Proceed with caution...

This is as legitimate as you can get it. I do not play games that people play. I tell it the way it is.
I am well aware that everyone has an opinion, then what ever it is it will be!!!!
I did not think you needed to proceed with caution in order to ask for advice?

It's typical that seeking advice on selling cigars precedes the actual attempt of selling said cigars. I believe the caution was pointed at the potential attempt to sell. I think everyone here would echo that advice, "proceed with caution".

What would you do if you found out that you were in the same predicament that I am in.
I just recenlty joined, and all that i have experienced thus far instead of friendly advice is nothing but to proceed with caution.
Listen, If translating looking for advice is going to become scrutiny and Psycho-analysis, this is not worth it.

I seriously wasn't trying to give you a hard time, just trying to further explain why you might be told to proceed with caution. Just about anywhere you go on the web, taking time to let members get to know you will go a long way to successfully finding buyers. I don't envy your situation and I wish you the best of luck in moving your cigars.

I feel like a new man already. Thanks for your candor, much appreciated.

I wish I would have seen this post first... Interesting response... Here's my advice (you asked, I'm going to help)

My friend - I happen to care about the membership here. Maybe you do too. Maybe not. I dunno.

The Nigerians have a special word - "mugu". Just to be clear - I'm not a mugu and I'm going to do my level best to ensure that the members of this community are not mugu. If you're truly legit, you'll have no problems with our community. Please proceed with caution.

I truly understand. I don't keep mugus in my family. Have a great day

Sorry to hear about your circumstances, I'm sure it must suck.

There are sites out there specifically designed to buy/sell cigars, unlike this one which is intended to be a community of cigar smokers united by a common passion, yadda yadda.

My advice would be for you to find one of those buy/sell sites and ask an experienced member there how to determine the value of the cigars you have to sell, and then sell them and be done with it. The cigars you mention in your post aren't as easy to value as regular production stuff, but I'm sure you already know that.

Good luck.

By the way ashauler, check out this site: they are selling for $5,000 for a count of 10. This is not a joke. Thanks

You should have left the link to that place out of your post. I'm acquainted with that site....and, um, their completely reasonable pricing structure.

You have what you came for, so, good luck with your health, and your cigar marketing, adios.
