Okay, that's it.

Yeah a few times in the past while I was in Switzerland waaaaaaay outside of the major cities. While out on the east side just outside of Liechtenstein in little places like Buches and Sargans I have found a few shops that had no website and had multiple boxes of 80's and early 90's stuff tucked behind newer stuff for the same price. :banger

Reminds me of the movie "Wall-E" where they find the 700 year old Twinkie. :r

There was a time back in the 90's when I was working at a place that did car audio & security. You wouldnt believe some of the stuff we have found when we had to remove the front seats. Once we found actual live mushrooms growing on the carpet in one car. Yuk.

2x Anejo 46s
2x Opus Super Belis

4x Oliva O Bold Red Cloth Bands (Drools)
3x Oliva Master Blends Series 1 (2002) Torpedos

Way to spend that commission! :banger Sounds like you might need to put those clients on your regular route.

Wow, those are some pretty good pickups there. Best I can say is some MB2's at a shop in CA sitting on top of the box of MB3's for about $8 a stick. :tu

Very cool pick-ups! I used to hit this one convenience store that had old Oliva O's Maddy Blue and Red, Oliva Cammies and Fuente Short Stories for next to nothing, plus a buy 5 get 1 free :D They still have some Oliva O's left (I think), but they changed managers and caught on about their Fuente prices, now they are through the roof.

Seems like Fuente & Olivas with age are just sitting around in many weird places...
