$215 for a $90 box of Four Kicks...

Now I have over paid for cigars I wanted but at least they were good cigars.

^^^ Exactly... I enjoy a Four Kicks every now and then, and I am sure their EL Mule Kicks are good sticks, but I am not hunting them or paying $25 a stick.  I could smoke a Cohiba Espy with a few years of age on it for that same price... and that will blow the Mule Kick clean off the map.

I have a Mule Kick that was gifted to me (probably a concept very foreign to the new crop of profiteers here)... and I will smoke it when the weather breaks.  I expect it to be good, and I know it won't blow me away, and I would have high expections for any NC that I forked out $25 a stick for...

He's responding to complaints because he "wants to make it work."

I'll bet he does.

We have the trifecta here

1) Doesn't know enough about the hobby to get a decent price. No crime.

2) A profiteer. No crime

3) Lies about what he paid. Not cool.

Got it.

1) All 4 boxes sold at or $5 below the asking price, understanding the pulse of the hobby enough to realize what some people are looking for.

2) Yes I sold the boxes for a profit.

3) Detailed exactly what I paid for each box, not because I had to, because I wanted to. No reason to lie.

Understanding what a prick is so I can easily ID one like mbrogan82.  You will go far here, not.

Fuente Fan, I was educated that Wade operates this forum, in part, by donations. Seeing how "far you have gotten here" with your name calling & hundreds of post, might it be time to donate?

Donations are for people that sell, not participate.  See the below from the sites owner Wade. Bottom line you are selling a lot and making nice profits , your choice. Most dont have an issue with prices but you will outcast yourself, and most wont deal with you, again their choice to say or do as they want, like you are doing. The lying  about what you pay vs sell for is what burns many, myself included. Basically dont piss on me and say it's raining.  Brad, is a good friend and a great man and a true BOTL.

"Donations...


I’d really like to see the folks selling over $1000 a month here in any month to donate around 4%. Obviously any other donations will be accepted. Look for the spinning quarters. These are the folks that are supporting the site

.
Thanks

Wade

PS: One other thing about donations. [b]The fact that someone has donated to the site means little to nothing about his honesty[/b]. If people didn't know that before they should after the TL episode."
