Hot Potato " with all the trimmings" Pass

[badwhale]

My analysis:

Padron '26 ($14-$15) ; Cohiba IV ($11-$12)
Rocky Chicago ($?) ; Monte 4 ($7ish)
GoF ($20-$23 (EGQ $13.50)); Opus X ($13)
Macanudo ($15-$20 (EGQ $10)); DPG ($6)
SS ($5); Torano ($5)

I'd say you're feeling generous today.

My analysis:

Padron '26 ($14-$15) ; Cohiba IV ($11-$12) -- a couple years of age on the Cohiba should be worth a buck or two...
Rocky Chicago ($?) ; Monte 4 ($7ish) -- the Chicago Reserve retails for $6.50 -- still iffy...
GoF ($20-$23 (EGQ $13.50)); Opus X ($13) -- an all the trimmings for an all the trimmings -- my price point was $13.50 so this stays in that range for the pass...
Macanudo ($15-$20 (EGQ $10)); DPG ($6) -- my price is $6 or $6.50 (box of 20), so it stays in that range for the pass.
SS ($5); Torano ($5)

I'd say you're feeling generous today.

My biggest problem is a dearth of cigars in the $8 to $12 range -- plenty under $8, and way too many over $12 (I blame the box splits). I'm certainly not trying to escalate the prices here, and I think the Cohiba is really the only one where the value argualbly goes up in a significant way.

One more thing -- I have a box of Macanudo Jades -- they're 20-25 years old -- one of those has to be comparable to the Ashton VSG, right?

Not hearing any strenuous objections, I will coordinate with Jaime and get this out as soon as possible.

I'm going to have to sit out Ed, too much on the plate at the moment.

No worries -- I'll send Paddy a pm (but I think he's off galavanting around Ireland, Mexico or the Ivory Coast...). We're going to have to scrounge up some new names if this is going to be perpetual.
