$1600. for a box of 13's?

Excuse my ignorance, but what the hell are 13's?

Very rare Fuente, but that price is high, these guys are bidding for charity.

Gentlemen these are not going to go cheap. The auction is to raise money for the children of a very respected member of Cigar Family who was killed in a car crash recently. These items will go way over what you'd expect to pay, but the members there who are doing the bidding have very deep pockets and are very willing to help.

The 13's are a Fuente product that originally sold for $130 for a box of 13. They currently go for about $125 a stick, so the current $1600 bid is not absurd, however, they will not sell for $1600, they'll fetch more. I've had several, they are sublime!

no doubt it is going for a great cause. i still cannot believe how high the dunhill atados are going for though, holy shit.

If you've ever spent any time on CF, you wouldn't be surprised at what rare/vintage or HTF stuff goes for there.

 

[Rutkus]

yeah, i've been a member there for 4 years mostly lurking but that is still way high lol. makes me want to go give my atados a kiss.

 

[WhiteLightning]

Those are some insane prices.

Kinda makes me think my little stash of opus and anejos are dog rockets. Very humbling. CF appears to be where the big dogs with super deep pockets run.:dunno:

The cigars are irrelevant fellas,value doesn't really enter in here, it's the end result they are bidding up.

This seems to be true, there are some very deep pockets over there. However they also have a good brotherhood, but are little less accepting of the newbie's dumb questions.

True dat! A lot of those guys have known each other for over a decade as that site has been around a LONG time, but like Dave said, they don't take well to noobs or trolls. Make a misstep and they'll let you know it, don't get me wrong, it's a great site, great guys, you just gotta take your time getting in the "in crowd" over there. Where do you think I get all my HTF's! :thumbsup::eyebrow:

I still applaude them for their efforts and generosity.
Hopefully here in the near future my future will brighten as i expect and i'll be able to run with them.

But rest assured, i won't forget about you little fellas over hear.:rofl:

Just kidding. This place is great because there are no pretentions:thumbsup:

And besides, i've promised to take Wade to The Masters, so i cna't turn my nose up on you guys any time soon.
