We could do a RATS (Ring Around the Stogie). It's a one time high end PIF. You get a set amount of people and randomly draw names to see who sends to who. Everyone ships their PIF around the same time and then you have 10-15 people getting their PIF's at once.

It's been done a few times on these boards and others.

How does a RATS sound to everyone?

Ok..

Ill say we can do the RATS..sounds cool..

Heres what im thinkin...

7 sticks(and there CAN be more, but lets try to keep this the minimum...)

Minimum of 2 PIF's... I dont see the point in requiring Trades, because it would take forever to get vouches..

minimum of 100 Posts

All 7 sticks must be top shelf.. Dont send your bundle sticks.. ..

You may send CC's, You MAY send TWO of the same brand..(try not to send multiples more then once i.e. two vsg's belicosos AND two RASS), But if it is a MUST, and the cigar is ultra worthy, then it can be allowed..

I will think of more after i finish this poker tournament, lol

Sounds good.

The only other suggestions I'd make is:

1. That we set a window timeframe of when the packages have to be mailed off. The idea is that everyone is getting their PIF within a few days.

2. Make it random so the person collecting addresses is the one who draws names out of a hat, kinda like a secret santa. He then e-mails the people and lets them know who their mooch is and the address. Only the person running the RATS will know who is sending the PIF to them.

Definately..

Lets say that we figure out all the addresses and what not first... And then decide when the first package goes out.......

And there is a 60 hour period (to send it out) after receiving their package...

Who is going to be "THE GUY" to collect everything?

Are we making this a 15 man operation?

Ok Since it was my idea, I guess I'll be the one to collect names. All rules apply from above for eligibility.

Please post here to show that you are participating and then send me an e-mail that's in my profile with your addy and alias

We will take as many people that qualify up to 12 and then set a day next week to distribute addys.

You still looking for people. If so, I'd like to be in.
