Popular Post El Presidente Posted February 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2019 Delivery of the final part of the FOH auctions platform is due tomorrow. Ben and Steve will play around with it for a few days. We have set up a password protected subforum for FOH Auctions testing and our plan is to invite 20 senior locker members to test the platform for a week (or as long as required). We have the developers on standby for any tweeks required. Emails to selected locker members (and all mods) for beta testing will be sent at the end of this week. All going well, selected member testing will commence this weekend. The FOH Auctions subforum will initially be used specifically for testing and feedback. That wraps it up. I will provide another update once testing is complete and we are ready for launch For those who are not aware of what we have been working on. FOH Auctions has been designed as a global exchange of aged Cuban Cigars for members of the Friends of Habanos community. You will need to be a member of FOH to participate. Stage 1 of FOH Auctions will facilitate the exchange of Cuban cigars as held by members in their FOH lockers (cigars need to be a minimum of 3 years of age). This ensures provenance and will allow us to fine tune the FOH Auction process over the coming months. Stage 2 of FOH Auctions will permit approved members to list stock held outside of the locker system. Stage 3 of FOH Auctions will be a 24/7 global cigar exchange.Our vision is to deliver a transparent cigar exchange where technology and member vigilance come together to deliver aged and vintage cigars in a secure trading environment. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 This is great. I think this will be a huge benefit for newcomers to the world of Cuban cigars, such as myself, to not have to wait as long to experience their aging potential. It’s like seeing into the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LateApex Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Just be ready for a huge traffic spike Rob! For many of us, it will be "appointment viewing" coupled with uncontrolled spontaneous bidding. Looking forward to it!! Thanks for the update, and good luck staging a smooth, and (for sure) successful, roll-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be a FOH member. Post minimum may be implemented but it wouldn't be more than 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
