A pass?

mhajec

With all this talk about tobaccos that have piqued my interest lately, how many of us would maybe be interested in some sort of tobacco pass? We could come up with a set of rules, ie: possibly but not limited to, a dollar limit or including/excluding cigars or including coffee/tea, or spirits and the like. Maybe even have two or three threads dedicated to something like this, a high roller thread for those of us with generous hearts and wallets, a  middle class thread for those of us not so wallet-ly endowed, a poor man's for those of us  maybe on fixed incomes or really crappy pay. You know, something for everyone, but not to make others feel bad we keep them seperate so people don't have to feel like they need to send 5lbs of tobacco with cat poop coffee and a bottle of Johnny Walker Platinum (which is way smoother than the blue label and less expensive FYI). 

I used to belong to a cigar board that did this sort of thing. Anyway, just throwing the feelers out there. I have no set plan personally, so if there is interest we can all collaborate together.

A pass may be interesting

That's the spirit! I feel like it's a good way to not only get to know each other on a more personal level, but it opens up a chance for us all to want to be more involved on the board

Ok, maybe we start with a trade thread at first, that way it gives a chance to establish trust within the community

@mhajec I had the same thought. It would be fun to do for sure.

I love the idea! @thewanderingdude just sent me some fantastic American English samples I am am really enjoying and will be purchasing in the future!

I'd check with the admins first before trying to set something like this up.

thewanderingdude

And I can vouch for the @pipeprofessor as well! We're legit, pass us a box!

mhajec

@judandhispipe any idea how to actually contact them? I just figured if they had an issue with it they would just say something and lock the post, because, you know, admins: the all seeing eye, LOL. 

Anyway, with trades, there isn't much they can do to stop it. If I don't partake in a trade thread because they rejected the thread, I'm just going to get an address by a different mean (Tumblr, IG, twitter, private message) and send packages that way. I just thought it would be cool to have something so we have an opportunity to express interest in a trade or pass or group buy or whatever. Trust me, none of us actually need a reason to fire off a package. If any of us have ever been active on a good cigar board, we know what I'm talking about

PipeProfessor

@thewanderingdude and @mhajec, I'm going to set one up right now and call it 'Trades'. If it gets shut down then so be it. 

judandhispipe

You can always try messaging the admins, @mhajec. Or try tagging them in this discussion. I've participated in several pipe tobacco box passes over the years,so I know how they work.

mhajec

@PipeProfessor awesome, thank you! You and @judandhispipe seem to be the more experienced ones, so it seems appropriate to me that you guys take the reins. I look forward to blowing up your mail boxes, muahhaha

PipeProfessor

Same here @mhajec

mhajec

@PipeProfessor, you will try. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
