I'm happy . I came up with all the same figures as Irish79, so corrections are in blue. Puts aren't affected.

As for price matching, it helps to have a large variety of cigars, and to have a cigar inventory on a spreadsheet/database with price paid. I only keep records for box/bundle purchases - so the starting lineup of the pass came out of box purchases . Also, in other passes, you'll often see some folks grossly over-put and/or make extra puts; if one puts a $20 cigar in place of a $10 cigar, there usually won't be any comments ... except in this pass .

One thing that does come up occasionally in other passes is how dupes of cigars are handled - e.g. if there's a Short Story in the pass when one gets it, then one's puts generally shouldn't add another Short Story - unless it's a Maduro. Other passes may start with dupes, e.g., the Avalon pass mentioned earlier.

Irish79, you're up!

When you smoke them, it will be interesting to contrast the Quintero with the RASCC. BTW, would you know the date stamped on the bottom of box for the RASCC, please?
