Why are the Quickie auctions frequently cigars that I normally don't smoke?...Mediocre smokes at best

Your test are making you double post.

It is like everything else in life, a quickie is not as much fun as a "longie"! Oh, to keep from being blasted I just happen to be smoking an Onyx Reserve Petite Belicoso....a supberb smoke and a beautiful black cigar!~ Charlie

I find that to be true in all areas ... the quickies, samplers, boxes and 5-packs ... for me, there are more cigars that I don't smoke than those which I DO ... but I buy as much from quickies as from any other area ... I find enough that I like for which my bid eventually prevails that I just got a call from home, hollering about the most recent charges to the cc ...

charlie, i bought a box of the onyx reserve robustos and i really dug them. i then picked picked up a couple of the mini belicosos and i thought they were lacking something. maybe i just got a couple of bums...

The Quickies tend to offer less quantity which tends to result in a higher winning bid price. I rarely bid on quickies for that reason.

CJ I have found that to be true of the Onyx. More good ones then bad ones though, and the beli's are the best of the bunch IMO.

Wow...I DID doublepost...F***ing Newbie!..LOL

And it only took you 6 hrs to notice! G'night!

Goose...I disagree. The short term bidding on Quickies often catches some of us sleeping while long term exposure of other Category lots gives all of us a chance to check in before bidding ends. Result is a 5-pack in Quickies can often go for less than the same lot in 5-packs. I usually start with Quickies until I get a winner, then bottom fish the other categories. That might explain my lack of winners lately. Quickies offerings haven't been whetting my taste buds.
