    Default Advice needed

    So the doctor's verdict came in a few months ago: Quit smoking. I did, and now I'm confronted with having to get rid of my cigar collection. I haven't posted here in forever, but I thought I might come here and get an idea on how to sell my collection and for how much. My inclination is to sell locally, as I would like to get rid of them as quickly as possible (winter is basically smoking season here in south florida, and I don't think I can have these here by the time the weather starts cooling). My inventory is as follows:

    Fuente Opus X:
    3 Double Coronas
    3 Corona-Sized, wrapped in cedar (can't remember name)
    1 Robusto
    1 XXX

    Padron Anniversary 1964:
    3 different sizes

    Fuente God of Fire:
    2 2005 by Don Carlos

    Tatuaje:
    2 Cojonu 2003
    1 Cojonu 2006

    Gurkha:
    5 Titan

    Romeo y Julieta (Cuban)
    17 Churchills

    Montecristo (Cuban)
    7 Edmundo
    1 No 2

    Cohiba (Cuban)
    12 Robustos
    7 Siglo VI

    Partagas (Cuban):
    8 Serie P No 2
    3 Serie D No 4

    Bolivar (Cuban):
    4 Royal Coronas
    4 Belicosos Finos
    19 Coronas Gigantes

    Hoyo De Monterrey (Non Cuban)
    1 Excalibur

    I'm sure I'm missing a few smokes there, but that's a rough estimate of what I have. I'm also selling my humidors; 1 plain black with room for 50 sticks where I kept my daily smokes, one medium sized with room for 120 sticks and my baby, a large one-of-a-kind Romeo Y Julieta engraved humidor with room for 300+ sticks with digital hygrometer and 4 humidifiers.

    All cigars have been aged for at least 2 years, with the exception of the Bolivar Coronas, which were purchased in 2008, but were rolled in 2005. I haven't really been in the cigar fever for a while and I'm quite out of the loop as far as prices go and what not. All cubans are real, brought into the States by myself from various countries, always purchased by the box. How much can I get for them? Where can I sell them? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Damn. I was pretty sure it was just straight-up bullshit. I do see the need for a four-syllable word in this context, however.

    Try: "I've never posted here, and you guys don't know me for jack shit, but...blah blah blah"

    I'm not in a good mood today, so fuck off.

    Piss off Ruben...You should have edited the part where you "haven't posted here in forever." Kind of a give away that you are just trying to sell, not find out about sale prices.
    Also, Cuban cigars are illegal in the United States. No one on this board (excepting our Canadian brethren) smoke them.

    Whoa! Why the hostility? I only said "I haven't posted here in forever" because I registered for this site in 2007, I naturally assumed I had posted here before; I obviously didn't and clearly know no one here. Anyway, I'm certainly not trying to sell anything here, I just wanted to have an idea of what the collection is worth before I go to my local B&M and try to sell the thing so I don't get raped. I'd still appreciate some help if anyone wants to give it...

    Didn't you pay for the cigars? Here, that is what they are worth.

    I have no idea what you could successfully mark them up to since profiting off fellow members isn't my bag. Do your own research.

    There are sites on the net specifically designed for people to sell and trade their own cigars, unfortunately for you, this isn't one of them.

    Billings Montana is close enough to Canada hefty, you should be safe. Besides, does the Dept. of Homeland Security even know where the hell Billings is anyway?
