Here are my Puts and Takes-


Take ~for~ Put

12 - Opus X BBMF Maduro from Opus 22 '08 ~for~ 48- Hoyo de Monterrey Particulares Edicion Limitada 2000
22 - Cohiba Sig VI '03 – unbanded ~for~ 49- AVO 22 Euro Edition (from canister #241 of 2000)
29 - Monte # 2 '06 ~for~ 50- Punch Punch from 2006
51- Partagas Series D #4 from 2007

I am not right on the money for the Hoyo, but I am pretty confident they where close to the Opus 22 value when they sold fresh, but I could be wrong, so do not etch it in stone. Either way they are expensive now. I have seen them go for $60-$80 a piece if you can find them.

I am going to make one more pass through the box once this is finalized and I will let you know on the VSG :) .

12 - Opus X BBMF Maduro from Opus 22 '08 ~for~ 48- Hoyo de Monterrey Particulares Edicion Limitada 2000 - Still can't find MSRP and I paid $50 for the BBMF, but I like the rarity and im sure the MSRP matches. - GOOD

22 - Cohiba Sig VI '03 – unbanded ~for~ 49- AVO 22 Euro Edition (from canister #241 of 2000) - GOOD

29 - Monte # 2 '06 ~for~ 50- Punch Punch from 2006 Punch Punch - Found a source where Monte #2 is $11.08 and Punch Punch is $9.32 - Big gap and rarity is not really a factor here.. Let's discuss this furthur or put a different stick in. - NO GOOD (For Now)

51- Partagas Series D #4 from 2007 - THANKS !![/b

If you want to match the prices with that site you need to look at the punch punch also..Punch Punch - $7.92 ea.

Still does not work out.

I am happy to delete the monte/punch if that is what we want to do :) . I was trying to place sticks in here that I think are worth the time smoking. IMHO the Punch Punch is a smoke that not many mention, but is a great smoke. Anyway I agree with the others. For the record the 2000 Hoyo is even more rare than the 2001 and will simply blow your mind, to quote someone else.

Jim, I'm leaning towards modifying the P/T's for this stick and I appreciate Ed and Andy stepping up with some great information, but were almost at a $2 mismatch and it is very debatable which is a better smoke between the Monte and Punch...

You can either change or let's here what others have to say about it.

Thanks,
Brian
 
Just throwing this out there, but....

After averaging all the prices for 9 and 10 retailers respectively from cigarcyclopedia, the Punch Punch comes to $7.28 and the Monte #2 comes to $9.05.

Thanks Jake..

I also feel the sticks are very equal in rarity and flavor... Im gonna have to turn this P/T down. Jim, Please replace it with a different stick.

Thanks,
Brian
 
I don't know if it is really a good idea for you guys to be openly posting sources for price comparison. I'm just sayin...
 
x3 Andy it might be a good idea to take that off...

These are not the sources you're looking for...
 
I am teaching right now, but when I get home tonight or the latest in the morning I will post a revision. No worries the pass is resting nicely :).

In the mean time, this open's a spot.

How about a contest???


First one to answer correctly wins (one guess per person, non pass members only please)...

Alright then! I will begin the wrap up process as I am pretty sure this is on track. Pending any huge issues this will ship out ASAP. PM to the next person and DC# to follow. Doc sorry you had to bow out, I hope all is well.

In the Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back DVD commentary, George Lucas explained that he got the idea of the AT-AT from the massive tripods from H.G. Well's 1898 novel The War of the Worlds.

Ok guys, let's welcome Brian and Jeff to the pass. They both got it right (to an extent) and why not add 2 more great BOTL to the pass... I will update the pass order soon.
 
This baby is outta here. Of note because I was not comfortable with the quality of my remaining PSD #4 I added an Anejo #55 from 2006 to the pass. I am sorry if this confuses anyone, but I wanted the stick to be of good quality and my few remaining PSD from that year are not :(. USPS DC#-

There was two of the VSG you made reference to as well.

On Wednesday's Jeopardy!, there was a category titled "Darth Vader, D.D.S." which, while not very difficult, was sort of funny. Here are the answers and questions. I've put the questions in white so that you'll have to highlight to read them.

$200: "Use the floss, Luke"; & Don't whine about it--the ADA says you only have to do it this many times a day
What is once?

$400: Referring to the sticky film that turns into tartar, Dr. Vader's practice is called "The Empire Strikes" this
What is plaque?

$600: Vader jokes that D.D.S. is "Dictator of the Dark Side" as well as "Doctor of Dental" this
What is science or surgery?

$800: I wanted these "royal" tooth-shaped caps on my teeth: Instead he gave me a mouth full of tiny black helmets
What are crowns?

$1000: The force is strong with this one--the hard, outermost layer of the tooth
What is enamel?
 
Looks like I'm next up. Here are my proposed P/T:

T: (4) Illusione eccj; P: La Aurora Cien Anos Robusto
T: (14) Coronado Double Toro; P: Illusione Holy Lance
T: (31) La Aurora Perfecto Ruby; P: Tatuaje Grand Conoju
T: (44) Tatuaje Black Corona Gorda; P: Tatuaje Frank

Let me know - Thanks!

- Phil
