Sounds good. I'll pull some more info together this weekend. Sounds like we're good for a half box at least.

If there's room I wouldnt' mind an opportunity to participate, and you'd take a chance on someone who has yet to complete a trade through this forum.

It's not that big of a chance since you'll send your money to Will first and then the cigars ship. No pay, no cigars, bad reputation. :smiley18: From what I have seen, most transactions go off without a hitch here. :smiley32:Quote:

Prices:
7x50 Churchill ~ $280/50 + Shipping
6x52 Torpedo ~ $312/50 + Shipping
6x54 Toro Grande ~ $280/50 + Shipping
5x50 Robusto ~ $225200/50 + Shipping ($4.50$4.00/smoke + $8.00/6peeps = $1.33)
So, what size are we thinking? Personally, I'd be interested in the Toro (votes:III ), or the Robusto (votes:IIII )
Looks like we'll go with the Robusto.
Here's who's down sofar (correct me if I'm wrong...)
Corvin ~ 10 ($4.50x10+$1.33+$10.40=$56.73)
Myself ~ 10
TravPSU ~ 5 ($4.50x5+$1.33+$4.80=$28.63)
EGQ ~ 10 ($4.50x10+$1.33+$4.80=$51.13)
K7 ~ 10 ($4.50x10+$1.33+$4.80=$51.13)
Rugby ~ 5 ($4.50x5+$1.33+$4.80=$28.63)
Corvin ~ 10 ($4.00x10+$0.00+$10.40=$50.40) Paid DC LJ520800919US (Recieved)
Myself ~ 10
TravPSU ~ 5 ($4.00x5+$0.00+$4.80=$24.80) Paid DC 0103 8555 7497 2408 4949 (Recieved)

Rugby ~ 5 ($4.00x5+$0.00+$4.80=$24.80) Paid DC 0103 8555 7497 1728 2932 (Recieved)
That works out to a complete box. Let me know if you want to change your quantity. I'll call today, get their shipping prices, and tally up some costs. Also, I'd prefer a money order. PM me if this is a problem. I need addresses too.
Had to update the prices, as the vendor billed me a lesser amount than the quote he gave me. Those guys.:smiley9: Anyway, for those who already sent payment, I can send you a cash refund, or $6.33 or $3.83 (10 or 5 sticks respectively), or I can send along a comparable priced smoke. You choose.
Thanks,
Will
If it ends up being the low side (30) I can take another 5 if needed.
-Andrew
You can put me down for 10 of either the Toro or the Robusto.Quote:

I'm flexible as well -- I could do a 5 or 10. Slight preference for the robusto based on typical time constraints for smoking.
I like robusto.
When would y'all like to pull the trigger on this? I'm heading to Cape Cod with the wife, kid and dogs for a week but will be back next Saturday afternoon. If need be I can send out a check today or tomorrow morning but after that it'll be a week.

Thanks,
Will
I really appreciate that. I just didn't want to hold anyone else up so I figured I'd at least offer to get funds out today.
I've updated THIS post.
Just an FYI, we don't have to do a full box. They told me once you're over 20 sticks, the discounted rate (posted) is effective. I believe its 10% off.
Thanks,
Will
Ok, I called to setup the order for a full box, not hearing any objections.
I updated the above thread with Click-n-Ship discounted shipping & final prices.
Thanks,
Will
What size did you end up ordering for us? never mind, missed the fist line of the link...MOO...
Got your PM. This will be a great treat for when I get back from the cape.
Thanks again for running this.
- Andrew
Great / terrible news.
My card statment yesterday said $200 instead of $225 for the box.
This means refunds are in order. I updated this link again with the revised info, but the cliff notes are this:
10 = $6.33 refund
5 = $3.83 refund
If you didn't send payment yet, adjust your amount. If you sent payment, I'm offering a cash refund, or a cigar of comparable price.
Thanks,
Will
I got home today and there is still no package from the vendor.:smiley18:
I called and they claim to have sent it Saturday (although I thought they said it would go out monday....)
I'll keep you guys posted.
Will
How did they ship it? No tracking?Quote:

I have a feeling they forgot to send until Tuesday or so (or maybe today)
Will
Hmmm, I wouldn't think they would send parcel post, and I don't know if you can get a tracking number without using priority. ?. Anybody else know?
I checked my statement again. They didn't charge the transaction until monday 8/3/09.
If they shipped the same day....I would think they'd be here by now.
Shit. I also realized now that didn't charge for shipping. It was just a straight charge of $200 for the box.
I'll have to adust the refund sheet again.
I feel for Mark on that other split. And especially for DG. What a cluster.
Will
Maybe you're expected to pick them up in person?
Thanks Dennis for the re-assurance:smiley36:Quote:

I hope the sticks arrive in good shape. That being said I guess its kind of worked out for me that I've been away this past week. Will I'm going to stops off at the post office for MO and send payment on the spot Monday morning. Once we figure out what the final (lol) bill will be.
Thanks again and sorry this has been so stressful!
- Andrew
you can get tracking with Parcel Post...any parcel can have tracking put on it.Quote:

Got my end today. Man, they look good. The label is really cool, too.
Thank you, Will, for doing all the work! It's greatly appreciated.
Mine arrived today -- thanks, Will.
I'm jonesin' for another split...
Since I was planning on replenishing my ISOM stock, I thought I'd ask if anyone is interested in a split. Any suggestions?
I'd be interested in a split of that variety...Quote:

Id be in for a few as well.
Based on some PMs, here's what I'm going to porpose for the box split:
Bolivar Royal Coronas -- about $6.60 per smoke 20/25 accounted for
ERdM Choix Supreme -- about $5.52 per smoke 20/25 accounted for
JLP Brevas -- about $1.60 per smoke 25/25 accounted for
Trinidad Coloniales -- about $7.07 per smoke 30/25 accounted for
Thoughts? Other suggestions?
I'll update periodically -- can always add a box if need be
Sent you PM
You thinking a variety of those?
I'm thinking a box of each -- obvioulsy price may fluctuate a bit -- hopefully we can get critical mass for each box and come up with enough folks to account for all 25 sticks. I'm personally hoping for a 5er of each, give or take.
Mix and match, 5er of 1 or another -- whatever works for you. If we don't have enough interest in any of them, I'll likely just drop it from the order. I'm also not opposed to ordering smokes suggested by others -- again, if we can get a critical mass for a box, I'll order it. I just don't want this thread to get too out of control.
