Hey Guys...well I sat down over a good cigar and picked through the box. Thom I am very sad to report that the Torano Tribute isn't going to work. It looks like maybe the bag was a little small (it was in there sideways) but the wrapper is coming undone big time. So I moved it to a roomier bag..but left it. Man I had my sights set on that one! Bummer!! Here is what I did:

Takes:
Bauza Pyramid

Puts:

La Gloria Cubana Series R 52 X 7

Indian Tabac Limited Reserve 50 X 7

Rick

Nice moves Rick! Nice of you to take the battered and wounded tribute and replace it with a good one! Hopefully someone will bring some tribs to the herf tomorrow so I can trade for some!!

Dave

I was concerned the Trib may be a tight fit when I sent it to Thom and obviously it suffered. I'm sending Crabby a perfect specimen since he was gentlemanly enough to take damaged goods out of the rota!

Nice move Thom....if your coming tomorrow you could just bring it then? And if you are anyone else has extras...I'm willing to trade for one tomorrow as well! I was really looking forward to that one! LOL. Hey....I didn't even know Rick had one or I might have tried to talk him out of it!

Dave

Well done Rick. And one heck of a guy for taking in a limping cigar and replace it.

Look at those puts! Now I see why I needed the bigger box and turnberry's help. 🙂

Dave- I think you meant turnberry not me in your last post.

oops...of course...doh! Cause you are coming aren't you? How you turnberry? coming down? Oh come on now.....Oh yeah....I have been looking all over for a pink sweater to wear...no luck, so I guess you just have to look for the guys with too much cigar crap with them!

Dave

I'd love to come down an meet you guys on Saturday but if I don't work on taxes this weekend it will compromise my Spring Break trip with family to Phoenix in about 2 weeks. And I am reeaally looking forward to some warm weather golf and cigar time on the terrace in shorts and tee-shirt!

I really think you should just bring your taxes down & we'll all help your with them...should be done in a couple hours or so. Guaranteed to get you something back. Wattya think?

come on down!

Rick

Tempting, very tempting. Fundraiser for the tax liability shortfall check maybe? 🙂

Turnberry,

My wife's a CPA and with enoght cigar going my way I am sure I can talk her into doing the taxes for you 🙂
Dave, I got your Trib, no sweat I will bring it tomorrow, make sure you bring some very very nice sticks for it 🙂

Andy

Fred,

I am the Treasurer for a wholesale lumber company and also have my own accounting business with my wife. She is a CPA and a CMA and has been doing individual returns for about 7 years. I started doing individual taxes just this year. Working on doing corporate taxes by next year. If you need any help with the load let me know. Also, it would be another excuse to get together and herf! Sounds like I might be late, but if not you know how to reach me.

Castlewa trying to steal business form me...... I need Fred's price cigars!!! JK 🙂
