I dont get it! Why jump the price now? Things were starting to look up and now all of the sudden we see this.  I am very skeptical and will just sit back and watch the show  :popcorn: Hope all works out.

Well... This escalated quickly (again)

folks need to pump the brakes on the accolades here in my opinion.  now the sublimes have nearly doubled in price (and boxes are no longer available...convenient) I asked Joe for the origin and was simply given a blanket answer of "switzerland"...this still does not add up to me...who has that kind of collection where they can supposedly sell boxes of sublimes and cant give a through explanation as to where they were procured?

Yeah, I'm not quite sure we've moved on to the honeymoon yet.  I asked this morning for him to ship first with payment pending inspection and got the "I'm out now" which is likely the case given the price.  This was followed by an offer to sell at $75/stick.  Could be that he is just now figuring out the value of these sticks...don't know, don't care.  No way I pay for these prior to inspection from unknown seller, but I do believe all will turn out okay in this case.  Hoping so for all those that purchased....

Seems like two seperate issues to me.  The first being a possible violation of the rules, which was not the case and the issue resolved. 

The other issue seems to be that some people have a problem with a price increase.

This is the response to an irate email sent to for the reasoning behind the price increase on the Sublimes. Some of the members of the community reached out to me via email and then ultimately phone all to educate me on The proper price. All the battle zone disbelief last night was because of the extremely cheap price. I've sent out Sublimes today so their will be related positive feedback on Friday. Thanks to the community BOTL's that saved me from dumping these at inappropriate prices. Any questions can be addressed to me by my email at [email protected]. Thanks




I was wondering why everyone started doubting me after all the successful sales I had after 26 transactions. Some of your fellow community of buyers reach out to me and even offered phone numbers for me to call. I called them and they kindly explained that the$45 prices raised a red flag because it was my only listing that was ridiculously under priced. They then informed me that there are dealers stateside as well as in London that sell them for 135$ per stick. Anyone that bought last night( I only sold 17 single sticks) got them at $45. Once feedback came in and I raised the prices which are still a bargain by the way I proceeded to sell 42 more singles at the new raised price. I currently have 29 left and as i type this payment was just made for a 5 pack through pay pal. Make that 24 sticks now available. They were more than happy to pay this and stated as such. I may be new to this industry but I fancy myself as an astute business man.  If it wasn't for all the battle zone comments last night I would have never know and would have sold out at the $45 price.  I appreciate your time as well as all the BOTL that reached out to me last night to educate me on the appropriate price. I will be posting this email response for all those that have similar questions and feelings on the matter. I feel it will adequately explain my position.
Thanks and God Bless.

this email was a response to me.  a few things here:

-Ive asked 3x now for origin - first they were from switzerland...now they are "wedding gifts" via an email I just received

- His last name would seem to be anglo in origin...draw your own conclusions if you think his writing style is

-How can you have a collection of such fine cigars and not understand the market?

:bigup: It does make sense of the price increase, no one deserves to be taken if they are infact authentic. You have an increadible collection to have all those.  Hope all is well and thanks for the reply.  Best of luck with your future sells.

Prediction...this will end up being the 2nd biggest scam we've seen here on OLH

26 transactions?  I didn't see any feedback other than Buckwylde's in your feedback area.  I see that Buckwylde does.  He actually has exactly 26 trader feedback comments.  I counted 26 twice.
