Advice for selling cigars

[AdamJoshua]

You'd have to open one box regardless just to see if they were dust or even eaten away by critters, the fact that you won't open a box just to check them and you would want someone to buy one is... odd.

I'm not saying to send out samples, I'm saying so YOU can check the box and see what you are selling, but doesn't seem you really care what you are selling someone... just my

I guess I hadn't really thought about that. I know Dad was a cigar enthusiast for decades, and I know that the boxes were purchased within six months, so I presumed the cigars were smokable (if properly rehumidified). I certainly know no critters got to the boxes (or they would have had to have been amazingly talented to have replaced the plastic packaging so exact).

As I said, I really was just looking for information. Not trying to foist crud on anyone -- I have to assume the cigars are of decent quality.

Thanks.

As your buyer will have to assume, if you don't open the boxes for inspection....and therein lies the problem.

I think the critters (beetles) that most would be worried about would already be in the box. If a box of cigars is left above 70 degrees for a length of time tobacco beetles can hatch in the cigars and turn cigars to dust rather quickly. Unlikely but still possible.

When I first started smoking cigars, it was Don Diego that I loved. They're a very mild cigar, not too different from a Macanudo. Why not smoke them yourself? Introduce yourself and hang around; you might find a cool new hobby and a bunch of new friends.
