I should really refrain from looking at FOH on my phone during the workday, lol. Bad eyes and a small screen make for missed details. I'm just seeing this post by @Buck14 clearly now. Got you on board as a vet. Thanks for joining us!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going through customs is a complication I don't really want to take on. Someone should organize a UK boxpass... Shipping would probably be quick. Didn't Clarkson, May and Hammond prove that UK post is faster to cross the whole of Britain than a porsche panamera?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve still got plenty of time too, as I don’t plan to start the box until summer. Newbies - what questions do you have? I and the other vets are happy to help.

PrairieSmoke Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I have a clarification on the point system. Since it is 2018 is a 2016 box code a 2-5 year category cigar?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouftastic Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I would like to join, I consider myself a newbie (<1 year) with a few aged/HTF boxes. No idea which list I should sign up for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Unless other vets would prefer to be less lenient with this, I would say the best way to factor that would be to go strictly by the month code. If you're putting a NOV 16 stick in the box in july of 2018, then no. If you're putting an ENE 16 (january) stick in in july, then yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based off of what I know about your collection, and your buying habits I'd say that by the time the pass hits the air in summer, you'll be more than qualified (in terms of what you're able to put) as a vet. If you want a little extra leeway, I might suggest we add you as a "'tweener". Maybe give you half a point handicap per stick instead of the full point? You do have a pretty impressive collection of unusual sticks for someone who's been in the CC game as briefly as you have. Makes you sort of an unusual case as far as classification in the binary newbie/vet designation. Lemme know how you feel about those ideas.
