The CI website doesn't list any of the PAMs or any Hemingways, so how do they end up here? Out of business shops, ect?

On Cbid.

I see them here Ryan. I just got some myself 😉

But,, I just wondered why the CI website doesn't seem to carry them. 😉

Cello on.

Oh wait...it was titled "dumb question" so I assumed that was the answer.

WaldoAR15 --- even though CB and CI are sister sites (or is CI the parent site?) ... they are actually two seperate companies, and and are run independant of each other.

Cigars such as PAM's, are often limited release and can be hard to get in any significant volume ... so maybe it's just that they don't get enough of them in to place them as a regular offering on their parent site ... and prefer to offer up what they do get in on their auction site.

Not knowing the finer details on how they run these two businesses, that is just my educated guess ...

Thanks Slim.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give you the straight scoop on why popular smokes like the Anejos and Padron Anniversarios never make it to CI.

As Slim mentioned, these cigars are all produced in small quantities and are shipped in even smaller quantities which unfortunately occurs very sporadically. So what does all this mean? Well, it usually means that at any given time they are on order but we have no idea how many units we will get or when they will arrive. So, to avoid the perpetual backorder that would inevitably be the result of advertising them on the CI site, we choose to put them up for auction here.

Not a bad deal for you guys!
