Not only do individuals do this, but some on-line sites do as well.....case in point Oliva MB 1's and cigar.com!! I agree with K7 and Mr Peat, the reason to collect cigars, imho, is to share them and enjoy them yourself....not profit. This is the philosophy that I have had for many years in all my collections...brewery advertising, autographed hockey pucks, and now...cigars. I have some stuff that I could definitely sell for a gigantic profit, but that is NOT why I collected it in the first place and my intentions are to will it to my children or donate the things to a museum when I can no longer enjoy them, especially the brewery stuff.
