New Idea?? A Pipe Tobacco Crawl

It is hard to come up with an original idea but I'll throw this out to see what you think.
Basically, the idea is an organized tobacco crawl, similar to a pub crawl, when groups visit different pubs and try different beverages. The idea is that participants agree to try a variety of specified blends for say, a week or a month. We could have theme tours, say a tour for pipe newbies; a VaPer tour, Balkan Tour, Bulk tour; line tour, etc.
Off the top of my head, I think a monthly tour with four or different tobaccos could be manageable. Long enough to investigate blends but short enough to avoid tedium. TobacCrawlers (BacCrawlers?) would share their opinions, reviews and insights of the weekly choice online. We could have different crawl guides, maybe some from the industry, others could be old timers, some would be aficionados of blends, lines, or styles.
The more I write, the more excited I'm getting. The first tour might be an organized introduction to the world of tobaccos, focusing on the basics. Week One would be maybe straight Virginias, week two a burley, week three maybe a Vaper; week four maybe an English or Balkan, and perhaps finally an aromatic.
Later crawls might be all VaPers, English, or all G.L.Pease or C&D, etc.
What do you think? Hope I'm not repeating an established idea but haven't seen anything quite like it on the boards. I can really see this idea going viral
What do say? Any interest? Volunteers to organize the first crawl?

I'm familiar with the box pass, although I've not participated. I have participated in several cigar passes, however.
My idea for a virtual crawl is different. Unlike the box pass, members would buy their own tobacco from their favorite vendors or any source they would like. No worries about delayed shipping, trust issues, freshness, etc. (Some vendors might wish to participate in some way, maybe a discount for the crawl members)
Crawlers are smoking the same tobaccos the same week, for comparison notes and discussion, rather than whatever strikes their fancy from the box. (Not that there is anything wrong with that)
Forum members could organize on their own or maybe PipesMagazine would like to sponsor an official tour each month.
There could be as little as two people participating or hundreds. If anyone would like to try one, let me know. I don't think I'm breaking any forum rules with the proposal. If no interest, no problem. Wouldn't be the first time I had what I thought was a great idea that developed no interest.
81 is right about it being a bit like a book club.

Good comments, all. Thanks everyone.
Cmdrmcbragg, you're correct, it would require some advance planning. I'm sure in many cases, folks would already have a tin or have already smoked the blend.
However, members would need only commit to one crawl at a time, e.g, smoke several bowls from a specified tin each week for a month, write their comments, observations, stories, reviews; compare notes; celebrate or grieve over the latest ball, game.
Depending on the theme, some might drop from the months scheduled theme, and others join in. Curious about LakeLands or aromatics or burlesque? Sign up or just drop in. Not interested? Catch you next time around.
It would be like a virtual pipe-meetup. You wouldn't get the immediate interchange of a live meeting but would get more prompt, current and focused responses than on the review boards.
I don't see a need for a lot of formality. People can come and go as they please, can afford or according to their passing interest. Some crawl groups might be semi-permanent like a club, others more like a onetime pub crawl.
I've done something similar with a cigar buddy in NY. We'd light up on an agreed Friday night, pour a favorite beverage, and shoot the breeze about the smokes, the drinks, politics - whatever. Even got on the phone a couple of times. Turned out we liked online better.
I like the idea most as way of semi-organizing my exploration of tobaccos and sharing the journey real-time.
MSO, nothing saying you have to smoke tobaccos that aren't already in your cellar. You might even nominate one if it fits the theme or recommend a theme that fits your cellar. And I'm with you about variety. While I envision smoking at least several bowls from the weeks selection, I would certainly smoke other blends at the same time. Come to think of it, that would sometimes provide fodder for comparisons that others would find of use and interest.

Thank goodness for Google. Mac Barren Old Dark Fired. Haven't tried that one yet. We could make that the first tin in the first week of the first crawl.
I would never join any club where the beverage served was Coors Light. Give me bottled water; at least it is more honest about its ontology. Now a book club that featured a craft beer of the week - now we're talking. ::

misterlowercase, I like your idea and would participate. Sign me up. I would like a blend that is still being made so that I could compare an aged vs a fresh blend.
Having said that, your idea is different than the crawl since it would involve fronting some money, someone would have to ship and pack, and otherwise manage the experience. But if you want to volunteer, tell me where to send the cash or paypal.
Meantime, I'm still hoping for interest in the tobacco crawl. Maybe do a test run in August, starting with straight Virginians but I'm open to the details.

OK, ODF will be first up, let's say starting August 1. I nominate 3 nuns, a classic I believe.
The review of the Virginia Burley is here: http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/5214/mac-baren-hh-old-dark-fired
Our theme could be Virginia Burleys or perhaps a survey of other Mac Barren blends.
I recommend that we explore Viriginia Burleys. Let's pick 1 or 3 more candidates. What do YOU want to try? We could also just pick the top rated blends in the category.
Quick search for other highly rated Virginia Burleys include 3 nuns; GLP Jack Knife plug; Gawith, Hoggarth & Co. - Revor Plug]; aw heck:

ODF is Mac Barren's Old Dark Fired, a Virginia Burley. I had to Google ODF and tobacco to figure it out.

Guidelines

1. If possible, smoke 3 or more bowls a week
   

Share reviews, comments, comparisons with other blends you are smoking or have smoked in the appropriate thread.
The first crawl thread is here: http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/the-first-pax-virtual-tobacco-crawl-virginia-burleys?replies=1#post-646866 (Much of this organizational is duplicated there)
Order your tobacco from whatever source you wish but I'll find at least one source for your consideration and convenience.
Real time smoke-in is optional. Maybe best way to handle is for any participant to post an announcement on the thread, stating the time that you'll be smoking a bowl, and leaving an open invitation for others to join in.
We are in it for fun, so ok to drop in late, drop out early. We're winging it anyway, so these guidelines are flexible and will almost certainly change as we get experience. let's see where we go.
Who knows, a few years from now, you might be able brag that you were one of the first tobacco crawlers.
One question for all: My preference is to taste 4 blends a month. Is that too much? Any other suggestions welcome.
