anyone else remember that long dead site? Gone a long time so not a competitor reference.
I think it was the first interweb place from which I bought cigars on line.
the premise was that every day they would offer a fiver. Ya had to wade through days of Petersons and stuff like that but here and there would be a great find. Bought several 5ers of AB Medalists there, only AB's I really liked. I seem to recall they were based out of St. Louis.
Their comments thread lived for months after they died. Wondering if this is deja-vous all over again...

Smoked an Avo Domaine. What a great cigar. The only problem I had was that the ash was flakey. Every time I puffed, little bits of ash came down all over me. The flavor was great however. It put most Cubans to shame. Maybe the flake problem was just this one cigar. I smoked Avo years ago and never had this problem. Being a cheap bastad, I will not be smoking this one soon, but if I could afford it....!!!! |

That site was before my time. I fell for Thompson's for awhile, but ran to cbid when T's wouldn't stop hassling me. Cibd ignores me, and I like that.  |

Q they have 8 AVOs on special for 26.99 on Cigar.com right now. I wasn't that impressed with the Domaine and had no flaking problem, but the aroma after smoking on my hands was kind of minty. Good enough cigar if the price is right. |

But when they stopped doing business, the comments section of the site lived for many months. |

That AVO sampler deal was at CI. T's annoying calls are a problem and I made it very clear to them that I no longer wanted to hear from them. The seem to have a unique variety of Gurkhas and based on the one I bought at their auction a few years ago- they were crap. |

I find they are not bad when you go there in person as long as you refuse to be put on their mailing or call list. |
