When they have a desirable item at a decent deal they still fly off the shelves in minutes just like the old days but that does not seem to register any value with them.


Once in a while something decent does show up, like CLE Cuarentas 10/$29.99 a couple Jams ago.  But so many good cigars at good prices have just disappeared, like LAdC EEs, Guillermo Leon CGs, and so on.  I just buy elsewhere.

I would guess that's what's hurting CI are the other outlets that can grossly undersell them for everything except the occasional deal. If I'm looking for a box or major purchase CI is the last place I'm looking

Good morning gents!  Scott - that box of Tat 10th BE has been going up for auction "tomorrow" for about a month now.  I'v been watching it for a long time and gave up.  Went to small batch and bought a couple of fivers instead.  $60 shipped, I think, with discount.

I used to buy a lot of boxes long ago but over the past few years I have drastically shifted towards more variety and now I mostly like to buy nothing more than 5 paks unless it is a really great box deal on something I like a lot.

I always use the bid site for boxes. If you're paying attention, you can score some great deals.

Morning men.  I had to hit the Ruination corona deal yesterday.  That's a great little stick, the only Runi I'll buy.  Been a long time for a jam purchase before that, though.

Never have much gotten into the bid sites, don't have the patience.

Morning KC.  Man, I haven't seen those GL CG's for that price in a looong time.  Where do you find that?
