I'm bidding on the following auction...
https://www.cigarbid.com...arrillo-encore/4218447/
First of all, why show a picture of a Toro Cigar when it's actually a Torpedo?
Also, why not call it by it's actual listing? ENCORE BY E.P. CARRILLO "VALIENTES"
I don't get it, what am I missing?

Unfortunately that chit has been going on for YEARS! ram27bat

I got fooled, maybe, a couple of times but not so bad that I swore off this place like some others. Figured it was a good live and learn experience and coulda been worse, w-a-y worse.

The expectation is that you’re gonna READ the description and not buy with your eyes. Spanking

What nOOb does that? Flapper

Right below the picture it says "Images above are for demonstration only. See description for exact detail."

When you open your own discount cigar auction site, you can do it better.

HAHA...True, but when they have the correct pic for the correct cigar, why not use it?
Can I count on you as my first customer when I do open that site? ;-)

Depends on your offerings and level of customer service. I would guess they have stock images of each blend but not necessarily every size. Or maybe got lazy

In fairness to the site - the second photo of the cigars IS a torpedo .... as is the photo below with the measurements. But I do agree - the intial photo isn't a torpedo and I can see how that would be confusing.

We here at CBid believe in literacy for all.

If you can’t read the description
and understand what it relates,
You need to suffer the consequences.

Besides,
there’s a company in Tampa Bay that best serves those types…
