    Sum = 1606.42; Stick = 6.4258 ~= $6.43
    Typo? King B is still good in any case.
    Sorry about the math. I don't know what it is, but I did the math for that RASS 5 or 6 times and came up with something different each time. On cigarcyclopedia, one of the amounts that was supposed to be US currency is listed in Euros, throwing me for a loop.

    Thanks for the tips about smoking times. I'm a patient man......

    The trip through LA shouldn't take too long (remember the last time, Rich?). I'll keep close tabs on the DC#, and have a flexible enough schedule to run home. The PO is just down the street from work. I'll try to be quick.

    Default mrtr33 Pass

    Here's my analysis:

    (Rich's changes):
    Take 1 ~ Worth:$6.06 Put 29 ~ Worth: $7.12
    Take 3 ~ Worth:$5.87 Put 30 ~ Worth: $6.24

    (Mark's puts / takes):
    Take 2 ~ Worth:$4.27 Put 37 ~ Worth: $4.58
    Take 29 ~ Worth:$7.12 Put 38 ~ Worth: $7.72
    Take 32 ~ Worth:$4.38 Put 39 ~ Worth: $5.20
    Take 15 ~ Worth:$3.43 Put 40 ~ Worth: $3.98
    Take 20 ~ Worth:$2.00 Put 41 ~ Worth: $NFC (No Clue)
    Take 21 ~ Worth:$8.14 Put 42 ~ Worth: $14.28
    Take 27 ~ Worth:$6.43 Put 43 ~ Worth: $6.68

    Seems I may have something f'd up with Take 21. I only found one source on google, and it had a box at $357.00, but I see Mark found a much, much better deal

    My price for Put 42 is what I paid for it, which ended up being below MSRP.

    Package arrived today. Currently inspecting contents. Then I'll swap out my p/t's, and take it with me to work. Unless there are objections, I'd like to turn this around today.

    Thanks again for hosting this, craig. Unbelievable job so far.

    Just noticed a problem.

    The Graycliff Gran Cru Presidente will not fit in the slot for the RP Olde World Reserve. Requesting changing thie Graycliff out for a DPG My Father #2.

    Will hold onto pass until I get approval. Sorry about this, everyone. Just to note: The maximum length of the Triple Corta tray and the Long Stick traytray is 6.25". Just FYI

    My Father #2
    220.95 233.95 233.99 233.95
    It works out to be $10.03

    Sorry again.

    I see no problem, Mark.

    And yes, Craig did a great job putting this together and packaging this pass for its journey.

    Thanks Craig.

    Sorry again.
    Does the Angel 100 fit in the shorter tray? If so, you can switch its physical slot with the Grand Cru on the longer tray.

    Otherwise, the DPG is good instead.

    Thanks, craig, for allowing that.

    I guess my only concern with that swap would be the affordability of the tray in general. Keeping in mind the rule of only swapping out 2 sticks per tray, I guess I'm more concerned for those later in the pass. I guess we could still consider the Angel part of the Long Stick tray, and the Graycliff still part of the Long Filler tray, but that looks complicated.

    If it's okay, I think I'll just put the DPG My Father #2. Makes it a bit more simple.

    **EDIT** One more small thing, just to keep up communication. I accidentally marked the La Aurora 1495 Churchill as stick 37 on the sheet, and the Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Robusto Grande as stick 38, instead of the other way around as noted in post #82.

    What numbers did you put on the stickers on the actual sticks?
