Mikeltee Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Get all of them! One can never have too many cigars if you smoke them. If you are going to cuba and buying in cuba, grab freshies so the bugs havent got much of a head start on ya. Asking us what you should buy is like asking us if you should order Coke or Pepsi. Put some prices, pics, and box codes to those vitolas and you will get guidance to what the best deal is if the mods allow it... any suggestions without that info is purely subjective to the person responding. Just because they taste hay and honey surely doesnt mean you will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a list of the items you’d like with prices from the YUL cigar guide. Buy what you find from the list until your money is depleted. Supply is very cyclical so have a long list and do not get focused on only a couple items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about guys flipping Rolex stainless steel Daytona watches for 100% profit? Or flipping Pappy Van Winkle bourbon for over 2K USD per bottle? Or fix up houses to flip for profit?

Or flipping Pappy Van Winkle bourbon for over 2K USD per bottle? Or fix up houses to flip for profit? Welcome to capitalism. Cigars are no different. To me it depends on the context. Combing the 24:24 for flips, for instance, does seem pretty dirty, considering the fact that it immediately and tangibly deprives somebody else in the community of the opportunity to get their hands on something they've been looking forward to enjoying (and it's not as though we don't expect it to happen and prepare accordingly, but it does kind of seem to go against the 'spirit of FoH'). On the other hand, picking up some retail boxes and selling them for a marginal profit to people who are desperate to get their hands on them doesn't seem as bad to me for whatever reason. It's a matter of honor. I think the issue is an expectation that members of the cigar community should at least try to be fair to one another, not a fundamental state of denial regarding the capitalist system. Idealistic? Probably, but I think we create our own universe, and if we strive to hold ourselves to certain standards we can simultaneously imagine that others out there will as well. These little subcultures are the last vestige of brotherhood in a me-first world. They're obviously no match for capitalism, but they can surely rail against it. Flipping PVW for 2K also seems kind of dirty IMHO, but you're right--It's the world we live in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what flipping houses is? Buying a POS house for cheap and working your tail off to fix it. Nothing like those money for nothing scum bags you also mention. I put them in the same category as those guys that need to be seperated when serving time because they get that "special" treatment. Everything is returned 10 fold. They will get their some day....

We need specific laws on pricing that determine maximum profit margins. It is not good enough that people can just ignore the offerings. People are too stupid. We need to protect the people. We haven't even mentioned the children. WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!! Regulate now before we all perish!!! 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
