    Package arrived safe and sound. The water pillow looks a little haggard (brown tinge) so I will be replacing it. Here are my proposed P/Ts. I will await word from Mr. George before proceeding:

    Take: Alec Bradley Pyrme/ Put: Graycliff Chateau Grand Cru Presidente
    Take: BTL/ Put: AF Hemingway Untold Story Maduro
    Take: Casa Fuente Churchill/ Put: Opus X Perfecxion #77 Shark
    Take: Consuegra/ Put: 5 Vegas Miami Torpedo

    Any feedback from the community on these? I think the Casa Fuente for the Opus Shark may be off/unfair in favor of the Casa Fuente being of higher value. I am struggling to find a firm MSRP for either of these. The shark cost me $22, but that would be above MSRP as I got them locally.

    Also, who is next? Am I circling back to Sean or forwarding to Cigar Bear?

    I thought that Opus Shark was a HTF around 50 bucks.

    Vitolas has the casa fuente at about 25.

    Looks like - when you can find them - the Opus Sharks are a bit cheaper than a Casa Fuente Churchill, although not an ungodly difference. I personally don't think it's a bad trade - but would like to hear from the others in the pass.

    Otherwise all looks very good!!!

    The casa was 24 or 25 when I got it there in Feb. I think the 77 is actually higher value wise just because finding it at msrp is next to impossible. You can always get a Casa, you just have to make the trip!

    So I got stuck doing tons of ridiculous stuff today and ran out of time to look at things and here I am trying to decide what I want to do and my brain is just numb. I will have to sleep on it and get back to it tomorrow.
