ROTT = Right off the truck.

For anyone interested, cbid just posted a "specials" sale on a 15 Nica Libres sampler. Auction ends Saturday, but if you bid early you may get it at the offering price. http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=880284

I'm passing as I bid on some stuff from last Thursday to this coming Wednesday to save on shipping. First time in quite a while I've bought from cbid...as addictive as I remember it!

Good luck bidding.

So is the Nica Libre a confirmed AJ blend? I've seen it pop on and off the list here and I've heard mixed reports from other places...

I have seen many (CI, CBID, CIGAR.com, etc) sell samplers/5 packs that say he is so that's close enough for me.

Plus I haven't heard anything to the contrary.

Gave a buddy a Nica libre and he really enjoyed it. I wish they didn't try to compare these to Padrons.

Sweet Sampler.

kenstogie · 04-19-2010, 06:38 PM

I was all set to order then the shipping of 5.95 added in was the deal breaker. Still a great deal but I have a decent Cbid shipment on the way so this loses.

kenstogie · 04-23-2010, 07:43 AM

Couldn't wait and bid on some Diesel 5 packs from Cbid. Won both. I hope I like them. If I don't I won't have any problem getting rid of them.

On a seperate note I tried the La Cuna Bin 85 the Toro Size and was not bad but not fantastic either. I was doing a review for a web site so I'll post that here somewhere too. It was ROTT so maybe some time would help.

I *try* to let new smokes sit for at least a couple of weeks, especially if they come from CI/cbid. It's tough sometimes, because I've only been smoking cigars for a bit over a year, and there's tons of stuff out there that I want to try. Having a cooler stocked with my favorite cheap smokes helps fight the urge to smoke that new buzztastic stick too soon and taint the experience.

I enjoyed a great bidding week on Cbid 04/16 through 04/21 too (maybe too many wins). This included the Diesel 5er and looking forward to rec'v them soon (and other winnings)

You know with all the bidders her if we were to collectively bid (or not bid) on the AJ F stuff we may be able to artificially keep the price down. Would take some team work/trust but it could be done.

Kreth · 04-23-2010, 12:24 PM

By no means is this a formal analysis, but just in the last few months I've seen the price of Fernandez blends start to creep up on cbid. The guy makes great sticks, IMO, and the buzz is increasing the bidding competition.
On the one hand it's a nice to see the recognition for a talented blender, OTOH: stay the hell away from *my* sticks...

Is AJ a CI exclusive more or less? I was in my B n M 2day and he said they couldn't get most (or all) of his stuff because he said "there a CI exclusive". I'd like to add he really likes AJ stuff and has even given me a Man O War or two. (Which I REALLY appreciated).
