    1.0 The Original Box Pass

    I don't know if this has ever been done here or not or if anyone is interested but I thought I'd bring it up.......

    When I was really into cigars (pre-snus) and on a cigar board regularly we used to do what we called a box pass.

    10- 15 people would sign up and one person would start it.
    The one starting it would send 10-15 different cigars to the first person on the list. That person would take what he wanted from the box (sometimes we would put a limit on it) replace what he took with some different cigars from his collection and then send it to the next person. And so on and so on, until it got to the last person who would then send the box back to the person that started it.
    Everyone got to try something new that they might never had thought about before.
    It seems to me this would work with snus. 10-15 cans of snus. Take a can, replace it with something new and pass it down the line.

    I'd go for it...

    One question though...would it "spoil" or dry out being mailed around so much? Just a thought.

      Good question.
      I don't know.
      With the cigars we made sure everything was sealed in air tight baggies.

        I think it would work just fine (for a bunch of US snusers). I know that this type of thing is common too on several pipe tobacco forums. As long as the snus is packed properly and treated as snus should be treated it there shouldn't be any problems.

          Well...if we get a good group goin I'm in. I'm sure Badfish will wanna do it...so we may have to just "share" our turn and only take for one.

          Maybe we could choose a common sealed baggie...like the Ziploc bags. We use them and the vacuum is like 4 bucks with some bags!

            If we get a group going maybe a Tupperware container of some kind could be used to keep everything sealed. I know I have one that would hold 10 -15 cans of snus. That packed in a box should work.

            Anyone that is interested keep posting and if it looks like enough people want to do it I'll set it up and start it off.


            Or if anyone has tried this before and knows why it won't work let me know.


            and yea, it would have to limited to the US. Other countries would have to start their own.

              Im game for this one. I think just using regular old Ziploc would work just fine. I think the whole process would take at most 2 weeks and the only simi big worry would be towards the rear but even then they should be getting properly stored stuff from the people before them.

                  Heck yeah I'm down! I was actually thinking about something jind along these lines last night. Mamafish is on a baby forum, and they get put into pairs and do a onesie swap, but this sounds much easier to organize and much more fun!

                  PS I took your advice ddandb...if only everybody thought like you!

                            Now I'm rethinking the whole thing.


                            (note to self....first rule... no putting something in the box if there is already a can of it there.)
