There are a lot of threads here for favorite beer, favorite rum, favorite gin, favorite vodka, etc. Anyone up for trades? I've had fun sharing beer and rum, anyone else want to play? Here're my thoughts:
1) This would NOT be a box pass, it'd get too heavy too fast. I'm thinking MAW or PIF format. Wishes could be general ("I'd like to try an IPA") or specific ("I'd like to try Dogfish Head 90-min IPA"). PIF would be easier to track, but would require the participants aren't very picky.
2) PIF would follow the standard rules (get a package, then send a package). I think I like the 'open list' format for MAW (http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showpost.php?p=1596226&postcount=802). Grant a wish to post a wish, but if your wish is only partially filled, the rest stay active.
3) Three lists for PIF (beer, liquor, wine), one list for MAW.
4) There are laws regulating inter-state shipment of alcoholic beverages, each participant must be aware of and accept the risks involved with such a trade (just like the CC trades on this board).
5) Stogie 'hitch-hikers' may be included in your shipment but are not required.
I've done a few passes/PIF, but never a MAW so I'm not 100% sure that would work here. PIF is easy enough to pull off, but MAW would help John Doe get to try that Neisson Rhum Agricole or fancy single-malt Scotch he's heard so much about.
So is anyone interested in participating in either a booze PIF or MAW? Any thoughts on which route to take? Any other rules/improvements? Am I just a drunk and need to keep quiet instead of coming up with these crazy ideas?
