I really don't mind the new format. I've been away for a long, long time, but have won a decent amount of stuff. Like 10 $5 Palio cutters, 4 $8 table top lighters, and a bunch of Diesels, MOWs and Olivas for under $2. Even won a few Pepin singles for $3 and Dunbartons for under $4. Sure, I'm still losing like 80% of my bids, but the ones I'm winning, I'm usually the lowest bid. I found you have to get in early, before there are any other bids on the lot. That gives you a slight edge. I'm just happy that after all these years, I still enjoy some of AJ's blends. They are some of the few cigars you can still get here for a decent price.
