i won't mention the cigars i am bidding on because i don't want you guys to know, you're libel to get in on my bidding. i just had 47 cigars delivered. $10.45 for shipping. total average $2.69 each cigar. i promise you all these are excellent cigars. the 75 cent cigars i bought offset the cost of the + $3.00. the overbidders are probably new to cigars or they live in a town that doesn't have a decent supply. much as i love vegas, they get $5.00 for a fuente curleyhead, and those hamilton or sinatra cigars go for $14.00. needless to say i bring more than enough with me, and i always bring a box of whatever i can buy for less than $20.00 a box and give them to the clerk that checks me in and he sells them for a lot. guess who gets preferential treatment? the cigarettes that toby smokes are $10.00 a carton instead of the $30.00 odd dollars they get in whittier, brea, or the san fernando valley. as they said in music man "you got to know the territory."
