Many of you know of Mitchell O's auctions, the largest Habanos auction there is, it used to be once a year with a big fancy smanshy dinner and things then it was twice a year and i believe it's 4 times a year now.
You used to be able to go there and score some deals, things like Cuban Davidoff partial boxes could be grabbed for a steal, i got a partial box of 10 Davi No 2s for 500 bucks once a few years ago, you could always find boxes of short filler cigars from the 80s for 200 or so bucks because they were a risk and not collectable, had some amazing Upmanns from the 70s and 80s on the cheap. With the Chinese tobacco conglomerate buying 49% of Habanos SA and the price restructuring for the Asian market those days are long gone, hell a FRESH Cohiba lancero is $100 buck now which is insane but a friend posted some prices from the latest auctionand these weren't even cherry picking it was just cigars he was interested in... oh well I had a good run for about 15 yrs LOL
