Tobacco products can be sold on US Ebay. Has to be "collectable" and disclaimered to be not for consumption, but for the value is in the banding, boxing, packging. etc. Most is way overpriced. I was gonna bid on a box of LFD 07 press tonight, but I fell asleep. Somebody got em for $105. That was a descent deal, but most of the auctions are not.

they are FAKE!

Look at the sheet of cedar that covers the cigars. Genuine article uses a crescent type moon cut on the corner. They have a straight cut at an angle in the top right hand corner. Amongst other things that is what I saw that stood out first.

The cigars are fake. The embosed emblems are off and their is way too much loose spacing between the cigars. If box was closed you could here them roll around. Unfortunatly deals do not exist with these cigars.

As for deals.............LFD Fact. Press II on ebay for $105. Thats insane! And , I would have to doubt the source. Litto is very paticular in who gets L.E. products. And, IF it was a valid account holder....they are risking losing the entire LFD line. Which I once again I doubt anyone would do. Lets remember that is a limited box of only 1,500 trays of 12 cigars ever produced. To discount 12 L.E. cigars almost 30%????? Finding them at MSRP of $144 is a deal.

There fake. First its on Ebay which doesn't allow tobacco to be sold on its site, so even if they were real I wouldn't risk it. Second it seems odd to me that the entire tax stamp has been removed.
