It was an APO addy.
It just has to get through our system. Joe, I know it's fustrating, believe me. I'm checking my box everyday and when I get a notification that I got a parcel I run up hoping it will be the box. Two days ago, I got something that my wife ordered from Amazon. Thank God she wasn't with me when I said that woman orders to much crap from them! :smiley36:
I want it to get here so I can get it out to the next person.
I checked today. Nothing. I'll keep you all posted.

Mr. Postman is failing me now...:smiley7:

If you don't get the package within a day or two. I may have to be shuffled to the bottom of the deck. I'm leaving for Ireland in August to see my family, then straight to our home in Mexico for two months. I won't return to the USA untill the 7th of November.
Update...Nada. Checking tomorrow.
Lopaka
Today...nada.
I'm really beginning to hate Mr postman!
What a colossal kick in the crotch...
I hated him 2 weeks ago. I am really sorry about this guys. George if there is anything I can do to get this straightened out let me know man.
Quick update...
I'm on the road and in classes. I left 3 days ago. My mail is being put on hold and I'll be back to Germany the second week of August.
Hopefully, MR POSTMAN will finally deliver.

I have to get shuffled to the bottom on the deck. I thought I would have enough time to get it from Lopaka. I will be leaving August 24th and not returning untill November.Quote:

Sadly, it hasn't arrived and I'm not holding my breath. Prophetic_joe send me a PM and we'll get this started again. Sorry that it hasn't arrived so we could continue from Germany, however, I've lost faith in Mr. Postman to deliver this and this is gone to long.

Alright, the bracketed numbers are reference values for my own calculations -- I would give the ISOMs a marginal bump since they have 2 yrs of age on them, and I would bump the Opus' because of their rarity.
p_j -- should I send one of the Siglo IVs back to you or keep it in the pass?
Alright -- it looks like it was Lopaka who put this together and prophetic_joe was just the middle man. I pm'd Lopaka and haven't received a response, so for convenience we'll assume the extra Cohiba was a gift for me :smiley37: -- and my other clarifications are correct.
My proposed put/takes:
Padron No. 9 Maduro for a Cohiba Siglo IV (the No. 9 had a few bucks on the Siglo IV, but 2 years of age has me willing to make that trade)
Chicago Reserve by Rocky Patel for the Montecristo IV (this one is iffy -- the Chicago Reserve is only available at a local B&M -- feel free to balk)
God of Fire Carlito Churchill for the Opus X Super Belicoso (I scored the GoFs at auction and paid $13.50 per stick -- both rare, my price paid was similar to the MSRP of the Opus)
Macanudo Vintage 2000 No. 1 for the Don Pepin Garcia Generosos (Blue Label) (contrary to popular belief, these Macanudos are smoking very well and still selling in $20 range. I scored a box at auction about 2 years ago, and I paid in the $120 range)
AF Hemingway Short Story for the Carlos Torano Gold Double Corona Churchill (not much to say here...)
Thoughts/comments?
My analysis:
Padron '26 ($14-$15) ; Cohiba IV ($11-$12)
Rocky Chicago ($?) ; Monte 4 ($7ish)
GoF ($20-$23 (EGQ $13.50)); Opus X ($13)
Macanudo ($15-$20 (EGQ $10)); DPG ($6)
SS ($5); Torano ($5)
I'd say you're feeling generous today.

My biggest problem is a dearth of cigars in the $8 to $12 range -- plenty under $8, and way too many over $12 (I blame the box splits). I'm certainly not trying to escalate the prices here, and I think the Cohiba is really the only one where the value argualbly goes up in a significant way.Quote:

Not hearing any strenuous objections, I will coordinate with Jaime and get this out as soon as possible.
I'm going to have to sit out Ed, too much on the plate at the moment.Quote:

I thought it would just go back to George now, and start over?Quote:

I would say to give it to a neighborhood dog, but I like dogs too much to do that to them. :smiley11:Quote:

Honestly, EGQ - I know it's hard to part with a well aged Macanoodle, but you gotta give it up, buddy. :smiley2:

My mailbox has been cleansed...
Sorry for the delay -- the package went out today -- USPS 03100480000024698258.
Of course when I got home, I noticed a Mac on my desk -- 99% certain it was supposed to be in the package, so I'll be sending that separately.
