What I'd like to know ...
... is how long is it going to take the new people to read the 'General Guidelines' and learn that they are not to post competing websites at these forums?
The site you mentioned here is in direct competiton with CI/CB, even though they are selling their product. CI doesn't 'list' their cigars at other sites, that other site buys from CI ... and just uses CI's name in their listings ...
I know this, because I posted their site many years ago, and the name was xxx'ed out by the CB staff.
I have also found that this particular 'trades' board (being on CI's Auction Site) ... is not really meant for heavy duty trading, as that sort of actitivity would surely be counterproductive, and cut down on their sales ... though a few big one's ocassionaly do come and go.
Over the few years that I've been here, it seems that the main function of this board, has been to just have fun trading for cigars that you would like to try ... before you go out and buy, or bid on a lot.
... and if that high bidder isn't retail, you'll probably see them on some 'other' auction site in the near future ... LOL!
