This may be too ambitious but I would love to trade out a lot of my lower end smokes for significantly less of higher end ones. I've compiled a quick list of what I have availalbe although the quantities vary from 1 to 20 of each. I just haven't had time to do a complete inventory. I do know that I find myself with way too many sticks and I tend to only smoke the higher end stuff now so If I can turn 20 into 1 that i really like I would be a happy man. What I am looking for would be higher end, short to medium length, FAT ring guages, medium to full bodied, and figuardos are cool too. To give you an idea my favorites are CAO Brazilia, AF Hemminway, Partagas Black, La Gloria cubana Series R, etc.. If any one needs their humidor filled back up and is interested email me at:

WOW ...

Fuente, Astral Talanga Valley, Cuban Parejo, El Rey Del Mundo, La Perla, Trilogy and all those Perdomo ...

... lower end smokes?!?

When you say Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva ... which one are you talking about? Most all (no matter what vitola) will say Gran Reserva on the band ...

I'm working on Penguins tonight and will see what all is left after that and get back with the other interested parties. Peter, you would be next. One minor change is the Consuegra isn't available, I just got that in a trade and haven't tried one before. Sorry about that, it got off my "keep" list accidentally.

Rasta --- put it back on the 'trade' list ... you'll see what I mean when you smoke it ... LOL!

BTW --- you didn't tell me ... when you say Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva ... which one are you talking about? Most all (no matter what vitola) will say Gran Reserva on the band ...

I almost lit it up on the golf course this afternoon but did a LGC Series R, Bacannero Classic, CAO Amazon and a Partagas Black Label Piramide instead. Yes...I know I smoke too many, too fast...but I did shoot 39/42!

I'm not sure about the Gran Reserva, I think it is a low end version. I picked a a couple the other day when I bought a box of AF Hemmingway Short Storys. They were only a couple of bucks each...not the Short Storys, the Gran Reserva.

Ok. I'm on my way to the PO. I have these boxes going out today:

Mark
William
Kevin
Peter

You should all have your tracking numbers via email. I still have a couple of outstanding emails showing interest but no addresses to ship to. If I have missed nayone let me know so I can fix my mistake. Some of these boxes are pretty full so there aren;t a ton of bonus sticks and I think I forgot Kevin's extras completely.

Trading is fun but a lot of work sometimes.

You are way to efficient!
I am heading down to pack tonight and will send your package out tomorrow via UPS.

Why UPS? The only thing worse than USPS down here is Robby's feelings towards Hillary..

My end arrived today. Great selection. Ambitious indeed!

Thanks much Rasta. Yours went out priority today. Hopefully it won't sit in this brutal Houston heat too long. Let me know when it arrives.

Everything is out and I have received many packages back in. This was more ambitious than I first thought but I had a really good time doing it and I received some great sicks in return from many new trading buddies. Thansk to all that participated and my appologies to Wright (I erroneously sent his package of sticks to someone else)...I've got a "I'm Sorry" trade proposal out to your email Wright.

Folks -
Rasta went above the call of duty, and being my first trade.. I worried that I shorted him.

How did he respond? He sent me another bomb!!!

I dont think I'll trade with him again, he is so generous, it leaves me feeling inferior. j/k.

Next time it's my turn!

Happy Herfing John.

Don't believe him, his package was awesome and he deserved a few "extras".
