Gurkha

$160 cigars = smokers who typically wouldnt know a turd from a good cigar in my limited experience.

C-bid, and many of the other cigar bid sites all experience this. The worst I saw was on the bid site run by Famous for some kind of Opus MSRP was $18 a stick and the bid finished at over $30. Yes I was bidding but stopped at the $18 MSRP. The online shoppes have figured out that they can supplement their low prices with the bid sites that get people caught up in the excitement of the auction to run the price well above their normal price and MSRP.

It's great marketing and promoting of the product. When you get that email from CI offering these expensive cigars at a really great price, you wonder what you are missing. So you start reading the write ups and reviews and say I have to try these. If you haven't smoked a lot of cigars, then these can become sort of a baseline of what a cigar should taste like. It's only after you start smoking a wider range of cigars that you can really figure out where Gurkhas fit in with your flavor profile. Over time, your tastes change and what you like to smoke will change as well.
