This is my first real pass so I wanted to bounce what I plan to do off of the vets and see if it seems ok.
Takes:
Oliva Serie V
Perdomo Reserve Champagne
Padron 1964
My Father La Antiguedad
AB Nica Puro
Total value I'm figuring is around $37
Puts:
Montecristo Media Noche
La Perla Habana Grand Pearl (w/ tube)
Varina Farms Winter Warmer
Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic
AVO XO
Total value is around $36.50 and each cigar is within $0.50 individually.
Are there any unwritten rules I'm breaking or any unfairness in what I'm thinking of doing? (I'll of course add a tip stick as well)
I worked out the value of the puts and takes, using Cigars International box price per stick (when available, had to use
Cigars.com for the La Perla).
Whether this is a fair swap or not depends largely at this point on which vitolas of the Media Noche, Cuban Classic, and AVO you are putting in. Since you didn't say, I worked out both the high and low ends. If you are putting in the larger/more expensive vitolas, the swap is pretty fair value wise. If you are putting in the lower cost vitolas (robusto, corona) then the swap is a little short on your side.
The Padron is the highest value stick you are taking, and the Media Noche is the highest value you are putting back. If you are putting in the torpedo or the churchill, the media noche is only about 50 cents less than the Padron. If you are putting in the robusto or corona, it's fairly far off, and you may want to consider taking something else, or subbing in a put of slightly higher value.
I'm not the pass moderator, so this is just my take on the situation, based on the info given.
