We did this a few months back and it worked out great and since the PIF's seem to be stagnant, if not dead, I think it's time to trade some 'gars!
I wanted something with the relatively quick turnaround of a PIF but with the feel of a box pass. Here it is:
Ring Around the Stogies II!
First 4 Players who respond to this are in, plus me.
I'll take all the names and put them in a hat.
I will have an impartial observer (my GF or dog) pull the names from the hat.
First one pulled sends 5 cigars to the second name pulled, second sends five to the third guy pulled and so on. Last guy pulled sends 5 cigars to the first guy.
I'll have my GF e-mail the names to keep it annonymous, like a Secret Santa, until the packages arrive. I won't even know who has who!
You should have cigars on hand and be prepared to send your package within 5 days from when we get enough players.
Usual pass protocols in effect: Players should be "known" a bit on the board. say a couple of hundred posts and previous PIF or trade participation. Other than that anything goes. Send what you can afford, sort of like a PIF. Hopefully the karma will be good all around as this is a pretty good group to trade with.
I don't have a couple hundred posts, but have been around the boards off and on. I've never done a PIF or trade, but one has to start somewhere. I'd like to give it a shot and if you don't get enough of the "usual suspects", maybe I can be the supernumerary.
hey Binder I'm down. and thanks slot for those smokes you sent me man, you are beyond generous!

People aren't smoking cigars to be trendy, cool or stylish. They're smoking cigars because they like them. Because they enjoy the experience. Because for about $5 they can spend an hour sampling one of life's greatest luxuries. -David Savona

Beleive it or not..I was the designated driver tonight! I had a couple of Cokes and a bottle of water!
I think I'm getting soft in my old age...and I want to get this thing rolling. It's a leap of faith but I figure everybody on that list is acting in good faith. They certainly don't want a pissed off BinDer going after them on the boards or worse, showing up on their doorstep.
