CP's "Cigar 101" Newbie Pass 5

[Anthem]

Nice takes there Los. I must admit though other then the Pepin Black I am not familiar with any of the other put's.

Nash if that La Aurora Preferidos Sapphire gets to you take it, it is an awesome smoke to be sure.

i love them i was going to offer nasty something for it on the side.:laugh:

THREAD JACK

Damn your kid is cute from such an ugly fugger, your wife must be beautiful :laugh:

[NASTY]

I thought I had a Sapphire tubo, it's actually an Emerald tubo. Sorry for the mixup and I blame Anthem for being such an ass.

Los, was that supposed to be a T/P or indeed a P/P?

 

[Anthem]

Not to answer for the idiot, but it is common to add a few extras in there, so I am presuming put and put.

 

[NASTY]

Yeah, they're both a little extra low cost smokes to help with the inflation :thumbs:

 

[jy0567]

Well as the last person to get the pass before I ship it back to Greg, I wonder what the chances of that Emerald Tubo still being available for me. Man i love those sticks.

 

[4cbln3]

Are those 2 extra puts by Los (thanks for showing us how it's done bro') available to the pass participants?

Also, If anyone wants to put something in there for Greg, do we put it on the list with an "H" for host? Excuse my newbness :blush:

BTW, the La Aurora Emerald is super tasty IMO :thumbs:

 

[jy0567]

Normally the extra puts are available in the pass. Any cigars intended for the host should be put in a large ziploc bag labeled for the host. Those cigars should not be touched.Anyone can add to the host bag.

 

[Kingantz]

Alrighty then. Some comments for discussion.

T: Tatuaje Noella Reserva $7.20 - Does anyone feel there should be any rarity added to this cigar? Can anyone find a box in stock anywhere? If so, please PM me asap.
P: Don Pepin Black Figurado 1973 $7.63

T: WOAM $7.90 - The actual MSRP on this is $8.35, which is more than likely not what most would pay for these. I would say there's a bit of rarity value as well as you can't just go out and buy a box.
P: VSG Tres Mystique $8.80 - Due to there only being one price on Cigarcyclopedia, I went searching and found a number of online vendors and came up with an average price of $7.80 ea. I would also say there's no rarity as they are readily available at numerous places.

Tower $192.00
Serious $189.95
Tex Cigars $171.95
NH Cigars $184.99
Famous $172.99
CI $211.20
Total $1,123.08 divided by six avg $187.18 per box divided by 24 sticks


T: Opus Petit Lancero $11.00 - Definitely a rarity factor in this cigar. What would be a good guess for the actual average price these cigars go for today?
P: La Aurora Preferidos Emerald - It looks like $11.31 is a good price, however there's no rarity for this cigar. Does $.31 make up for the rarity value of the Opus?

T: Padron 3000 $5.00 - I found $4.32 based on Cigarcyclopdia (maddie?)
P: Cuesta Rey Centenario Pyramid No. 9 Natural $5.15

P: La Aurora Barrel Aged #4
P: Illusione cg:4

Don't forget to add the numbers!

 

[Nashkicker]

Thats right Los put that Woam back!

Greg how do you calculate the value of cigar rarity??

FYI us New Yorkers are paying around $14-16 for the Opus Petit Lanceros

 

[4cbln3]

On the subject of rarity vs MSRP, if I took the OPUS PL, do I put in something of higher current value like say a GOF or maybe a new cigar release of higher cost?

BTW Jamie, I'll make sure to put in an Emerald in there for the return trip, can't guarantee what'll happen before it gets to you :whistling: :laugh:
But if you don't get it, PM me after the pass is done.

As per the syllabus, your "puts" should be equal in value/rarity with your "takes"...or better. I would prefer to not put in a higher priced cigar to make up for rarity, but one that at least equals the rarity. It is understandably difficult to do this in a newbie pass as some may not have a cigar to match rarity. We'll discuss as we go.

Due to what Greg has pointed out, maybe there should be some rarity factor added to the FFOX PL. Although I'm no expert by any means. Like Nash said, many people pay almost 50% over MSRP on a regular basis cause they're a bit harder to find. Just my $0.02


P.S. - I didn't want to upset anyone, but Los doesn't count!

:laugh: Growing up I've been kicked out of 3 high schools so getting the BANHAMMER here would be embaressing to me. Although, friendly debates I like. Those changes look good for me.

I got kicked out of 3 also LOL
After spring break, I stopped attending #4

 

[4cbln3]

What are the odds of that coincidence? Looks like you had a problem with authority too :sign: :sign: :laugh:

And Ben and I found out we have the same birthday, so this pass is going in a great direction!

All but the Opus/La Aurora trade looks to be okay. Do you have something that can match the rarity of the Opus PL?
