Commence the beatings...
Sounds and looks like a ripoff, not including one hit wonder jballz.

Great timing new guy. I've been looking for good deals on cigars still in the "rapper".
Thanks you too.
bundle of 10. Drew the poser ,enough said
The older I get ,the better I was
jballs, first off these cigars are garbage and secondly, if anyone were dumb enough to want to buy these $hit sticks, they can be easily bought for half of what you're asking.
What the hell is the matter with you? Are you some kind of scammer or thief?
I would highly suggest you take your bundle of crappy cigars and just plain get the hell out of here and never come back.

That would be a good deal. My shop was having a DE event tonight, and I was chatting with el gestor about it. The should normally go for about 16 a piece. 200 was confirmed "greedy", but they are apparently a hot item on the resale market. I guess that's not the black market, per se, assuming jballz didn't steal them.
I like the T52s, but it is hard to justify the price tag.

I'm not a big fan of "hot item on the resale market"... That leads to all sort of price gouging and other nonsense. And for what? A bunch of rolled up dead leaves?!?!
I concur with you - for $16 I can at any time pick up a Davidoff and be thoroughly and completely blown away. I don't need to be chasing after something that costs as much and is impossible to find...
Seriously - they might be priced in the $16 range at shops, but they're definitely not worth $16. It think my offer is completely fair. I have an evil plan on what I want to do with the cigars if our new member jbalz is agreeable, so I might even be persuaded to pay for shipping if he wants to negotiate... I would even let him keep one of the cigars for himself
I have worked a deal out with John (jbazz) for a reasonable price for the cigars. John is the real deal.
He also asked anyone in our community to visit the shop he works at - Casa de Montecristo in LaGrange, IL (http://casademontecristo-chicago.com). As you would be his guest, you would have access to the VIP cigar lounge without charge (BYOB). And - he said he would help anyone interesting in finding htf cigars if he's able.
He wishes all a Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year. Thank you John for your generosity.
CC86 - be nice - John's a good guy!

Wow, I never realized these cigars were that sought after. I had seen some merchants offering them on the internet for lower prices HOWEVER, they weren't actually in stock at those places. Bottom line is sure, anyone can say they'll sell them for half of jbazz's price BUT when you actually want to buy them, the answer is "Sorry, we're out of stock at the moment."
I'm sorry jbazz for giving you a hard time because you are 100% correct, these cigars are hard to find and if someone wants them, your initial asking price is maybe a little pricey but fair in my now better-educated opinion (due to their availability).
Hey George, I think you should paying jbazz more than $119.00 you cheap bastard.

I wanted to post up that John makes good deals based on our communication & transaction for the UF4s.
Hopefully we'll see him hanging around more.

Wow this thread turned around fast.
$200 seamed high to me also but I have never came across that cigar at a DE event so I didn't know what they cost and kept my trap shut.
It was nice to see a new cigar for sale thread that didn't end badly.

Just run everything threw a spell checker.
Considering 90% of these threads typically are not to the benefit of anyone other than the seller, this was a refreshing surprise. John (jbazz) is one of the good guys.
I hope John does return and participate - he's very welcome in our community. And I hope our membership patronizes Casa de Montecristo in Countryside, IL. My local shop owner (Cigars and More) speaks very highly of that shop. We must support our local brick and mortar retailers to maintain the culture we enjoy. John invites any of our members to be his guest at their very well appointed smoking lounge. Spread the word!

That is a very nice VIP lounge, I'm jealous. My local is nice, but not that nice.
