A Pass Deux

madurofan

you're a stand up guy and known good trader. no need to get approval. You'll be last on the list so you'll just be sending back to me anyways.

Maddy...do y'all have room for one more or is it too late to jump in?

madurofan

We always have room for another good trader Andy.

Bad Andy

Awesome...thanks. I am starting a new job but I work evenings so getting to the post office should be pretty easy.

madurofan

Still waiting for the package to make it to Canada(laker). That can take time.

Looks good to me dep. Let me know what you think of that Habano #3, I ordered a 10-pack of those and didn't really care for the one I've smoked so far but everyone else seems to love them.

Tried the Habano #3 friday night. Yea, it was okay, not as strong as I like but it was good. I don't think I would buy one.

madurofan

Kinda my opinion on them. I've given most of them away now but kept one for aging. I'll dig it out in a year and see what I think.

Sent. Also, I believe this is post #1,000... so if y'all will excuse me, I'm about to go step on that scale.

Your poor kids. I hope the scale is in the master bath.

Laker, man, you may have priced me right out of this game -- must be the exchange rate ... I'm not exactly rolling in super-premiums, and we've climbed from cigars in the $4-8 range all the way up to $25 sticks. I vote that Jozer gets to pull pricey stuff in exchange for regular-guy smokes if he wishes. He's always stepping up to trade with newbies, and I think he deserves a little extra thrown his way.

I never count dollars among friends. I say we apply that principle here.

I second that one.

...and I don't like to feel like a big mooch.

I don't think you're being a big mooch or anything of the sort. Obviously you are putting some thought into your participation in this game, a mooch would grab the best stuff and throw in a bunch of $1.50 sticks without any regard as to what they are or if they're even any good.

urbino

Izzackly. The birthday order you put together for me didn't win because it included the greatest number of super-premium stogies, which it didn't; it won because each of the selections was very thoughtfully chosen. Likewise, the thought you're putting into what you'll include in the pass is worth a good deal more than three super-premium cigars.

Scrambler

I figure as long as your puts are in line with what was originally in the package, you're in compliance with the spirit of the rules. I'm immediately downstream from you, and I certainly won't be upset with the selection if it's in line with what Maddy started this with. In other words, don't worry about it. Take what you want and put in what you've already thoughtfully selected.

rdnstn

I just want to echo what everyone else here has said already. IMO, as long as it's not trash that you are putting in, I don't care about the dollar value. I much prefer somebody put thought into their selections than worry about if it costs the same.
