One thing I was thinking about with my proposed takes -- I'm dramatically depleting the ISOM-ness of the pass (5 ISOM takes, 1 ISOM put). I'd like to swap out one of the picks in red below -- I'd like to get a sense of what the pass participants would rather have left --the Mac or the Gurk -- either is fine with me. I will switch that P/T for the one marked in green below, which will result in 3 ISOM takes and 2 ISOM puts. Still a deficit, but not as dramatic. Thankfully, this pass didn’t require ISOM for ISOM as I’ve been wanting to try the JLPs, PLs and Quinteros, just never acted on the urge – and I certainly couldn’t have traded an ISOM for them considering the price differentials with the ones I currently have in the humi. I’m glad this pass was set up this way – thanks again, craig, for running this.

One thing to note: the Mac is a 7.5” tubed cigar that probably comes in a bit over 8” whilst tubed – I suspect it won’t fit in the designated tray, but I’m sure we can figure out a solution.
