No, I didnt get them at an auction site. I got them from what I call "the tenski place". It's a certain PAGE on the internet. It was the cheapest place I've seen this blend.

Quesada Q d'Etat Molotov · 5 × 58 10 pack-just under $20 shipped

58 in da middle

Buying spree!

Musta been one heck of a retirement deal!

yeah, right.
never had either so stepped up to the plate.

sadly, he was not still wearing a Red Sox uniform.

Think that was the last cigar that put me down for the count.................7 or 8 years ago.

Ordered those those Neanderthals Wednesday evening, got them today. The Palio cutter is nice as well. Tenski place did a good job with the order.

The cigars look great, cant wait to try them this spring.

I'm guessing you speak in code due to where this is posted but this noob would appreciate it if someone could PM me some links to "the tenski place" and "MB3 place". If this place had a noob FAQ I might have avoided those Ghurkas...

I as in Covington and found a box of Hemingway Classic Sungrowns, I don't think it was a deal at 288 but I took em and whistled while I paid. They're hard to come by around here.

Box of Edge Maduro for 58$ on free fall

......Judgement on some of the blends I have burned over the past months. Using high school grading scale:
A = Excellent cigar.
B = Very Good - above average cigar.
C = Good - average cigar.
D = Fair - Below Average cigar.
F = CRAP cigar!

Won't be buying anything under a C+ again any time soon.

C+ would mean they are better than your good, decent, average smoke. But they are not like Serie V all that much. It's more of a sun grown type of flavor! But I like them! They are a good smoke! And they do get better with age. Mine were only about 2 months out of the cello. Bid $32 on Bundles of 15 of the larger sizes like I did. I scored one at $24 and $31. They are worth a try fo sure! Decello them and let the air out for at least a month and marry a bit.

What do you do with all these bargains?

why don't you ask me yourself ****! Ever hear of a humidor? In case your dumb ass hasn't you can get them here in 100, 50, and 20 count like I have over the years. And I have about 700 sticks resting at last count in these boxes called humidors. Weather you think that's a lot or not I really don't give a ****.

I usually 120 to 150 a month for myself and sell the rest to a few friends I have around here in Samplers.

No he's not.

Box of Casa Fernandez Aniversario Serie 2014 for $51.

I love Gurkhas too. Also, what's a humidor?

Z with his boxing gloves on??

If you recall can you come back and post as to whether of not the Rom 101 maduros are any good? thanks!

Definitely something to consider keeping in your daily rotation

would they have been as good if you wore clothes?

......I made a BOO BOO and bid on the Diesel Hair of the Dog L.E. Toro Box of 10 for $59.99. Thought it was for a Box of 20. This discount SUCKS. Sells at C.I. for $79.99. Should sell here for $39.99 cheap bastards. With 100 being offered I am probably stuck.

Thank you for keeping our lights on...

I hate those rothschilds so much... And I really, really like Illusione...

I think kotc may have been subtly pointing out that the prices you got weren't exactly deals... In the case of the fritas, more of an overbid...
