[quote]This guy was outed a few months ago already, but he's trying again here.

See, now this is a perfect example of the community taking care of its own. I did not know this guy was outed as a gouger on another site. I also did not know, (or did not remember), that the cigars he is offering in the link provided were on deep, discount special. $150-$160 per box for what he is offering seems like a decent price until one factors in his initial cost. Then you see him for what he is, IMHO a gouger. I have plenty of aged Boli and am not currently looking to add any more inventory, but if that were not the case this guy might have ended up with some of my money. With this information now accessable it would never happen. I think this is a good thing.

Aaaaaand just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water... he's at it again. Why does anyone deal with this low life?

I bet too many people just don't know. They pop in for a quick check and see something they like at what they assume is price paid or very very close to that. .02

Well, in general it is a good idea to keep good sources to your self. In the past ten or so yrs on the WWW I've seen more than a couple ruined by publicity. They now have closed customer lists and you only get in with a recommendation, or they just don't do it and people had problems. :horse:
Second, I've watched this conversation for a while and stayed out of it, but I will say that I believe in the free market. As for the concept of BOTL, HA! :gotcha: I personally know a lot of people from the boards that I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire. :boty: Just because someone smokes cigars has very little to do with whether or not I am going to like you. I will go on to say that the common interest has brought be together with some of the best friends in my life today.
It is all fine and dandy if you want to call people out here, I completely support the community policing itself, but nobody has appointed you as the net nanny for the cigar community on the WWW either.
There is a reason people come to this site, it is to purchase cigars that they can't get where they are, whether that be regional releases or Tat Blacks, availability, or the lack thereof does in fact have a value. Having something in the TSBC to sell generates traffic, traffic generates interest and interest will get people posting the things that you want.
[i]p.s., I find the $5 price drops hilarious[/i]
[i]Edit: Pls don't take this post as intending to close this thread. I'm just expressing my opinions, and in here you are free to continue to express yours. (and we all know about opinions)[/i]

I can adjust the prices to what I paid but not sure if that is what you want me to do. [b]It has been brought to my attention from several of you that some of these cigars were on sale at a vendor at give away prices before the holidays and not sure if they are still on sale or have any left.[/b] These cigars were not bought from them or at that time so if I was to adjust the prices that I paid they would go up. I say if you can get them cheaper then buy all you can being they are great sticks and [b]at the prices I was told they were being sold at I wish I bought these from them.[/b]
I’d really like for Cigarlvr07 to step into the Battlezone and elaborate a little more on the above comments. Especially the second. From the way I’m reading it, he’s saying he didn’t know anything about these sales, that someone else told him about them and about the prices. Hmmm. Interesting. A little information:
In November 08 on a cigar forum, a certain vendor posted a Pre-Holiday Sale with some hefty discounted prices. Cigarlvr07 posted in this Pre-Holiday Sale thread the following:
[b]11/29/08[/b] “Anyone get one the boxes of the Monte A?”
[b]12/05/08[/b] “SO any more killer deals ahead?”
[b]12/08/08[/b] someone posted the question “Punch Coronas or Hoyo Churchills?” Cigarlvr07’s response: “ If you are looking at the ones on sale how bad can they be for 70% off and at about $2.12 a stick for a churchill. You can't go wrong with either however at the prices that these are selling at."
[b]12/10/08[/b] “So what is the hot Item on the big sale list that is a must have?” Also, “are any of those itms you bought the last time around? And How many others have found the cigars musty from these sales. Is it just that they need time to settle back down or storage issues?”
[b]12/15/08 [/b] Cigarlvr07 started a topic: [b]Punch DC's That Are on Sale from 01[/b] and posted “Anyone get these and if so how are they? I have been reading mixes reviews on the Partagas but just curious on these?”
[b]12/17/08 [/b] Cigarlvr07 posted a sale [b]“Bought Way to Much Stuff Sale”[/b]. This sale was for the exact same marcas/vitolas box codes/years of all the discounted cigars just sold. Two more sales ensued right after, as well as popping up on other forums. These sales were for double, some TRIPLE the sale price.

Since he is aparantly without the spine to do so allow me... He bought at deep discount and is selling for large profit. He is a gouging profiteer and he is lieing about it!
