Auction

[TJCoro]

Trust the Source!

I'm not undermining this upcoming auction or the retailer in any way here, but a question just in general, how do you know the aged cigars in the boxes haven't been replaced with newer stocks? I just don't know if I could spend big bucks on some of those very inticing aged lots without some pretty solid provenance...

Yes...Indeed! It takes a pound of trust and a wee bit of faith.

So why take the chance?

Why not just put you mind rest and place a bid on a box of don TJ's Cohiba Sublimes EL 2004, currently resting comfortably in his massive unit, where they've been since 2004 when he selected them himself from a little place known as the LCdH Tijuna , Mexico.

The opening bid starts at-54,500 pesos.

Just found the website in question.
not sure if it's true or just a hater of Mitchell?

I wouldn't like to say either way. And I'm certainly not trying to throw any kind of accusation in any direction.

with accusations as serious as that , i guess the ball is in Mitchells court

Certainly not an accusation I can assure you! My question is asking 'how' auctioneers in general know. I'm sure there will be strict checks and criteria to meet prior to lots being placed up for auction, I'm just curious as to what they are.

Lets face it though without solid provenance, no one would know that let's say the 1992 box they had just spend ?1200 on hasn't been filled with 2010 sticks of the identical vitola...

Such a gamble with the high prices and the product...

I read a blog with some disturbing claims about the authenticity of some lots recently. I'm not going to post it as I don't know all the details and don't want to add credence to something I know nothing about the truthfulness of.

Im also not trying to ruffle any feathers or scare monger, but admittedly it's ruffled my feathers enough to stop me from bidding this time and I only make bids on cheap stuff anyway.

As I said I'm not going to post a link out of respect for the relationship between the forum and the retailer (unless requested to do so be either of those parties..... Highly unlikely.) but the information is out there on Google and make of it what you will.

I'll be bidding as usual but of course I won't be mentioning which lots! Good luck guys.

An Auction Too Far!

I'd like to go and auction a few boxes of a little something I like to call ...Cohiba Sublimes EL 2004, but I'm afraid anything I'd make at auction would be gobbeled up in travel costs!
