Not sure if this belongs in the BST forum or here.
Anyways, I often see threads, such as the "I found Anejos at MSRP, should I buy them?" or "my local just put a few boxes of Opus on the shelves with no limit at msrp, does anyone want any?", and wonder to myself why even waste the time asking the question?
Just so we're clear on this: If you are ever at a shop and see cigars that are hard to find at good prices, buy as many as your credit card will allow, if you don't want them all then it will take you all of 5 minutes in the Buy/sell/trade forum to unload them. I consider it a service to fellow members.
As far as I'm concerned, this includes cigars such as Fuente goodies i.e. Anejos and Opus. Or perhaps you run across some Padron 40th or 80ths at or below msrp, buy em! (then pm me...)
What other cigars should be added to the list, or do others here have strong opinions why this is a bad idea? I understand that not everyone perhaps has the cash floating in their wallets to just buy hundred of dollars worth of cigars assuming they can sell the ones they don't want here, but for certain sticks it's not an assumption but a known fact!
edit - disclaimer:
Some of us have too much time on our hands, or are some kind of ubergeeks, and we actually know by heart what the msrp is on alot of HTF sticks. Many of you may not, and I would not like to be the responsible party for this entire idea when you think you've found a deal and then find out it really wasn't, and now you're stuck with these cigars. Also, some folks may not be in a financial position to be able to just dole out a few hundred dollars on cigars, then post a thread and hope that others buy them and you get your money back. I do not want anyone to feel obligated to buy cigars, or feel like they are less of a botl because they simply can't afford at the moment to dish out cash like this.
