Any pics?
What size are these barrels?
Any chance that you'd consider shipping these?
 
Im interested I am local and can come pick one up, please let me know if any are still available.
 
One left. The other one was shipped UPS last week. After it was packed up it was $75 to ship to east coast. Let me know if anyone else wants it.
 
What is the condition of the barrels? I'm interested but got a little concerned when reading the following about using rum barrels.

“Rum distillers generally store barrels on their ends when filled rather than their sides, and many are stored outdoors, exposed to the elements. As a result, finding rum barrels for aging beer is a challenge,” said Matt Licklider, director of brewing. “And unlike bourbon distillers who use barrels only once, rum distillers generally re-use their barrels until they fall apart and are no longer usable.”

There is a pic on the first post. It shows the condition. Also I purchased one and. Will comment back Monday when I get to the office with how it looks. But judging by the photo I would say good
