http://www.cigarbid.com/FORUM/c/profile/71597/TrishSCigarBid ), her last login/activity was at 5:08; five minutes before the question was asked. It stands to reason that she might not have even seen the question yet.

looks to me like question #8 was posted at 4:13pm.....
but whatever........Trish has not seen the entire thread I'm guessing

Trish responded at 3:45 yesterday. Said it was an exclusive size for them, but did not say whether or not they were from AVO or licensed. Thats why I asked for clarification.

One of us has the time zone setting in the CP wrong then.

Regardless of what time zone is set, if you look at Trish's profile, her last activity was still 5 minutes before the second question (post 😎 regarding clarifying if these were made by Davidoff (who makes AVO) or they were under license or something else was asked.

I agree, it's very possible AVO rolls these up for cigarbid...

out of curiosity, how common is it for a cigar roller to make cigars in several different vitolas - all the same blend - but then make one of those vitolas only available at a discount auction site? Very common, slightly common, not so common, or unheard of?

What percentage, I could not say, but just about all the big operations have exclusives or custom sizes. One can have a lot of pull being able to write big checks up front in an industry where you have to sit on product for a year or two and hope it will make you money in the end. These appear to be mostly a CI sampler size and it looks like some ended up here but I found them at a competitor too, and it's a not a competitor that shares the same street address.

interesting... well I e-mailed AVO and gave them the link to this thread... wonder if we'll hear from them on the subject...

that would be interesting if they do. I hope all is above board and these are a special roll from AVO just for CBID/CI, that would be cool with me, just as long as AVO i rolling.

Coronado "Hammers" were an exclusive for a competitor and they were/are fantastic. But I guess we can assume Litto made them since Celticbomber got the last boxes in the world directly from him...

It was a quote from the big lebowski... there's a point in the movie where the dude and walter are having a discussion...

one of the very first things mentioned and what spawns the entire conversation is the fact that the dude and mr. lebowski share the same name...

however at the end of the conversation Donny comes up and says,

"His name's Lebowski? That's your name, Dude!"

I was just giving you a hard time because your late observation that the size of the robusto here differed from the one at CI was kind of what started the whole conversation...

now that I've gone through and explained it in that detail, I realize it really wasn't funny... 🤦

Where's Ndill?

I can't fault them for that. If you owned the vendor that contracted the exclusive, wouldn't you? If you don't push your own product, who else will?

#52 - Yeah, no problem. I realized that, about the start of the conversation, a bit late and didn't read all of the posts. Mostly I'm just screwing around.

I find it hard to get too serious here most of the time.

Edit: Oh, and sorry I missed the Big Lebowski reference. Gotta go back and watch that again now. 😇

I haven't seen it in a while either... probably watch it tonight!

did you know The Big Lebowski, Jeffery Lebowski, not the dude, is the same guy who in Blazing Saddles says, "we'll take the ******* and the ****** but we don't want the Irish!"
