    Too bad it's such a hassle for brothers up North to host one.
    A draft wouldn't be that bad - depending on how many players would be willing to accept the risk. Shipping cost is higher than domestic, though.

    A pass is probably better. That would only involve two crossings. I could run one that covers all price ranges. I just need someone close-ish willing to be first.

    I said "what the heck!" - and in memory of a very great man (Master Roller Rodolfo Toboada Campa) at a time when he would most appreciate my thought (e.g. "just because") - I had a Toboada double corona I've had hanging around my humidor for about 7 years or so.

    Thank you Rodolfo - it was magnificent. I still taste it this morning!!! RIP and know you still are making people smile

    I doubt anybody south of the border would want to pay Canadian prices. I just looked online and the best price I can get on Partagas 8-9-8's is around $20 a piece. The worst price is $30 each.

    As far as non-ISOM's go, multiply your best price in the US by three and you'd get what I'd have to pay for the same cigar (if not a little bit more) *sigh*

    That's why none of us Canucks host box splits.

    That would be against CigarSmokers rules, eh?

    Besides, if I was doing a box split, then it would be on the Bolivar Petit Belicosos 2009 LE. They are getting incredibly high ratings, and the Canadian importer still has stock. I am pondering ordering a box to pick up on Saturday...

    However, they are also having a 'sale' on Party Shorts. Hmm. I have to get my order in today.

    Just sayin' ;-)

    Not everything has to be posted publicly to actually happen. Just sayin'.

    My 'losses' on non-public stuff is much worse $-wise than on public items. I don't go there anymore.

    That is disappointing.

    Sorry - let me clarify - it shouldn't be disappointing. I just have experienced better luck with stuff moving across the border in public transactions.
