......Judgement on some of the blends I have burned over the past months. Using high school grading scale:
A = Excellent cigar.
B = Very Good - above average cigar.
C = Good - average cigar.
D = Fair - Below Average cigar.
F = CRAP cigar!

Won't be buying anything under a C+ again any time soon.

So was the Oliva 2nd Liga V nowhere near as good as a first, or do you just not like Serie V's that much?

Also, what problems did you have with the 2nd? Flavor? Construction?...

I was thinking about trying these one day, if I ever bid here again.

He thinks he's impressing you all by buying many more cigars than he smokes. Ask him how many cigars he has and how he stores them. Apparently he has enough crappy cigars since he says he's not buying any more of them. Looking at the last batch of "bargains", I didn't see anything I would call a bargain. If he's looking to compete with DPN, he's not in the same class.

What do you do with all these bargains?

I usually 120 to 150 a month for myself and sell the rest to a few friends I have around here in Samplers.

why don't you ask me yourself ****! Ever hear of a humidor? In case your dumb ass hasn't you can get them here in 100, 50, and 20 count like I have over the years. And I have about 700 sticks resting at last count in these boxes called humidors. Weather you think that's a lot or not I really don't give a ****.
