What does everyone down the line think of this? It effects you more then me. We just really need to do solid cigar for cigar trades. The two CC are fine but what about the Graycliff?

Looks good to me. I've never had a Graycliff, and am open to trying everything once...

As far as the NC trade goes, the Padilla's are solid smokes, I love them, never had a Graycliff, but if we are going by the MSRP rule, then it is more than fair:

Tat = $20

Padilla $13
Graycliff $12

(the last one is an approximation and they are from cigar.com)

When I set this up I had two email's; basically about two for one trades. The main point of the emails where when the box got to them there wasn't anything special left. I really want this to be fair for everyone. Personally I dont care, it seems like the group is fine with this. In this case I wasn't worried about the price of the two cigars equaling msrp but the rarity of the cigars. RC184’s aren’t readily available at every B&M. Where the other two are much easier to obtain. We basically went from an ESG to a RC184 to a Padilla and greycliff. since the group is fine im fine but think about the guy that wanted the ESG and then said ok I’ll try a RC184 and now has a greycliff and Padilla to pick from. Hope this makes since.

My actual thinking on the trade was that the graycliff and tatuaje were pretty similar. I paid 80 bucks for the 5 pack. I just threw in the padilla as an extra. I thought the tat was a regular production cigar so I thought it was fair. I wasn't trying to add up to a certain amount or deprive anyone of anything rare. I just wanted to try the rc 184 and thought the graycliff was appropriate. IF it is a matter of people not liking the graycliff or thinking they are not worth the money than let me know. I have others that I could substitute. For the record I personally would rather have the graycliff than an ESG. Just my thoughts IF the group would like I can remove the CN portion all together of sustitute something else.



Go Steelers!!!

Scott, your comments do make sense. But there are still a lot of fine non-cubans in the box. Ultimately, it is your call, but for what it's worth, I'm OK with it.

It is your call. You know what you wanted when you made the rules.

Seems alright to me...I've never had any of the NC's in question so I won't claim to know if one is better than the other, but the final decision should rest with Mr. Hobbs...can't wait to see what happens with this box in it's next few stops... Big Grin

If that God of Fire is still in when it makes its way to me, I'm gonna pull a blockbuster trade off Big Grin

I think it would be a fair trade for an 03 Cohiba EL, don't you?
