Emerson,
Let's see if sweetening the pot gets a few more bids tonight. If the either of the Xiphos kits go over $150 today I will add a four-way tabletop cutter to either or both kits~! :shades:
Show 'em a pic E~! :biggrin:
QuoteMcBryde - 12/23/2019 9:47 PM
I received my kit #4 today that had a bonus "5-er" to go with it. Looks like Adam, BewareDaPenguin, knows his "Geek Math" pretty well! I really appreciate the cigars Adam! I have had a few of them, but have not had any in the package on the left. I'm looking forward to trying the Camacho as well, not one that I have had either. Heck, who am kidding, I'm looking forward to trying them all!
Thanks again Adam!
Emerson
