Nice little chunk of Change

reflex, I have no dog in the fight, but once I saw the price and one other obvious but subtle clue I went and found them for that same price shipped.  I'm not saying there is any evidence that that is where the seller (don't know who we are even talking about here) got them, but they are available.

If you read the whole thread carefully, you will see at least two other BOTLs who know exactly what I paid for a box with the exact same box code. One of them got the same box code himself from the same source.

But I'm sure you're right, I just don’t "relies" what I'm doing.

To me it just looks like you are bragging about a great deal that you won't let anyone else in on. Like I said I checked around and if what you are saying is true that was an outstanding deal. I hope you realize (I hope that makes you happy)

All I'm saying is if you want to bitch about someone gouging then if someone asks in a PM where they can see the price you need to let them know or just let it go.

I could care less if folks make a profit, never have personally.  that said, i definitely care if folks sell something that isn't what it's purported to be.  false representation ticks me off.

I wouldn't have even noticed the offer if the box codes weren't identical. That surprised me and made me think we had probably used the same source. If we were talking about a site that wasn't referral only, I would be glad to confirm via PM.

I also understand that no rules were broken here, the cigars will certainly smoke well. I don’t sell cigars myself, but I sure do buy them, so perhaps I'm doing a little price policing here. That's what this part of the forum is for, just a bit of venting.

Excellent idea. Sorry if I was a bit of a smart ass. It's been a long day...

Enjoy your smoke.

I'm sorry but why does someone have to give out their sources to anyone but their friends? Just because you don't like it doesn't make it wrong. Not trying to start a pissing contest but that just sounded like whining to me.
