the New York Stock Exchange. While in the observation booth, he grabbed the public address system handset and began singing "Lydia the Tattooed Lady". Upon hearing silence coming from the trading floor, he walked into view, was given a loud cheer by the traders, and shouted, "Gentlemen, in 1929 I lost eight hundred thousand dollars on this floor, and I intend to get my money's worth!" For fifteen minutes, he sang, danced, told jokes, and all this time, the Wall Street stock ticker was running blank.

Sure I'll have you. Basically, the idea is good cigars that need more reviews. For example (just to pull the first 4+ star cigar I find in the database), the 262 Paradigm Torpedo has 5 stars from only one member. It needs more reviews so CG can really give it a balanced, reliable rating.

If someone puts it into the pass, someone else gets a chance to review it. Maybe they'll yell AMEN and give it another good review  :biggrin:

Hot August night
And the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smelling sweet
Move up the road
To the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat

Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group
Telling you and me

It's Love
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother Love's show

AMEN!  Request sent.

This pass is looking for cigars with 4 stars and few ratings, so just pulling this together is taking some research. I'm having to inventory my humidors :lmao:

So far, I have three that need reviews and two more that have 4.0 from one review each. Still digging and checking ratings, but I'll be ready to package this up this weekend.

Still room for more participants!

I really want to join, but am not sure I have enough sticks (if any) to do this. I need to do a little inventory!

No worries, I know what you mean. The initial puts are going to be hard to do if I truly restrict myself to 4+ stars and <3 reviews. I may have to fudge a little and put in some 4+ with more than 3 reviews.

Somehow, I think nobody will complain too much as long as there's a bunch of good cigars moving around.

Can we get Paul to pull a list to post so I can see if I have enough to contribute?   :confused:

Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.'" -Jack Handy
