EGQ's p/t:

Take: #6 Oliva O M Torp, $5.59 - Put: #47 AF Hemingway Signature $6.40 (pd)
- current market value (CMV) of the O Mad and AF are $5.59 and $6.50, respectively.
- $6.40 value for the AF used.
So, 0.41 over

Take: #38 La Aurora 1495 Churchill, $7.67 - Put: #48 RyJ Belicoso May 2008, $7.59
- CMV of the La Aurora is $7.75 is higher, so the original put price of $7.67 is used
- CMV of the RyJ is $7.60. $7.60 used because I assume the difference is due to rounding.
So, 0.07 under

Take: #9 JLP Conserva, $1.72 - Put #49 Nestor Reserve Maduro Torpedo, $1.86 (pd)
- Conservas - I had $41.25, $75, $55, $44.02 and $32.16 as prices. $75 dropped, so the average price is $1.72
- Nestor CMV is $2.00. $1.86 used.
So, 0.14 over

Take: #39 El Titan de Bronze SG Redemption Lancero, $4.20 - Put #50 AF Hemingway Short Story, $4.60 (pd)
- ETDB @ 4.20 is the put value. $5.20 is the CMV
- AFSS CMV = $4.96. Paid value of $4.60 is used
So 0.20 over.

Take: #18 Partagas Salomone, ~$20.00 - Put #51 Casa Fuente Double Robusto, $22.00
- From the first two pages of a Yahoo search: 218 179 189 189 210 140Euro 249 225 191 Average price is $20.49
- Put value is CF MSRP from Moki's site: $22
So 1.51 over.

Take: #19 Por Larranaga Montecarlo, $3.71 - Put #52 Graycliff 1666 Presidente, $3.80 (pd)
- I got the same value for the PL
- Graycliff - I picked up 4 prices - 239.95 199 269.95 199.95. I dropped the 269.95, and got $10.65 as an average price. Thus, the paid value is used $3.80
So, 0.09 over

Please put the 1666 in a sandwich baggie or single baggie, etc., and then place it. About a year ago, a bunch of these had beetle issues. I don't know whether one batch of cigars was affected, or one bale of tobacco, or one order sent to one vendor, or what. Better safe than sorry. (Beetles don't eat plastic)

Take #23 Montecristo #4, $5.35 - Put #53 Macanudo Vintage 2000 I, $5.38 (pd)
- p/t withdrawn - Take number assigned to:
Take: #44 Ashton VSG Tres Mystique, $8.18 - Put #_53_ Partags Serie P No. 2 ABR08, $8.23 (pd)
- CMV of the VSG is unchanged at $8.18
- CMV for the SP#2 is $8.59, so put value of $8.23 used
So, 0.05 over.

Take #25 Por Larranaga Petit Corona Cab, $ 4.46 - Put #54 Gurkha Legend Anniversario, $4.58 (CI has them 12 for $55, which is less than I paid)
- CMV of the PLPC is $4.47 ($ 219.00 $ 244.95 $ 201.63 $ 239.00 $ 279.00 $ 230.00 $ 200.75 $ 235.43 $ 218.23 $ 221.01 - with $279 dropped). Like the RyJ, I assume the penny is rounding error.
- Pricing Gurkha can be interesting. MSRP is $120/6 . The aniversario is a size unique to CI (as a wholesaler). CI's normal selling price, and the price at websites that affiliate with CI, is $55/6. However, CI has been blowing them out at JoeCigar for $30/6, and now offers $55/12 as a B1G1. Using the B1G1 price is reasonable, so $4.58
So, 0.11 over.

So, all p/t approved. Thanks for playing! Please post which squares you want, and CigarSarge - the last stop on the westward leg of the pass - is up!
