I actually thought of that (briefly) however, I couldn't be involved because opportunities for myself obtaining Cuban smokes are so far in between..I just finished a box of montes #4 (and approx seven to eight other assorted Habano sticks from a Casa Habano store)that I've had since June 99..Would love to get some more...Great idea though..Only problem I see is the possibility that one or more participant(s) from the group depositing fakes (either purposely or, in most cases, unknowingly...If I had better access to them, I would love to do it.
