3 Pricks, Giddy Asshats & a Flake pass

What Gary said, send them on their way!!!
 
fjldo, you're up, again! :thumbs:
 
On closer inspection as I was packing things up the Anejo has a little bit of foot damage.  Not enough to make it unsmokeable but I don't feel comfortable including it in the pass.  Is it cool with everyone if I replace it with the same stick but from '05?
 
Most of them look great. I was under the impression the angelenos was about 8-9$ and the illusione 888 maduro in the 8$ range. Am I a good shopper or am I easy to con ? Lol
 
MMMmmmm, '05 Anejo....

The only one I would question is the BTL for Padron. BTL carries a decent amount of rarity. CJ's call. The rest look fine.
 
It did seem to me that with a bit of searching you can find a few places to buy some BTLs.  CJ seemed ok with it so if no one else objects I'll go ahead and get these out.  
 
It actually appears to be ok with me, I think you're good to go. Are you switching out that Anejo?

Cool.  Yeah I don't want to send a damaged stick.  I'll get 'em boxed up!
 
First, I don't have a problem with any of the P/T's


Second, bluue, this isn't aimed at you, so don't take it that way.


Now, I find it kinda funny that so much hell was raised over a $20 cigar being put in the pass for a $16 cigar. All I heard was how it was going to increase the value of the pass and possibly put it out of reach for those at the end of the pass. How $4 was WAY too much of an overput. Now a $12 cigar is going into the pass for a $10 cigar and everyone ABSOLUTELY loves the trade! "Nice P/T's", "looks good to me", "mail 'em out", etc....This is a 20% increase whereas the Flying Pig/Padron trade would have been a 25% increase. Where's the uproar? Why is no one up in arms over this trade? I'll tell you why, because when you're looking at a lower valued cigar, you tend to overlook an overput, but with a high end cigar, your butthole puckers up because all you see is the end price.


Can you honestly tell me a regular production $12 cigar for an 8 year old anejo trade is going to fly? So add that MUCH more to what I'm talking about...


Let's be consistant here guys and not hypocritical. If you love a trade the increases a value by %20, then don't you DARE bitch about a $20 for $16 trade that has a value increase of 25%!
 
I see the point in CP 1st class prick commment.

Anyhow CJ called the shot so if he's okay with it..why not I guess no?

Thanks for noticing I'm a first class prick!


Not being a prick though, just making my point. You can't bitch about something and then have the same people turn around and love it two days later just because it's a lower valued cigar....

Read the last couple pages of this pass
 
The percentage valuation tends to fall apart at the extremes, high and low, which seems to be why people go more for a flat +/- x dollars. I think if someone put a $1.50 cigar and took a $1 cigar, no one would raise an eyebrow at the 50% markup. If someone took a $1000 (hypothetical) cigar, some may still have an issue with an $1100 put, despite only a 10% difference. CJ's asked us to try to get within 50 cents on underputs and a few bucks on overs, so ...let's do that, and get back to what this pass is really about: making fun of CJ.
