Was anyone ever able to find that list of sub par, and poorly rolled CCs that alot of guys like to sell here (the ones that sold originally on "clearance" for $50 and people are trying to sell for $250+ now) ? I tried to read the original thread but never found it and although I have some good ideas of what smokes were on that list based on some of the older dowel rods I have smoked or tried to smoke from here, I still have yet to see that definitive list.
I would love to post that here so people can be aware of the situation as to why people are letting go of 10 year old, supposedly "premium" sticks.
:cheers:

[quote]Bill, I only hope you're right...but, in general, it seems that those who are blatant about their gouging, just ignore the BZ altogether and if they do read here, they sure as hell don't bother to post comments about their actions or try to defend those actions. [/quote] If you read this thread in its entirety you'll see that this clown went in the opposite direction and posted all kinds of obnoxious falsehoods and got his buddies from other boards to chime in as well. Birds of a feather and all...
With regard to a list of the sale cigars, I am unaware that one ever existed. One douchbag posted a thread about wanting to buy them off guys who took advantage of the sales and then topped it like 5 times a day for a few weeks. I believe it was the same guy that asked in a different thrad which cigars were sold off during the sales, (aparently he didn'teven know which cigars he was looking for), in his initial thread.

I have read most of the current threads here in the BZ in their entireity, but I obviously have this one screwed up with another one. Sorry for the confusion, and I didn't mean to muddy the waters. I will find the other one I am referring to and send you a PM for clarification or I will top the thread when I do find it...

I sent Chris (Master Gates) a PM about 6 days ago regarding some very plugged sticks from 01 that I bought in a 5er from him 2 months ago on here. Unfortunatley, I already posted a good TC regarding the deal, not even thinking that these sticsk would be unsmokeable. I found out a couple weeks after I bought them, that these were highly suspect, and at some point in the past, may have been damaged or poorly rolled. I also felt that I paid what I would consider a premium for them, based on the fact that he probably got the entire box of 25 for what I paid for my 5er. Anyways, my first PM was ignored, and he was on the site after I sent the PM, so I resent the same message 3 days ago asking him to consider taking the 3 sticks back that I have not smoked or replacing them with soemthing that cannot be used in place of your gutters nails. I have not heard anything regarding the 2nd pm, and I don't think he has been back to the site since I sent that PM on Saturday.
I feel that I am being more than fair with him in letting him choose how to remedy this situation, but I will post a bad TC for him regarding this deal, if I have to. No one likes to be ignored, and I feel that I deserve slightly better treatment than that at this point... I was sold overpriced, questionable sticks at a premium price, and now I am getting the silent treatment. >:(

LMAO,, you know what they say about an education. It's never free. BE a man and suck it up. Finding a plug in a cigar is easy. You were too lazy to inspect what you got or did not know how to do it. Do you DD next time and stop bitching after the fact.

I am sorry to hear about this, I haven't had a single problem dealing with Chris over the past couple of years.
I know he does travel a lot so it is possible he hasn't been around to respond. Hopefully, that is the reason for his silence.

If I sold someone cigars that were plugged solid or not up to some quality standard, I would expect them to let me know so that I could remedy the situation.
I am going to give Chris some time to respond, and I know that he hasn't been on here much lately.

" I was sold overpriced, questionable sticks at a premium price, and now I am getting the silent treatment."
Funny but you give him this feedback:
"Chris sent me some nice looking aged CCs... good packaging and a great BOTL."
