Spring Draft, need names

[TheSilentChamber]

If nobody else is interested I'm just going to call it off.

Reminds me of my free christmas sampler. I had to bump that thread up a few times


Come on people! Gonna have some good cigars in this draft! I know it!

I guess nobody wants to play, so its offically a no-go.

I say start small and lets have fun. I am interested and after we enjoy the sticks we can start again.

I'll try it again in a few months, think everyone is still lacking money from the holidays. April or so may be a better time.

I, too, would not mind getting in on some sort of draft. My only confusion is the stipulations-

"Each person sends in FOUR nice sticks with a VALUE OF ATLEAST $8. Remember this is msrp, so make sure your not sending in a very over priced stick you got at a local shop."

Is this a per stick MSRP? If so, where is there a reference point out there to find individual MSRPs? If not, is it based on a box MSRP price divided by the number of sticks in that box?

Examples:

-I think the LFD DL chisel is a fine smoke. I buy these for $7.49 individually, so it would not qualify for this draft.

-I also enjoy CR Centro Finos- Sungrown and Cameroon (when I can find them). These retail here for 7.00- again a non qualified smoke.

-A Montecristo White Label runs me 10.75 a pop (tobacco tax here runs 35%), but at a box price they would average out at around $7.95. Would this not qualify?

It would be easier to skip past the strange amount of $8 per cigar and jump to $15 and up.

Suggestions to get more participation:

- Put a range on the smoke value: i.e. $7-$12 per stick instead of a hard cutoff.

- Maybe solicit a wish list from draft participants before the smokes are offered into a central repository? This would separate an associated cost from what people actually desire and enjoy and removes MSRPs and individual area taxes etc. from the equation.

Thoughts???
