first line up

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

so time to start narrowing our choices so we can come up with the first batch for next month's buy.

remember that our budget is $850. nominate 5 boxes that you'd like to possibily get and then we'll argue like bitches until we settle the grouping :smt043

I only know that manuel has the RyJ EL Robustos for $325 at the current value of the dollar. Of course he has free shipping as well.

just to make sure, is our goal always/usually going to be getting 5 boxes for the $850. Makes sense to, IMO, but just wondering.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

scott -- well try to get as close to $850 as possible. so shit, one month we made decide to blow most of our budget on a millenium jar or something. then we wouldn't have much wiggle room to work with after that.

but whatever money is left over will go into a kitty, which you can cash out, let it carry over into your next month, or we let it accumulate for future "special" purchases

Monte #5

This should be close. I didn't go and look at prices. All the choices given so far look pretty good.

Gotcha jorge. i guess one month we could go with some 400 dollar box, and then Monte #5's, reyes, sig I's (maybe) and party shorts.

p.s.--I like danny's lineup above this, except i would like the VR Clasicos in place of the Famosos. I only have a couple left, and I LOVE 'em.

I also know that Dr. Evil has a soft spot for the Clasico.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

my line up has a clasico. I really really want the corona especiales, though.

5 a month would be nice but I doubt it's sustainable without either buying the same "cheap" boxes or buying a lot of small smokes.

How about this:

Each period, one of us is responsible for selecting a list of boxes that fall within our budget. Preferrably 2 groups 5 boxes, a 4 boxer and a 3 boxer. Then we vote on those. ?

The Clasico is cool with me.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

sounds like a plan to me, beegee. but as long as you work some cohiba coronas especiales into the equation I'll be down for whatever :smt043

 

[scottsins]

Good idea B.J., but wouldn't that be 3 groups?

I think this is the winning strategy, BTW.

We also need to decide (I think we already have) which cources are approved for purchases. If we hear of a new one not prev. approved, it would take unanimous approval before any buy's could be made from it.

I would think that we could order from multiple places each month, as long as no add'l shipping costs are incurred.
