    I think the takes are worth more than the puts (I changed your quote to show my analysis), but I was kinda out of line on my analysis of the last round...

    None taken! That's why I asked. How about:

    Take: Padron 1926 40th Anni/ Put: '00 Partagas Lusitania
    Take: AF Untold Story/ Put: Opus X Perfection X

    I'm curious about the Lusi. They're only 10-15 bucks when bought fresh. Now, a 2000 is going to be hard to find, no doubt, and so its vintage price is most likely going to be equivalent. I'm fine with it, but I'd leave it up to george on the dollar vs. value/htf side of things.

    The Untold Story/Perfecxion X is a good pairing!

    My view - the Partagas Lusitania is normally about $10-15, depending on where you pick them up. So - I'd say under normal circumstances it would be somewhat lopsided. However - because the Lusi has 10 years age on it, and it is somewhat of a "desired" cigar - I think you're in the ballpark for a 40th Anny.

    I personally think it's a good trade. I leave it up to the others in the pass for their opinions.

    Are you calling the value of $25 for the 40th good ? Not in the pass, so I'm asking for my own edification and not questioning the approved trade.

    I'd say value of 40th at MSRP is good because though it's hard to find, it's not out of production so to speak, and they're are plenty available at various B&M's around the country (at least NYC and Chicago area). They're also delicious. I think technically MSRP is like 29.99 or something, but still, fair value. I've loved them as much as my 80th anniversary maduros, I got those at 23/stick.
