Yea this just blows now!

Common, the "If it's not broke don't fix it" didn't cross anybody's minds over there...

The old site was way better, with more functionality and not to state the obvious, but from the looks of it, had more cigars. The new site is slow, takes to long to navigate and from the looks of it has less product that is being offered.

Yea everything about this **** sucks as of right now!

I really enjoyed using this to grow my collection over the years, unfortunately it looks like the time has passed and I will be looking around for other outlets.

I mean common, for BOXES your offering 50 or so, choices for the next 5 days? And 3/4 of those are cheap filler cigars that would be give a ways to non smokers while your out golfing or somewhere else, just being polite. And I have to search page by page through these because you did away with the "ALL selection.

From the looks of it, I'm chalking this one up to greed. The site seems to be streamlining product placement more directly and overall directing you around more while doing so. Thus allowing them to have more control over product spread and keeping their gains more fluid. I'm definitely seeing a tighter control of the ease of bidding and additionally the product being offered has more spread for profit. Think Cohiba vs CAO who will be a better sale and what has a better spread for the company selling four 5 packs or a box?

I used to enjoy over the years picking up a box of Padron (definitely YEARS ago) or Ashton and so on and so on. Now as the years have gone by, it all gets filtered through the profit calculator and my selections of premium cigars have well since gone away and been replaced with the (CI) house brands or the like.

I enjoy spending money on good cigars and I spend a good deal of it, probably way more than I should. The allure of this site was that I could bid on decent Boxes or have selections of premium cigars that weren't local to me and get a deal on them while doing so. I enjoyed the bidding and it was fun, but as of years past the selections have become more limited and now with the site update, this just is in no way as enjoyable as it once was.

Our apologies, we are working on the site slowness.

Due to MAP (Manufactured Advertised Pricing), we are unable to offer Padrons, Ashton, etc. as this goes against what the manufacture wants their product sold for.

In due time, we will be back to adding more product offerings.

#92...That is interesting. I had a local shop owner tell me that a shop has to do at least $20,000 a year in Fuente business before they can sell Opus. Kinda sucks for the smaller shop owners...
