Hi gang,
Thank you for the comments and feedback.
Regarding the post, it is NO JOKE. It's a bona fide offer-- and it seems to me an excellent one at that! One can either get rid of cigars one doesn't want that's on my list, or, if one doesn't have any of them, one can score the 49 cigars on my list for about $2.00 per stick! Here's how:
Buy 24 of the least-expensive cigar on the list from Cigarbid.com-- which happens invariably to be Luchador El Gringo Chin Music, which one can buy FOR A SONG on Cigarbid.com-- say, a box of 21 and a five-pack. For the box, see:
http://www.cigarbid.com/...l-gringo-chin-music-21/ For the 5-pack, which go for more/stick than the box, see:
http://www.cigarbid.com/...r-el-gringo-chin-music/ Send 24 to me, and keep 2 to try! If you haven't tried Luchador El Gringo Chin Music and you're into Nicaraguan medium-fulls, you're in for a treat.
I scored a box of them in February for $64.00. See
http://www.cigarbid.com/Auction/Lot/2224239. 5-packs should be able to be had for about $25.00, usually less, but that's what the last 5-pack went for (more and more afictionados have discovered this wonderful new cigar).
Therefore, for $89.00 plus shipping from Cigarbid of what? -- let's say $8-- one would have $97.00 in goods, and turn around and parlay those into a stash of 49 good cigars-- at about $2.00/stick! NO JOKE.
Or, if that's too convoluted, you can send me a private message to propo$e other term$ and conditionS.
Regarding sending cigars to me, a newbie-- as a stamp dealer and EBayer who frequently ships by mail, I have more than a passing familiarity with things postal. Among them:
1) Mail fraud is a FELONY that is taken very seriously. Neither I, nor, I believe, the customers of Cigarbid.com reading these words, are stupid criminals.
2) One can send the package USPS Priority Mail, which comes with a tracking number. If the package goes "missing," the USPS WILL TRACK IT DOWN. One can also insure the shipment, so if the shipment is "lost," one can collect the insurance money. One can even send it Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested, if one prefers a belt-and-suspenders approach.
I'll be sending the 49 cigars USPS Priority Mail, insured.
