The Spring Break Road Trip Pass

I just got the pass in the mail and went through the sticks, and there is some significant wrapper damage that #75 Camacho 10th Anniversary 6x60 must have incurred during shipping. I'll hopefully get this back on the road before the PO closes.
 
Here are my final numbered puts and takes. The beads look fine, and I added some padding to replace some popped fill air packets. It's packed back up well and on the road!

I'm not doubting that it was fine when it left you. I didn't get a chance to take any pictures, and the pass is already on its way, but there are a few large cracks in the bottom half of the wrapper. They may have been started by a too tightly wrapped foot band biting into the stick, and each bump during shipping may have made them worse.

I asked Five to post this because I wasn't sure if this is considered ok. I would lean towards yes, however I wanted to see what everyone else thought, so please share your opinions.

Haha, I was excited to see that Pat didn't snap it up, so how could I pass it up as well? :whistling:

I have seen culebras as puts and takes and they always seem to count as one cigar. I believe that you'd be good on one for one and value for value, but I thought we decided against the inclusion of CCs in this pass. Then again, I'm not sure that Johnny-Os are counterfeited all that much. :rolleyes:

According to the comparison shopper database box prices, the Oliva is a $4+ stick, while the Mayorga is less than $3. However, the same database shows that one can get 5 packs of the Oliva for $2.50/stick, which is significantly less per cigar than the box price. This indicates to me that the P/T is a good one. The others look dead on.

What does everybody else think?

These look good to me as well. I too was unaware Johnny-O's are Cubans. I have been for the past week and will continue to be until saturday in New Orleans working with Habitat for Humanity but I am trying to get on here and stay up with the pass as much as possible. So far everything looks to be going great.
 
Whatever happened with the contest? I forgot all about a second entry...not that I'm looking for more studying to do this summer.
