Lot 292, SLR DCs 2007 - if anyone would like buy these for me, I'd be very grateful

[Simon Bolivar]

Do you have minimum reserve prices on them?

The minimum of the estimate is your reserve, which is very low to encourage bidders. The only one I asked for a reserve was the Cohiba Seleccion @ £1,100, which is what I paid for the full box!

Mad world. This is why I'm not even looking at auctions anymore. Thanks for posting. Good to see what's going on. Another Jag then?

I can't believe the Dumas went for that price !They're €900+ in the wild. They're amazing cigars

[Stevieboy]

It's amazing the variance between BR and CGars but I think BR is the way to go these days if you want the big returns

Yes, they were two disappointments but overall good result. QdO I bought in Havana in 2018, so no great loss on what I paid. There were a couple of bargains that slipped by. If I knew how much I was going to make, I'd have bid on a couple.

Do you think that's because there's more exposure to the Asian and Middle East markets there Steve? Or something else? I quite fancy dabbing in the auction sales myself with a few of my bits n bobs.
