The Rules of Engagement (updated 6-11-14)
Here are the basics: This Box Pass is a box that has a large variety of tobaccos for you to sample. It is sponsored by the members, not PipesMagazine.
In the hopes of mitigating, or at least limiting, disaster befalling the box, we’ve established a few simple rules. If you want to join the Box Pass queue, you must read and agree to these rules, pay attention to the thread and follow it closely. This is not hard to do, just "Favorite" it by clicking on “Add This Topic To Your Favorite” at the top of this page. Drop a friendly note on this thread every now and again, we like hearing from you. We’ll also be limiting the published Pass List to the first ten names or so to keep it manageable.
Do not sign up if you do not have a stable address, will be moving soon, are going to school out of state, are liable to be abducted by aliens, etc. You need to be an active, established member on here to show that you will be sticking around, and are trustworthy. The other several boxes that were "lost", were the result of not having the above attributes. Favorite this thread, stay active on it, and make sure you're posting when your turn comes around to avoid being dropped. The list administrators reserve the right to drop anyone from the list who doesn’t toe the line, including themselves.
Once you're in possession of the box, post in this thread your intent to mail so that the next person in line can respond; if they don't respond to the list in time move on to the next person that does.
