Nice little chunk of Change

...on those Partagas 8-9-8 Unvarnished. Probably just a coincidence that I got the same sticks, with the exact same box code, for about $170 USD this week. I'm sure that no one is getting these in the mail one week, then flipping them for a 70% profit on this board.
Probably just a coincidence, I'm sure.

It may be high, but I have 4 left and they are OUTSTANDING.

No doubt. I wouldn't have even mentioned it, but it was too much of a coincidence.
At least the source is impeccable.

After I posted this it disappeared from TSBC.
Probably another coincidence.
And please friends, you know I can't share sources even on pms.

I thought the EXACT same thing......$170.04, to be exact :-) Verified the box code just like you did.

Thanks Jeffrey,
Who knew they were worth 300 here?
Inflation...
At least we know whoever got those cigars received some that were incredibly well stored.

Impeccably stored, yes.........not bad if you buy 2 boxes for $340, then sell one for $300. Wind up getting a vintage box of 898's for slightly over $1.50/stick.
