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.Originally Posted by ggiese
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.

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 intactI'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!

ToddFigures 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 membersHoly ballz!

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...Holy ballz!

I guess you're saying that that doesn't work...I wonder why? I don't usually do insurance on shipping stuff, but like bear was saying, some of the stuff in there is just irreplaceable. I was more preparing for the scenario that the box & contents were damaged.You do insurance??? You will do that - until the day you try to file a claim on missing cigars...
George, if you're telling me no matter what I'd be SOL with insurance on cigars, I won't bother anymore.

I thought about that...after the fact. Having not filed a claim through the USPS, I wasn't sure if I'd have to produce the damaged contents. I figure shame on me for not thinking about the prohibited contents but I s'pose it's a donation to the beleaguered postal serviceYou do insurance??? You will do that - until the day you try to file a claim on missing cigars...

USPS will not pay claims on missing/damaged cigars. I've even seen a very badly damaged humidor claim denied. From what I've seen - it is not worth putting insurance on the package - save the money and spend it on cigars!

I got the package in today, and they all looked fine.
I have to say that on Friday my wife lost her ATM card, and now we have about $5.00 left in the account. I am going to have to spend some time on the phone to dispute these charges.
How about I just send the cigars out to the next person in line so I don't hold anyone up.
Sorry guys.

That fucking sucks Keith! Good luck with the disputes

Sounds like a PITA.
I'm not speaking for everyone in the pass, but how long do you think it would take before you could do your put / takes? I mean, I don't think there's a requirement to turn it around in one day.
