Oh yes. And one of you may be designated to be the murderer. If that turns out to be the scenario, then the murderer is the one who wins if he or she is not caught. In that case the DM can't win, but also doesn't have to ante up cigars.
What should the ante be? One cigar? A fiver? And what era would people like to play in? Who's in for a murder mystery pool?
5'er is the easiest...a single cigar will turn into a fiver anyways

I am game

I'm in. A 5ver works for me, but I'd like it to be a 5ver the person sending is comfortable with, except if they want to send dog rockets. I only say this because I dont have that many Premium cigars in my humi, but have a couple lower-mid level cigars in my humi.
How does everyone feel about that?

I personally don't care, since I'm 99% likely to not be smoking any of them. If there's enough players, it makes more sense to make a player character the killer, which means no possibility of a "house win".
I can always put a few items of mine into the pot that will make it a sweet prize even if some players don't send all-premium cigars.

I have the play-by-post murder mystery rules drafted. I'll put a poll up to see who might want to play and what era they might want to play in.

The game is likely to run for several weeks, and you will be able to watch the story unfold here regardless.
