Getting your feet wet Pass II

[vinnyvega]

T: #42 Opus X xXx P: #65 VSG Robusto

Anyone who want's to trade me, stick for stick, OpusX xXx for all my VSG's let me know.

I was thinking the same thing.

For those of you that feel the need to start questioning everything I do in this pass, how 'bout a pm regarding your displeasure instead of trying to make me look like I'm an ass in public. If I remember correctly, you guys are the newbies here, not me.

I apologize Jonesy. That was not my intent. PM will be sent regarding this subject.

 

[Bsneed51]

Thank you sir. As soon as this lands with me, I'll get those swapped out and get it back on the road quickly. :thumbs:

Hey, Sneedy, thanks for taking that Liga 9!

Hey, Sneedy, thanks for taking that Liga 9!

Hey, you had one, and said the flavors were too muted for you. It's not my fault that you don't know a damn good cigar from a dog rocket. :laugh:

Not my intent either. I've already PM'ed you as well.

I'd like to apologize to you all for my seemingly short temper this past week. There's been quite a bit of drama going on in the pass as well as posts made by myself and some of you that shouldn't have been made. Pm's have been sent to handle this privately and to also apologize for my harshness. This is a learning pass and questions are going to be asked. I welcome all questions and suggest you ask as many as you feel you need answered. What you don't have, is the right to question the decisions I make in this pass. If you have a question about something I do, ask away and I'll answer, but don't make a post that doesn't ask a question, but is questioning something I have done or decided on...that will not be tolerated.

Let's get back to having fun with this pass! :thumbs:

Cigar List has been updated.

It looks like you missed adding my last put. 71) Casa Fuente Corona Gorda. Unless of course you meant for me to take the Padron 1926 #1 for free. :laugh:

The pass showed up on my doorstep today. I have made my puts and takes, checked all the interiors and the humi paks, packaged this back up, and it will be on it's way out tomorrow morning. I'll pm and post the DC# once I have it.

Brian, I have a few questions about pricing.

When we go to Cigarcyclopedia.com and check the pricing, how do we determine the correct price? I know about adding the prices together and then take an average, but there are a few examples I want to bring up.

Example: Tatuaje Noellas prices went from a Hi/Lo of $210 to $159 a box. I added the two together, divided by 2, then divided by 25(per box) to get $7.38....is this correct? Or do we use all the prices, add them together, divide by the number of each, then divide by the number of cigars in the box?...like the math in the next example....

Example: Davidoff Winston Churchill Chequers was not listed there, at least I couldn't find it. I searched the Internet and found 3 prices for the box, $320.60==>$303.75==>$337.50...I added the 3 together, divided by 3, then divided by 25(per box) to get $12,82...should we be doing this?

Example: Padron 1926 #1. On the list is 3 prices, $480==>$480==>.$575. Do we throw out the $575 as being really high and just go with the two $480 ($20 per) prices or do the math involving all three and average it out?...$21.32 per stick.

As a rule of thumb, if we see one price $50 to $100 more per box, should we throw that one out and just use the rest?

Under what circumstances could we use Vitolas.net pricing?

I hope I'm not getting too anal, I'm just trying to get a handle on this once and for all.

Thanks

Good Question Gary. For the Comparision Shopper, if there are 3 or less prices for boxes, average the prices and then divide by the number of cigars in the box. For cigars that show 4 or more prices, drop the high and the low and average the rest and divide by # in the box. For cigars that don't show up in the C.S., do just like you did and try to find 3 online stores and do the same math as above. If you do have to do that with a cigar, then please pm me your sources so I can check them out also. For Padron, Opus, Anejo's, and Hemi's, we will strictly be going by MMM's MSRP guides and I will determine rarity if one isn't being traded for another. As far as Vitola's.net, we won't be using them at all (sorry Moki). I want everyone using the Comparison Shopper so were all on the same page with pricing.
