Put It Forward

[saggel]

This is a game that I've seen on other cigar related (and not cigar related) forums! It basically has three simple rules and seems really fun!
Initially a member posts a list with cigars that he hasn't try, then another member who has at least two cigars on that list replies and sends them! The game continues with that second member posting a new wish list. If nobody answers the wish in 24 hours, the member needs to expand his list in order to keep the thread moving.

What do you think? If you like the idea, I could start with a first list, or if you want anyone else can start.

LiL Bro
That is a great Idea with the addition of The cigars asked for should not exceed a certain price and limited editions. Its much easier with NC because of the variety available. Try This if I my?
Who wants some cigars? Someone responds and after they make contact through PM. The person who responds asks who wants some cigars and so on and so forth.
Example S
Sagel asks who wants some cigars G-Man says I'll take those cigars(after pm ing )
Then G_man asks Who wants some cigars? Mickie the Icepick says I'll take those cigars (after pm has been made)
Then Mickie the Icepick asks and so on and so on
The person asking chooses which cigars to send,the person excepting has no idea what he will recieve. Only premium cigars can be passed, Weather Cuban or Non Cuban!

Now we'll have to wait for 24 hours for the list to be expanded

[G-man]

Why

You have 24 Hrs. but it doesn't usually take that long.

Now we'll have to wait for 24 hours for the list to be expanded

There is also a version called "Take a Wish-Pay it Forward"

Example:
I post a list of cigars I have to offer such as this...
Partagas de Partagas#1
Bolivar Royal Corona
Vegas Robania Classicos
Partagas Shorts
HU Conn.#1

Someone than would choose(post) one or two he wants to try from the above list then himself post a list of cigars he has for a BOTL to try.
This is done offering either CC or NC cigars,most usually one or the other.

Disclaimer:most often the offering person sends the chosen cigars and rounds up to five sticks per play.

Sounds very confusing to my simple brain, i will stand back and watch and join in when i think i get the grasp.. I aint that smart, my brain 'cell' doesnt always work. I had my full labotomy when i got my degrees.

Nah, I'm only messin' witcha. (El Cat sadly withdraws his request for CGR's - sigh)
Go for it saggel.

Like the idea, plus I think G-man and TriSheild are on to something with there additional guidelines.

[saggel]

I think we can go for both games
Both are great and will keep us busy
hm... ok... let me prepare a long list

[saggel]

Also Mike is right... we need a price threshold for the cigars to be sent! Any suggestions?

This is a nice addition too! So the second player can choose 2 (or up to five) from the list and then round up to five with some of his choice! I think we are getting there! But a price threshold should be set too!

Also Mike is right... we need a price threshold for the cigars to be sent! Any suggestions?

Perhaps the prices of an online retailer could be used as a guide, if we pick just one, i.e. 'C.Gars' as an example (but perhaps one with a wider range of NC's would be more suitable), then at least it would provide a consistent benchmark, all the prices would be easy to see and compare.

You could then have 3 or 4 price bands, say:

a) ?2 to ?5
b) ?5 to ?10
c) ?10 to ?15
d) ?15 to ?20
etc
And trades/swaps etc could fall within the same band to keep it 'like for like'.

Names El Cat and I'm running for the office of Chief of Justice!
