I'll also add that of course, 10yo OpusX and Padron (and others) are clearly worth more than paid for at the time, but nothing is worth more than what someone is actually paying for the goods. Squishy, at best...

Good discussion and I appreciate your input. The "golden rule" of CP is "thall shall not profit from a brother ". All good until the off shore cigar prices went full bozo. So, if I bought the box of CoRo's for $500 ($20 / stick) and the going rate at auction is $2500 ($100 / stick)....and if I...

...very fair, and reasonable. But let me ask you, if you found Grandpa's Shelby AC Cobra in the garage he paid $3800 dollars for, would you sell it to me for the same price...?? Should I sell you the box of CoRo's I paid $500 for, for that price when they're going for $2500 every day on BR...

Thanks, brother..!! This'll fly tomorrow, I'll post numbers and smart ass parting comments at that time..... 🤣

Really appreciate the comments, guys..!! It's in the container, on my bench in my office, waiting for the okee dokee from the smelly one......

....ok, using solder of that size with components of that pitch / pad size is felony PCB abuse.... 🤣 Also, that's an SMT (surface mount tech) PCB, so the solder gets put on as a paste before the assembly goes into an IR oven for reflow. So, there's that.....:rolleyes: Almost like I did that...

....???? No comments, suggestions, concerns, anger, joy....??..... 🤣

OK, first stab at some P's and T's - if any of this looks off, PLEASE let me know: T - #1 - ARFCOM 300BLK P - #1 - DT&T Muestra De Saka NLMTHA T - #16 - Tatuaje Corojo T110 P - #16 - Tatuaje PCA 2023 T - #21 - Foundation Olmec Maduro Toro P - #21 - Bond Roberts BR-109 Linea D No. 1 T - #22 -...

It just doesn't seem complicated to be civil. It's like showing up at someone's house for the first time, plopping on the couch, feet on the coffee table, and criticizing how they run their household. Jeez, if the 'entry fee' was too much, maybe just keep moving along..?? Whatever. I'm...

Sorry for the delay, I'm going through the pass now, P's and T's to be posted ASAP.....

That hits me very funny because of the time my wife and I were in a vineyard somewhere, listening to the guy talk about some bottles we were purchasing. Tells us "....over the next few years, they'll really open up...". My wife and I looked at each other and cracked up..... 🤣 Probably not very...

....and that, as they say, is that.

If your goal was to low key insult a solid member over a great deal, you've achieved that quite well. Demonstrated your unwillingness to learn the ropes and get along with the folks who post here. Now it seems like your just digging for effect; trolling, it's often called. Did you come here to...

Interesting question. For smokes from the forbidden island, the actual selling price on BR seems a reasonable metric. Rare and collectable stuff, be it cigars or cars or whatever, is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Usually. Most of the time... :) I keep vacillating on selling some...

Happy to be in on this, and I agree, it's big fun to see who wins. Michael, a sincere thank you for running this...!!

...nice..!! Congratulations..!!

Sounds amazing, have a fantastic time..!! A 'bucket list' trip for me, to be sure.... :cool:

The many variables considered, seems like historical real prices are about the only valid metric. What the price is on paper means nothing if the actual selling prices are far different. Price below actual selling prices would be cool to know...😎

People have forgotten how to disagree. Used to be, we don't agree on xxx. Now, you're filth, deranged, etc. Frustrating, at least. The folks i keep close can have a discussion, but by and large... reasonable discussion is gone. I don't have the answer.
