I am not sure if I will sign up or not…. sounds very fun, though. Two thoughts:

1. Is there a deadline in terms of signing up? If so, when?

2. Might it be a good idea to have a “loose requirement” that the recipient should write a post about his experience in sampling the box after he passes it onward? It could be entertaining reading that would keep interest high.

You forgot to tell them that failure to abide by the rules will result in a personal visitation by myself with all the flatulence and foul tobacco that would entail! rotf

Boy, some of these guys like @Doctor Chopper, @Sobrbiker, @Scottmi, and @ThermionicScott are very active and upstanding members whom I fully expected met the criteria.

@Scottmi has even been so generous as to send me some tobacco samples, already.

It's funny how the right kind of guy feels like he's been here forever.

I'm not questioning the necessity of objective lines -- they exist because exceptions like these guys are just that (exceptions) -- and I fully support the decisions of the organizers. I'm just lamenting that guys like this fall outside those lines. It's too bad, but I understand.

I appreciate the recognition, but I also understand the rules and the reasoning for it. I totally agree with the rules, and look forward to perhaps getting in next year. I see where making the rules with this process is necessary.

I just want to take a moment to thank all of you for the friendship in this forum. I have benefitted greatly. thanks.

I am dropping a couple off in the mail today.

Ugg, those you listed aren't exactly going to sell the box idea very well, haha.
There's not really any of those things going in the box, Its actually shaping up to be a killer box. I'm not going to divulge any contents until its ready to ship though.
Dibs on any Grape White Owl cigars.
Sorry we only have Acid Patchouli cigars...
