Budget Box Pass

Ok. Here goes (and I agree with Nate, that its hard to match prices...)

Take #12 Quintero Quintero Panatela Sep 06 ~ $2.32 $2.34/cigar, typo assumed.
Put #64 Famous Nicaraguan 3000 ~ Torpedo ~ $2.35
Analysis: ($46.99, ) = AVG $46.99/20=$2.35

Take #7 José L. Piedra Petit Cazadore Jul 08 ~ $1.90 $1.72/cigar, 42.88/box, prices 46 39.76.
Put #65 Indian Tabac Maduro ~ Boxer ~ $2.18
Analysis: ($54.50, ) = AVG $54.50/25=$2.18

Take #62 Cuesta Rey Pyramid #9 ~ $5.14
Put #66 La Gloria Cubana Serie R ~ #6 ~ $5.40
Analysis: ($142.95,$129.95,$129.95,$129.90,$129.95,$126.99,$ 129.95,$124.95,$126.00,$124.95) = AVG $129.55/24=$5.40

Take #63 Oliva Serie G Special G ~ $4.22
Put #67 Ramon Allones Small Club Corona ~ $4.28
Analysis: ($113.95,$107.00,$139.00,$103.00,$95.20,$83.16) = AVG $106.89/25=$4.28

I'm happy . I came up with all the same figures as Irish79, so corrections are in blue. Puts aren't affected.

As for price matching, it helps to have a large variety of cigars, and to have a cigar inventory on a spreadsheet/database with price paid. I only keep records for box/bundle purchases - so the starting lineup of the pass came out of box purchases . Also, in other passes, you'll often see some folks grossly over-put and/or make extra puts; if one puts a $20 cigar in place of a $10 cigar, there usually won't be any comments ... except in this pass .

One thing that does come up occasionally in other passes is how dupes of cigars are handled - e.g. if there's a Short Story in the pass when one gets it, then one's puts generally shouldn't add another Short Story - unless it's a Maduro. Other passes may start with dupes, e.g., the Avalon pass mentioned earlier.

Irish79, you're up!

When you smoke them, it will be interesting to contrast the Quintero with the RASCC. BTW, would you know the date stamped on the bottom of box for the RASCC, please?

Craig, (and all other pass participants),

Is it cool if Dan and I meet on Thrusday this week to do a handoff? If not, I'll mail this mofo monday or tuesday.

Thanks,
Will

Thanks Craig.

I have tried some....ummmm.... the box has been decimated down to about a dozen right now

They're very nice to me. Maybe I'll tone it down, and see how they come out by next year...Mabye

Ah. I hadn't seen a review .

Given you like the way they taste now, just smoke them . You may not like the taste as much next year. (If so, then wait another couple years - at least that's what I tell myself when that happens to me .)

Looks good so far. Please have a look at the pass when you get it in case you'd like to adjust your p/t's, and I'll finalize then.

FYI, I would've discarded the $39.20 low price on the Londres Extra as an outlier, but that has no effect on the p/t.

I left my memory stick at home today (dope!), on which are my spreadsheets, so I will post my proposed takes/puts tonight after work.
