Well, there is some truth to that for sure.
The list of cigars I no longer bother with is quite lengthy.
That said, in the last year or so, the number of lots of cigars I have been buying regularly for over 2 years, has dropped considerably, for whatever reason.........and at the other places as well.
Add to that, MAP pricing, impending regulations, silly noops, crazy rich fuggers, the weird pricing practices of one of the major online bid houses, and the inevitable sell-off of regulatory doomed lines that may start sooner than we think..............and you have a nice cluster fuq cigar auction environment that is only going to get stranger in the near to mid term.
The GSE extravaganza was just the beginning.
