Hope all well my friend, glad to see ya posting. I will put you under my cone of protection .

meh, details, details.

great to see you too, my friend.

Great to see you too, Jamie. Hope all is well with you.

My name is Rick and I look forward to getting to know you, and maybe even learning a thing or two once things settle down here from the great software debacle of 2017

Maybe you'll get to see him at the Spring Herf.

I DID invite him, ya know.

Hey Rick. Nice to meet you. Hope things are well with you and yours.

As I side note, some of my best wins where after I was banned. Here's just a little taste. Several Perdomo sampler lots consisting of 1 Champagne, 1 Grand Cru, 1 Habano CT, 1 Lot 23 Nat, and a $35 Bugatti dual torch lighter, for $5.01 ea. So, did I pay $1 a piece for the cigars, and $1.01 for the lighters, or was it $5.01 for the lighters, and the cigars where free, lol?

As far as teaching you a thing or two, well it takes work, following all the auctions, searching for undervalued lots, watching for specials on the different cigar boards out there, finding discount codes, taking advantage of Groupon and Ebate, and tons and tons of pure luck. Sadly, for the past several months, the insane deals I rely on, have pretty much dried up.

Sounds like too much work. I know a lot of women who do the whole coupon thing... meh, time is more important to me :)

I usually just snap up on deals when they pop up for things I like, or if I'm filling up, just find decent deals for what I want... not necessarily the best possible, but I end up with what I want at a decent price.

Anyway, your scores are legendary, and I won't even attempt to compete with you in the frugal department.

Some of my recent scores:

6 Padron FR #44 for ~ $13 a piece

Those house Padrons at the other place, good deal for 1926 (they're good).

The MB3 Deal is always a good deal IMO.

Random LFD/LGs at the other place for a decent price

Melanios Robustos for just over $5 a piece

Melanio Figurado for $7 something a piece

Not the best deals, but decent for me.

Oh, one of the best deals I got of all time that I don't know if it's still attainable....

AF Mag R44 for ~ $2.84 a piece (got a couple boxes at that price).

Mike, have you been into the Bourbon again? Who is Dan, and will I see you at John's spring hurf?

Oh, and just to prove I am, who I am, you handed me an unbanded L'Atelier last year, and I was giving out MF 1922 Torps, and Dan Carlos #3s.

Say goodnight, D1ck.

Haven't tried one of those Dan Carlos..........is this the Dan we are talking about?

What? You never had a Dan Carlos? He's the cousin of Ron Mexico.

Blasted typos. I must of had this mysterious "Dan" on my mind at the time.

My neighbor. Dan Carlos. Lives across the street.

no judgement here
