  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Craigslist Deal?

Look at them in person...if they look good, go for it :)

Other than poor care (which you'll be able to see/feel/smell right away), the only concern I'd have would be re-banding. But if you're familiar with some of the cigars, then you should be able to tell if that's happened.

I agree! The only worry is that he has not really put any effort into maintaining his cooledor for the past year. Plus it can get hot in Mesa...might have been hit by hatching beetles! Good find if everything checks out though!

Nobody is going to reband those smokes in order to make $150. So I wouldn'y worry about fakes. If you get the cooler and trays come with it, I would think it's a great deal. If it got too hot last summer, beetles would have hatched already, and the signs would be there. Look in the cellos for a black/dark brown dust. So I say it's a deal...go for it.

nice sampler. i count around 55 sticks. a few good sticks. nothing to write home about. i wouldn't say it's a great deal, but it's not bad either. if you'll smoke em, and they check out, go for it. i'm with Dave, try and get the trays too!

He also seems like a guy who knows about cigars (beads, trays, coolerdor etc). I would say it's a good deal.
