"Mint Condition" Macanudos

AD720 · 01-04-2009, 01:32 PM

I found this listing while doing a wide-net search for a used cabinet humidor.

While I have seen some ridiculous stuff on craigslist I am actually holding my sides laughing at this one.

That is too freaking funny!!!

He will ship them at "his expense".
What a guy!!!

Too funny -- although hopefully someone doesn't fall for this.

If anyone falls for that and can afford two cigars for $1500, they probably won't feel the pain of knowing they paid for fakes as that has got to be cash intended for pissing away to begin with.

Makes me wonder if he was told they were CC's when he bought them and is too ignorant to know better or if he is really trying to pull a fast one on someone.

Sweet! I asked for priority shipping ...

massphatness · 01-04-2009, 01:53 PM

I sent an email asking if he'd do one for 750.

Cuban Macanudos?
That's a first for me.

cort · 01-04-2009, 02:03 PM

What if he really did pay that much for them??

Peter,
They are extremely rare, hence the price.

I don't think it's a joke.
The seller is either a crook or a fool.

BamBam · 01-04-2009, 02:09 PM

I am willing to sell the exact same "rare" Macanudo cigars for half what he's asking.

I will sell mine for $375 a piece.

See mine here.

Give me a few days to get them in from my..um...Jamaican supplier. I call him "Junior"

awsmith4 · 01-04-2009, 02:11 PM

That poor stupid SOB....

awsmith4 · 01-04-2009, 02:15 PM

"However one has a small crack in the side due to the travel in my bag back from the trip."

Yet they are still "Mint"

I wonder if I sent him a Macanudo Vintage 1997 if he'd pay even more

pnoon · 01-04-2009, 02:17 PM

He is a collector of cigars so he must know his stuff.

Someone should email him and politely inform him that there is no such animal as a Cuban Macanudo. Just to see his response.

I can't figure out...those are the two scenarios I have been pondering.

1) Crook -

Dude gets two Macs from the news/tobacco shop, slaps some price tags on them and tries to make a 1 billion percent profit.

2) Fool -

Buys the two Macs in Jamacia for $999.99 each *or somewhere else and adds that tidbit in an attempt to add some creditability to his story* and sells them.
