The Empire Strikes Back...the pass

[jlada]

Just as a heads up, these are the sticks that will probably be on the chopping block when it's my turn to post P/T.

7 - Anejo Shark (P: Bully1875, T: )
18 - God Of Fire 2006 Carlito Blend Double Robusto (P: Bully1875, T: )
40 - Opus X El Escorpion (2008) (P: BigJake6904, T: )
45 - GoF Carlito Robusto '06 (P: markmarksman, T: )
55 - Tatuaje Frank (P: lherzolite, T: )

 

[bully1875]

Switch the Hemingway Maduro as a put for the La Riqueza and the Opus power ranger as a put for the Triunfador. That should even things out, yes?

Ok, so...

T: 6 - El Triunfador - $9.00/ P: 58 Opus X xXx $9.25 - GOOD
T: 9 - La Riqueza # 3- $8.00/ P: 57 Fuente Hemingway Classic Maduro $7.25 - GOOD
T: 26 - Johnny O! shagfoot $8.20/ P: Partagas Churchill '00 $7.96 - GOOD
T: 32 – Ashton VSG Wizard $11.75/ P: 60 Avo LE09 $14.30 - GOOD
T: 53 - Illusione Holy Lance $7.68/ P: 61 San Cristobal Fabuloso $9.00 - GOOD

These all look good to me.. We will leave it as is for the night to see if anyone has any comment then feel free to ship it off.

Thanks,
Brian

And it's off again!

Inventory checked out fine, everything's there. I took out my card. Am I supposed to post what it is? I took the "Rules of Draw & Stud Poker" card.

I really thought I took that card out.. If you did not take the package to the PO yet pull another card...

Thanks for the quick turnaround..

By the way, my Put/Takes coming this evening from work or tomorrow some time.

 

[jlada]

Just worked 14 hours. Bleh. Here's some prelim swaps I did off head:

7 - Anejo Shark ----------------------------> Cabaiguan Guapo Maduro
18 - GoF Carlito Double Robusto -----> Casa Fuente Pyramid #2
40 - Opus X El Escorpion ---------------> DAGA Sun Grown
55 - Tatuaje Frank ----------------------> Padilla 32 Oscuro LE Torpedo

Might add one more for a stick that's calling my name.

Cheers for now.

Nice... Here we go..

T: 7 - Anejo Shark - $9.25 ----------------------------> Cabaiguan Guapo Maduro - $9.50 - GOOD
18 - GoF Carlito Double Robusto $20 -----> Casa Fuente Pyramid #2 - $26 - GOOD
40 - Opus X El Escorpion $69 (This is the price it was traded for) ---------------> DAGA Sun Grown - $60 - QUESTIONABLE
55 - Tatuaje Frank $13 ----------------------> Padilla 32 Oscuro LE Torpedo - $29 - GOOD


So far so good here, however the Escorpion (reguardless of MSRP) was traded at $69, therefore (to be fair) it must go for at least that price. The DAGA is very desireable, but im not sure this one will work. Lets get some info from the crowd.

 

[jlada]

I think you are mistaken. The Escorpion was traded for a Chili Pepper in this post.

T: 3 - Opus X Chili Pepper from Opus 22 '08
P: Opus X El Escorpion (2008)

This particular Chili Pepper will run you ~$45 - technically $43.18 I suppose. Same with the Escorpion. I'm not quite sure where the $69 dollars came from.

Your right... I went through the post's a bit more and found that same information..

I have made the adjustments. Let's give it a few hours for some comment's and then we will be set, unless you decide to add/remove some P/T's.... Thanks again for clearing that up.

55 - Tatuaje Frank ----------------------> Padilla 32 Oscuro LE Torpedo

Damn you. How am I going to fill up that box of franks now.

 

[Gonz]

I'm a bit confused, can someone please help me understand what the deal is with that El Scorpion?

They have an msrp of around $45ish, as that is what was established with their release in the newest Opus 22 set, right?

Where are we getting the $69 value from, and where was it stated/established that $69 was the price it was traded for?

It has always been a standard protocol for passes, regardless of the pass rules, that msrp and rarity dictate the value of a cigar, not what you (not point at anyone here, just using that term broadly) paid for it. For example, if I was foolish enough to go out and pay $15 for an Anejo Shark, that does not mean by any stretch of the imagination that I can trade it for a cigar with an msrp of $15.

The MSRP is 45ish. The 69 looks like a mistake. I agree with you on the comment on pricing. I.e. A BBMF should be valued at about 60-75 not the 125 that Casa charges.
