OpFth Mini-Auction #1

PLEASE READ THIS IN IT'S ENTIRETY BEFORE PLAYING-THANKS

Now what do I have to do to win you ask?

This is what you have to do: Each bid increment will be 1 pound of hard candy (Smitty uses these as packing material instead of styro-peanuts). Small packages, large ones it does not matter, as long as the total is 1 pound per bid increment.

Any Rules?

Yes, and here they are:

1.) The auction begins when this thread posts and will end with the last bid that is posted at 09:59pm EST Cbid time. (Example: JT posts a bid at 09:59 and then TZ posts a bid at 10:00pm-JT wins).

2.) This auction will end with the last bid posted at 09:59 pm on Saturday night 01/18/2008.

3.) The winner will have 30 days to get their winning bid items to OpFth. When Smitty confirms the receipt of your items, I will send you your prize package.

4.) There will be one winner.

5.) How bidding will work: BOTL(1) bids 1 pound of hard candy, then BOTL (2) must then bid 2 pounds of hard candy.

6.) No cigars are to be bid (However you may send some to OpFth if you wish).

7.) I reserve the right to correct, amend or clarify these rules as necessary.

Notes: If there are any questions please ask. My E-mail is zitotczito at aol dot com.

**Just off the press wire** Hear ye, Hear ye. There will be several mini auctions, "Smitty cigar" deals and some Secret Bomber auctions during the 10 day period so that many more BOTL's can get in on this. These will show up at the same time that I post the cigars(see # 11), so stay tuned for a fun filled 10 days. The first of the mini auctions will begin tomorrow night at approx. 10:00pm. These will be listed seperately on the Trades Forum so that I can keep track.

BUT WAIT, What are we bidding for?

This: A sealed box of 5 Vegas Series 'A' Artisan cigars.

Now that is about it. Remember this is for the troops, be energetic, creative and have fun.

Let the auction begin.

Thanks Tim

I'll start the bidding at 5 pounds.

-JT

I'll go 10 pounds.

LOL! Awesome idea AGAIN Zito! I would be biddin' it up if I didn't already have a box of these restin'. Here is a thought though... can we bid to have you send the box of A's to OpFTH?!?! Or does that kinda take the wind out of it? Either way, great idea! Bid it up boys and girls, these are a great everyday smoke! Heres the review straight off of CI....

"5 Vegas Series ’A’, a meaty new premium that is nothing other than...."well done."

Quite frankly, this has got to be the best new release of the year, one that has nearly caused CI’s cigar-crazed staff to come unhinged. Covered in a juicy Costa Rican maduro wrapper, it is breathtaking - like an ocean of dark chocolatey goodness - and will make you fumble, stumble and bumble for cutter and lighter. The toothy, dark wrapper in turn hugs a 3-country long-filler blend of 4-year-aged tobaccos, and the whole thing rests for 6 additional months after rolling. It delivers a panoply of robust, medium to full-bodied flavors, including subtle spices and coffee-like notes. The flavorful bouquet includes heavy doses of toasty earthiness served up in a rich but ultimately smooth fashion. The aftertaste is long and pleasant, featuring an enjoyable sweetness that relaxes your palate. The presentation is terrific: nestled inside an attractive, dark, Spanish cedar boxes, each cigar handsomely dressed in cedar sleeves.

Lastly, for $3-$4 per stick I will boldly state that this cigar may very well be the best bargain in the entire industry. If you are a fan of medium to full bodied cigars, you owe it to yourself to pull the trigger on a box of ‘A’.

Magnificent from A to B."

Gramps, Thanks for the help. If someone wants me to send their winnings to Opfth, I would of course do so. But I just want everyone to know that they are under not obligation to do so.

Hmmmmm... I will let the others have at this one, in case someone does not have a box and would like one.
