    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.

    Ok - after Nate comes Lopaka. Where's Rob been anyway??? Speak up, Mr. Air Force dude, or forever hold your peace!!!

    I would like to add in Dr. Cox and Paddy to the pass - if they're up for it. Anyone have any reservations?

    I'm also looking for others that may be interested in jumping in. Any takers?
