OK, Fed Ex left, and I just blew a fortune on a box of these beauties. While I am probably not looking to trade these out, I decided to test the waters and see if I can get some interesting offers of some of my all time elusive friends.

1st off, Robby gets a couple for already supplying me with those beauties for my trip.

If you have any of these, let me know and I'll consider parting with a few of these ultra rare beauties.

- Fuente Untold Stories Maduro
- Partagas 150 in larger sizes
- ISOM MonteCristo edition Limited 2001 (Robustos or Double Corona)
- Maybe some large Opus X
- Fuente 858 SG's

Email me at [email protected] if interested, let me know what exactly you would like to trade. I plan on keeping these babies for quite some time and apologies now if I don't accept all trades.

OK, I recieved 2 emails already (Never got yours Xibumbero).

I regret posting. I value these cigars tremendously, and overpaid for them. Now I am getting emails with generous offers from people I have read about as being overly generous and great folks and I can't pull the trigger. Let me tell a quick story.

In 1995 I won the USOC lottery for opening ceremony tickets (2) to the 1996 olympics. I sold those to a friend for $3,000 and 2 bottles of Dom Perignon. I held a party for 40 friends, had it catered and served the champagne instead of going. The next day I found out that my tickets were at the entrance to the stadium where all the athletes first entered in the parade.. He described all of them crying with emotion and how moving it was. It was also within feet of where the Olympic torch was handed to Muhamad Ali.
I have regretted that trade to this day.

So, I have decided to post what they are worth to me a little more specifically and if it seems like too much, I apologize and can only say that they are worth that to me (For what I paid, I will not be profiteering) ....
I will trade :
- (1) AFCSG and (1) Premium (FFOX or Ashton VSG or..) for (2) Fuente Untold Story Maduros. [5 times]

- (1) AFCSG for (2) ISOM MonteCristo Limited Edition Robustos(Or bigger and I'll add premium) [3 times]

- (1) AFCSG and (1) Premium (Ashton VSG or..) for (6) 858 SG [2 times]

That leaves me with 15 if I consumate all those, and I decided that Robby deserves more than 2 for being the most generous Herfer I will ever know, so 4 coming your way.
That leaves 11 and I can't limbo lower than that.

I'll leave this open until fulfilled, so if you get a chance at x-mas to get your hands on these, send me an email.

In the mean time, I hope that ya'll understand, and I would prefer to be trading with each of you on the other side in other deals.. It is much easier seeking than holding!

Peace

I'm suprised that you were able to get a whole box.

There were several stores in Jersey that were contest winners and had boxes of these (the furthest being 1-1/4 hr drive). I ran around like a maniac and was able to get 17 of these beauties. All the places I went to were treating them like gold and limitting each purchase to 2 at a time.

I have traded/gifted 11 of them, smoked 1 and have the other 5 "resting" for future use.

It is a truly awesome smoke...

All sound like very generous offers, except for 'maybe' the - (1) AFCSG and (1) Premium (Ashton VSG or..) for (6) 858 SG --- being a little too steep, IMHO.

... considering that the AF Flor Fina 858 SG is no longer in production (2002 being the last release, according to Carlito) ... that makes it a pretty rare and elusive cigar in itself ... and they also go for a 'pretty penny', if they can even be found ...

But ... like you said ... this is your deal, and you are letting them go for 'what they are worth to you' ...

... so go for it!

You may be right.. I looked on another site and it looked very easy to get abox of them for 180 to 200 bucks. So that is what I based it on.

Update - Xibbumbero just snatched 4 of them!
