Wow, I just saw this and kinda upset.  RyJSmoker, this is my second sell and perhaps I should have checked the prices posted by others before I listed this box.  The justification I made for the box was the truth and perhaps I overpaid but does that deserve the finger from you?  I've purchased from you more than once.

TNT:  Maybe you have forgotten, but I was the guy that organized the bomb for you when you had you sticks ripped off by your ex.

Maybe folks might try a polite PM to a seller when there is no evidence that the seller is a jackoff.  Maybe a little education is all I need but instead I get the finger and a kiss my ass symbol.  Some of you people are so quick to jump up someone's ass.

Thanks

I've been saying this for some time.  Habanos SA is D/C'ing some wonderful smokes, taking the tobacco, and dumping it into these RE/LE/EL uber-hype smokes that sell for 2-3X more then the DC'ed ones did.  Me?  I don't drink the kool-aid.  There's still plenty of regular production smokes with regular production prices available in the $6-$10 range.  Keep yer gold bands, lacquered boxes, certificates of authenticity, and other bullshite.  Same goes for the non-Cubans as well!  Coffin shaped boxes my ass!

Hard to argue with any of that.  If I get the chance to smoke a limited release first, and its awesome, then I will try to buy more.  The last Monster release, I am fortunate to live about 2.5 miles from the CI Superstore.  So I was able to buy a couple singles, try one, THEN buy a box later that night.  Same thing with the recent Viaje Exclusivo Tower 45th release.  I've had other Exclusivos and really enjoyed them, so I got a box.

There are plently of regular release cigars from all over the world that are great, that I can get whenever I want, and don't pay through the nose for them.

Sir i do remember and It is not forgotten.  I just have been frustrated with watching guys on here sell stuff for way over msrp. To me that is taking advantage.

Bill just said it best. Im not for selling stuff over what I paid. Next time I will just pm you first.

Thanks.  I'm glad you said you'd ask what you paid as this is what I did plus shipping.  I am always open to suggestion/correction.  PM would be appreciated.  I'll add that I've also been frustrated at some pricing too especially when not everyone gets called out for it.
