    I guess I'll go in for a bottle. Maybe two. Might as well try it, right?

    Yeah I would be in for a couple bottles myself and can fill out a fair amount more.

    My son said he'd be interested in a couple, as well.

    Store picks go for more on secondary market. I'll move what ever your leftover with Kevin.

    ...until you have 20 bottles in front of you and decide they're too pretty to let go.

    How much will it cost?
    The cost for a barrel ranges between $4,000 and $15,000 depending on the number of bottles your barrel yields, and the price negotiated locally by the distributor and retailer.

    Never had it, can't get it here, but if there's a way to ship it north I'm in for 2.

    I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

    My prediction here, is just like Kevin coming to multiple herfs, this will never happen.

    Quite possible, but I have promised nothing (unlike the multiple Herfs). Just feeling out interest.

    Let me know when you have it more figured out. Generally interested.

    @Trykflyr_1 I do have a bottle still sitting in Scotland waiting for shipping!

    Now this is not the end of the cigar. It is not even the beginning of the end of the cigar. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning of the cigar.

    I have to agree with @Patrickbrick. I did some numbers from the Blanton website and put numbers in that were middle of the road and you're talking +$40.00 per bottle before taxes, shipping, receivers Mark up then you have to figure in the costs of packaging and shipping to everyone who has signed up for how many bottles. Doesn't sound cost effective to me.
    Just saying.

    At least 26 bottles "Spoken for."

    Full steam ahead.....

    I'm in for 4 or 5 myself so that number is higher. Plus Jeremy and Chris would be in for at least 2 bottles themselves.

    Blantons on the shelf IF you can find it retails for 55-65 depending on state. Secondary market for regular blantons is 85-100.

    I’m going hunting for Blantons tomorrow so I can keep working on those owners I’ve been talking to. In the last week and a half I found two bottles on the shelf that are currently in my possession technically three but I let my oldest daughter buy that one.
