Been trying for two weeks to pick up a 5'vr of Genesis and been sniped by folks bidding at or above retail. Just got a 5'vr for $19.18, that's 31.5 % off retail.

Those 5vers have never closed below $19. I'd expect them to close at $21 or higher.

If you buy a box at CI, you get 8 free, which equates to $3.39 ea. for torps or $2.85 ea. for Robs, yet folks continue to pay $4, $5, and even more, here.

That's why my bid will not go over that $17. Otherwise I will get them w the free 8 cigars which I have been eying. Just don't want to buy a box price as of now. Maybe in the next two weeks I may be able to spend a tad more. I have just heard about these and never had one. Have you or anyone else had one? If so, profile?

BTW, I've smoked through half a box each of the Robs and Toros, and really enjoy them. Won 1 Torp, and did not like it at all. Don't know if it was a bad one or my palate was "off" that night, but I'm not going after anymore Torps.

The reason they go for so much is too many have bought into the false LP clone hype. Not even close, so if anyone is grabbing these thinking they're getting a cheap LP, you'll be sorely disappointed. IMHO, this is a very nice $2 smoke. Anymore then $3, and you’re way overpaying.

I haven't been smoking much because my asthma has been out of control. But at CigarFest, I smoked two. I thoroughly enjoyed them.

I miss smoking cigars..... 😞

I guess I have no self control ordering at the bottom side of $19, but even though retired, I don't have time to keep watch all day.

I liked the first one I burned and a brother liked one I gifted him. IMO they will be much better after a nap.
