    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.

    The box came back with the label mostly ripped off though conveniently with the return address mostly intact I'll run down to the PO today and get a new box and resend. I want to hang on to this one in case I need evidence to get a refund for the wasted shipping. Sorry for the delay y'all!

    Holy ballz! Figures it's going to mailman too....
    That's why I put insurance on it when I mailed. Not implying that anyone else needs to do that of course, but it just gave me the heebee jeebees.

    I put hefty insurance on it though some of the contents aren't really replaceable. I don't want to hold up the pass while the USPS figures out what they did wrong. I understand the cost of shipping with them is pretty low but, given the hassles I repeatedly bump into when using their services, so are my expectations. No offense to any members

    PS: The contents are fine. Just the shipping label got fucked up.

    You do insurance??? You will do that - until the day you try to file a claim on missing cigars...
