[Kingantz]

Sorry for the late reply Greg, I am getting the pass from Gavin and I spoke to Mike/Wavescrashing and we will do a handoff/herf when i'm done with my P/T's.

Here are some P/Ts for consideration guys,

17. Casa Fuente corona gorda $29- TAKE
82. Casa Fuente Belicoso $29?- PUT (I can't match this with any other maker in my humi other than a different size. No sense getting back your own cigars, eh? )

86. CAO LX lancero $5.89 - PUT

53. Tatuaje RC 184 $16.50 - TAKE

92. Viaje Perfecto Squared Oro $9.50 - PUT (I could only find 2 vendors that sold this, so I averaged both of them)

Dave

51. Arturo Fuente Queen B $5.25- TAKE 5.49
86. CAO LX lancero $5.89 - PUT 5.97

53. Tatuaje RC 184 $16.50 - TAKE 17.17

92. Viaje Perfecto Squared Oro $9.50 - PUT


Couldn't really find a lot on the Viaje other than $450 for a 50 cab ($9). I'm good with all of your t/p Dave! Anyone else have any thoughts? (crickets chirping)

 

[wavescrashing]

These seem good to go. I'll start calculating my puts and takes so I can post them after Dave's are given the thumbs.

Greg, I used the pricing for the Takes from the previous members' calculations and our collective inputs. I figured no sense in re-creating the wheel if we had already hashed it out.
My puts were not always based on the comparison shopper, one being I don't always use them as vendors. I did try to use vendors like Uptown and Tower since they may have been the vendor I bought some of my cigars from that ended up in my Puts.

Sorry I veered from the rules of using the comparison shopper, that's probably why our numbers aren't jiving. Here is a breakdown of my Excel sheet that I used to calculate my averages. Just so's you know I didn't pull those values I posted out of my arse. :laugh:

If you think the LFD/Dirty Rat trade is way off, no problem, I can get another pick from my humi.
Also, same goes for the MB3 churchill/Cruzado trade.

I am headed out to watch my little one in a parade, so I'll check in later tonight.

<edit- for wrong cigar, SB the Queen B taken >

 

[jnknzz]

That's some serious P/Ts. Nice work, Dave.


How easy to come by are the DirtyRats? I haven't seen 'em locally...

 

[4cbln3]

I got lucky as I ordered some Singulares from Isy and he had some in his store. He has a thread going on in the Retailer section, hopefully they are still left.

If you can't find any, PM me and I'll send you one to try!

 

[The Green Monkey]

While I don't know whether it will be an issue or not, I figured I ought to let it be known that I'm going to be out of town from 12/20 through 12/31 or so.

I don't always use the CS, especially if there's only one or two prices listed. I went through and researched all the T/Ps on CS and/or several different vendors online, and listed the pricing I found. This is where I would hope participants in the pass would step up and either agree or challenge the pricing I came up with.

All your takes/puts look good to me Dave! Good to go!

I just took my baby girl to our town's parade this morning and man am I give out!

Okay, the numbers you see in bold are current to the spreadsheet. I found my mistake, I forgot to assign a number to Gavin's Casa Fernandez Arsenio (#85). This re-post if from post #439 so the future recipients will have an easier time assigning their P/T's.

[Kingantz]

Looking for some Take/Puts! Dave, you handing off? Herf happening? Where we at?

 

[wavescrashing]

I'm waiting on Dave. Once he gives confirmation that it landed, I'll post my puts/takes, and we'll meet up soon after for a smoke and boxpass.

 

[4cbln3]

Pass hasn't landed yet, I'll PM Gavin if he has any info on it.

 

[Gavin]

I'll try to find the D.C. # when I get home from work tonight.

 

[Gavin]

I was getting charged up the butt for postage, so I'm afraid wth the option I took it's not even expected until thursday, the 9th.
Here's the TN: 9102148008600448777314
Sorry for holding up the Pass, brothers.

 

[Kingantz]

There goes me not paying attention again. I thought it had already landed!

 

[The Green Monkey]

Dave's not here, man.

 

[whopper]

Dave's not here, man.

Huh? ???

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Pass is still akimbo?!? in limbo.

I had been in touch with Gavin and the pass is still in transit to the islands. With the holiday shipping going on the USPS is overwhelmed and even a cigar shipment from Florida (not Isy's shop) took longer than expected.

Much thanks to Gavin for standing in line during the holiday season and getting this shipped out, my feelings are this situation will become norm.
