Well, looks like Pass #3 is over, and if it is cool with everyone here, I wouldn't mind starting up pass #4. I was thinking five bags total, and since there seems to be a divide between fans of Rocky Patel and Gurkha, how about a Rocky Patel bag, a Gurkha bag, then a "whatever" bag and another troop donation bag. I was also thinking a CAO bag, since they seem to be another brand with a ton of different blends. Same as last pass, we would start out with 5 sticks per bag, take any you want but replace with a similar themed stick. I think it would be a good way to really try comparable smokes from each of these brands and see which (if either) you really prefer. I know the last one had a Rocky Patel bag in it, so if you all think a different theme would be better, let's hear it.

Whatever we decide, I could have it ready to send out (pending names and all) by the end of next week/beginning of the following, and we could set up the line so it goes geographically like last one but putting Andy on last (for the troop donation bag). If this sounds good, let me know.

So the theme souinds good to everyone then? I'll set it up like this:

Bag 1: Gurkhas
Bag 2: Rocky Patels
Bag 3: CAOs
Bag 4: Any brands/blends
Bag 5: Troop Donations (if Andy can still handle that, if not I can send it to the Mudhouse on Camp Taji in Iraq when it gets back to me)

I'm going to be putting in an order tomorrow, so I will grab up whatever sticks I don't have now to put 5 cigars in each bag. I should have those cigars in by the end of the week, so the pass should be on its way to the first recipient by early next week. I guess the deadline to have signed up is Friday, midnight Hawaii time. Then on Saturday I will get the names together and get the list in order. Sound good to everyone?

I'll have to pick up some CAOs, but I'd like to participate as well. Thanks.

Nine so far. Has anyone heard from Andy? If he isn't able to help out with the troop donations, its cool, like I said before, I can always send them out to the Mudhouse, and probably get some pics of the guys there enjoying them.

I already have the Gurkha bag done, and I put the order in today to fill the gaps, should have them here by Friday/Saturday.

so let me see if I got this, basically we take as many cigar we want from any bag (assuming all bags are going to one person at one time), and replace the ones we took with another cigar? Or do we just pick from one bag?

Take whichever sticks you want from whichever bag, as long as you replace them with similar themed sticks. For example, you get the box and take 3 Gurkhas, 1 RP, 1 CAO, and 2 from the anything bag. You then put in 3 different Gurkhas, 1 different RP, 1 different CAO, and 2 different cigars of any brand/blend into the appropriate bags. You down Pheebs?
