There must be a way around around a MAP.
Always an insert in one of the corners to explain, in this case look for a way around....don't sweat losing a brand or two from your shpo, you are a big client. They won't risk losing your business.
We depend on cbid to give us branded product at reasonable prices. Give us what we want not what you want to sell us! Lol.

One of these days San Lotanos will be priced out of the range of the average cigar smoker like Cubans and Davidoffs. [-x

There are already many great CC's that can be had for the same price or less than the price of a San Lotanos.

San Lotano is one of the brands AJ is restricting with MAP. Sorry guys. Its gone the way of CAO, Fuente, General, Altadis, RP, etc.

The reason you see fewer seconds and overruns is because they don't set out to make them so there's a lag between the time we run out and the time they have enough to make shipping worthwhile.

Thanks for the info Trish. I'll put "MAP" into the "commonly used acronyms" thread. No worries about fixing the sticky on that and the "Newbies: Please Read" threads...keeping those those two public service announcement topics topped help several of us pad our post counts.

As time goes on, I see less and less up for bid that I would buy. Guess CBid is now exclusively newbie training grounds? And the lack of quality smokes has driven up the prices on the few good offerings left - I remember when CBid was a place I could get a great deal.

Thankfully this isn't the only place to shop...

Seems to me if the San Lotanos were worth the map then people would be paying closer to that for them. They just did a disservice to themselves by saying my cigars are worth x amount of dollars and took their cigars away from here because they weren't selling for enough $$$. Atleast Gurkha knows their product isn't worth their home shopping network inflated price.

There's enough demand here that deals aren't easy to find with fewer cigars to choose from the hunt is not worth the effort. The price people were paying for the cigars is what they are worth. I don't give a damn what the manufacturer thinks they're worth.

Yeah Cacman; there's always Duque, Raj's Untimely Demise and Free Cuba. I would guess that one of the aforementioned are your "go-to" smokes. [sarcasm]

I agree with this statement as it pertains to the line-toeing statement that went before...

Though, cbid did just take a nother couple hunnert of my doll hairs this week. But, it was the first in 3-4 months and saved me maybe a total of $40 over the mothership on the stuff I got, subtract free shipping code and we're at $30 savings. But hey... $30 is $30 I don't care who you are.

Though, those won auctions were for gifts to a family noob. Built him a humidor and ordering up some stuffings. Any extras are for wedding giveaways as I've got 3 sisters getting married in the next 6 months and they all asked me to provide cigars.

Even with my preferences, we're running on slim pickins here.

Can you say where else to find good deals? I agree with your statement 100%. I've noticed a big difference on what's available and the increase in prices on good sticks.

These AJ sticks were some of the few things I still came here specifically to find. Oh well. As long as the Garcia family isn't the next to jump off, there are still good cigars here.
