Star in a Reasonably Priced Car Pass

[Marco-Polo]

Sorry guys, work's been a bitch. Just got home from work today (it's a few minutes before 9pm ... and I leave for work around 7). Pass is good. Nicely done.

 

[ironpeddler]

I'm on the top step of the dugout ready to take the ondeck circle.

Brian, you ready to head to the plate?

Jay has a 3-2 count and the runners are going on the pitch!

Ok so what do you guys think of this:

T: 89 Padilla Obsidian Belicoso / P: 99 Genuine Cuban Counterfeit Churchill (Robust long lasting smoke.That's got a spicy somewhat ISOM kick to it)
T: 81 Padilla Miami 8&11 Robusto / P: Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Consul (Full bodied smoke that is rich in flavor) *** I know there is already one in here, but its one of my favs and Im sure it will go. If it's no good let me know and I will replace it.
T: (NO #) Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne Robusto/ P: La Flor Dominicana DL 700 (This monster MUST be smoked after a HUGE meal. Great flavor and very strong)
T: 66 Padilla 68 Toro / P: Camacho Conojo Maduro (Very different from the normal everyday Camacho line, dark oily skin gives it a great aroma, full bodied)


Let me know...
Thanks for having me..

Brian

Contest over.

Here is one of the solutions given to me

Yes, there are 3 equilateral triangles, but was not the solution I was seeking.
The correct answer used all the sticks.

Those who played. Thank you.
The winner will have the sticks mailed out today. You will know who you are within the week.

I gave this some thought and figured it had to be one of those "thinking outside the box" solutions. Can you post what the answer you were looking for was?

 

[Marco-Polo]

T: 89 Padilla Obsidian Belicoso / P: 99 Genuine Cuban Counterfeit Churchill (Robust long lasting smoke.That's got a spicy somewhat ISOM kick to it)

I see the GCC churchill for $57/25, with the Obsidian for $99/20. Out.

T: 81 Padilla Miami 8&11 Robusto / P: Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Consul (Full bodied smoke that is rich in flavor) *** I know there is already one in here, but its one of my favs and Im sure it will go. If it's no good let me know and I will replace it.

Padilla averaging about $160/20, Joya de Nicaragua about $85/20. Out.

T: (NO #) Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne Robusto/ P: La Flor Dominicana DL 700 (This monster MUST be smoked after a HUGE meal. Great flavor and very strong)

Perdomo about $130/25, LFD about $110/20 - this one is in.

T: 66 Padilla 68 Toro / P: Camacho Conojo Maduro (Very different from the normal everyday Camacho line, dark oily skin gives it a great aroma, full bodied)

Padilla about $110/20, Camacho Corojo Maduro from $105 to $140/25 - this one depends on vitola. Probably in, maybe out - let me know the details.

There are so many differences here that I'd like to know what you're using for pricing. I'm just eyeballing using google, but I can see some very wide gaps in there. This is a more relaxed pass, so I'm looking at the balance of prices rather than enforcing a strict like-for-like, but make it easy for me and everyone else with as much like for like as possible.

I gave this some thought and figured it had to be one of those "thinking outside the box" solutions. Can you post what the answer you were looking for was?

Hint: Two "regular size" 1x1x1 triangles, 1 "double size", 2x2x2 triangle.

[Smokin'Sims]

Did the correct answer have two triangles that consisted of 1 match length sides and another that was two matches per side?

The Corojo Monarca (most popular in that line) is 5X50 in size. There is a Churchill at 7x48 ($5.30) and a Centros at 6.5 x 44 ($4.45)...looks like you have a hybrid :laugh:

They're all close in price...I was just wondering which one you wanted to trade.
