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
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.
I always use the bid site for boxes. If you're paying attention, you can score some great deals.
Never have much gotten into the bid sites, don't have the patience.
Doesn't take any patience the way I do it. Throw a bunch of low-ball bids up on some stuff, sit back and wait to see if anything sticks.

I'm more lazy than impatient.  So many deals to search through.  BTW, save me some time, will ya?  Anything good worth adding to my pudgy win today?

Just so you know in case you are a quality not quantity oriented personality:

Pesticides on fruits, veggies linked with poorer semen quality...

And good morning to all.


Good morning Sir Antnee, Regent of Ravioli!
Met a friend during my commute and thought it would be rude of me to banter while talking to him.  Good morning, KC.
