Add me as well -- thanks.
Ashauler and EGQ - added! :smiley20:
ok let's see if this works guys
1. Take -GOF Don Carlos 2006 robusto tubed / Put - Opus X Reserva D'Chateau
2. Take - LFD Factory Press II / Put - DC Maximus #2
3. Take - 858 Sun Grown 02 / Put - Camacho Triple Maduro Torpedo
So am I to assume no objections or is the resounding silence an indicator that I screwed the pooch on this one?
LOL. They didn't look objectionable to me, but I'm not "da judge" either.Quote:

Give me your thoughts about #3 proposed trade - The Camacho Triple Maduro torpedo vs. an '02 858 Sun Grown... I'm on the fence about that trade - but could be convinced with good reasoning.
The main reasoning behind it is that I'm really not sure how to value the 858 SG 02 so instead I looked at what was taken when it was put. Going by the value of the Anejo Shark (msrp of $10.25) I put in the triple due to it's msrp being around $10.50 or so. I forget the actual figure now. I wasn't sure if Ken was undervaluing his SG or not.
If given an estimated value of the 858 though I would gladly change my put to something that may be more in line.
(Found actual figure, Triple Maduro $10.90)
That's the challenge with Anejo Sharks and aged 858 sungrowns. Both are fairly hard to find cigars (some would even say downright impossible).Quote:

No they are not. If we are looking for a more rare cigar versus dollar for dollar would you consider a WOAM from 06 to be more along the lines?Quote:

George, I'll need to have this in time to turn it around by July 3rd. I'll be laid up for a couple of weeks after that. Feel free to move me down the list if it won't make it here in time.
Sounds good Jamie. I've updated our pass list, since it seems Mr. Lopaka is currently on a world tour and too busy for us... :smiley13:Quote:

My bad.
Lopaka
And I sent it off to him today before logging on here. I'm sorry guys. It should be to him in two days.Quote:

You'll just have to skip me again if it doesn't look like it's gonna make it George.

I don't want the "Potato" to sit in my house while I'm on the road. Darn last min missions...
We can play it by ear if you like. I just want to it get to Germany at this point. :smiley36:

BTW, kiddies - I will be heading out of town Sunday for a week. WAY out of town... I don't know what the internet situation is going to be - or if/when I'll be checking in. So - if you don't hear from me I'll likely be under some swaying palms sucking on a Mai Tai. I wish it was pleasure, but I will make due with what I have (i.e. conducting interviews in the Cabana). :smiley4:
I hope all of you behave yourselves while I'm gone. http://www.cigarsnobs.com/forum/styl...default/ag.gif
Yeah, I'm glad I'm in.Quote:

Okey dokey, let's see when it gets to Lopaka.....I can turn it around pretty quickly. If it gets to me anytime before July 2, I can handle it and move it on. I'd rather Lopaka get to make his trades since he's out of the country. Worse comes to worse, I'll leave instructions to forward it if I'm out when it arrives.Quote:

Just a quick update- I'm on my 2 nations tour and not expect to return until next Sunday. The wife will let me know when the box arrives. I'll post as soon as I find out. I hoping the snail will move fast this week! :smiley36:
Come on Mr. Postman!!
Lopaka
I just checked in with the wife and she hasn't check the mail in 2 days. She'll check it tomorrow, hopefully, Mr. Postman hasn't let me down!!
I'll be home in a couple of days so hopefully this will arrive soon!
Lopaka
It won't get to me in time, so you'll have to skip me. I'll get back in when I'm able.
That would put me next. Jamie I can email you the contents. If there is anything you really wanted I can trade for it, any we can square up down the road.Quote:

Jamie and Rob - please let me know if/when you want me to throw you back into the pass order.
GG, I maybe confused. I just logged on here to say that I haven’t received the box as of 30 June because PJ posted he had already sent the box.Quote:

I just don't want you guys thinking I'm keeping you out of the loop. Just figured a post everyday that it hasn't arrived wasn't a good thing either.

That's the last info on it.
I can tell you with the utmost surety. There is neither rhyme nor reason for the European post.Quote:

Paddy is correct. I've had things get here in 3-4 days and I just got something today that I sent for 4 weeks ago. It's got to get through our Military PO system. I'm checking everyday...
Today...nada.
If we reach week 4 and nothing has arrived, I'll start the pass over from here. I was telling my wife that I'm waiting for this box and the only thing that she said would stop it from getting here is if there isn't a custom form on it. It should get here!
Come on Mr. Postman!!
Lopaka
Keeping you all updated after the holiday break.
Checked this morning. Not yet...Mr. Postman is making me learn patience...bastag!
Lopaka
Mr. Postman is begininng to piss me off a little.Quote:

Putting DC on an international package is a waist of money. You will get NO confirmation of the delivery.
yeah DC was mainly to prove it was shipped. Still aggravating that it's been 3 weeks and no arrival.Quote:

was it sent to an APO or a German residence?
