    Funny you say that. There was an auction the other day on c2 for 8 ligas, mostly rare that sold for $810. Are f'ing kidding me.

    I don't bid on anything until the last minute so I do not get into a bidding war and do not bid on anything unless I know the retail.  My biggest problem is grabbing things going dirt cheap and not really needing them. Or winning items I forgot I already have..lol

    Am I wrong to assume that only the FB groups that facilitate cigar sales are the ones getting shut down?

    People in those groups are not "cigar nerds" like us.  
    Hipster smokes will sell like hotcakes because .... well, they are hip.  Notorious smokes like Opus X and Ligas will sell like hotcakes because. ..... you guessed it, they are notorious.  I'm seeing a few cigar companies jumping on the wagon and taking the Hipster route to make $. (Ezra Zion) Such a put off for me.

    People in these groups get taken advantage.  From buying fake Cubans to buying rebanded cigars for 3 times they are worth. 
    "That chicken on the packaging is Sick! I'll pay $100"

    A BOTL was selling dozens of Davidoff smokes.  No one bid no one offered.  Why?  Because it's not hip. Not really notorious and super popular.  All people see is that its an expensive smoke and nothing much else to it.  They wouldn't know who Kelner is if He was introduced to their face. I ended up buying the whole stash. Gave me a great deal.

    Next they'll be selling fixed gear bicycles, flannel shirts & jorts, and thick rimmed glasses.

    To Ezra Zion's credit. They're cigars (even the limited releases) are sold for a lot less than they could.

    And you don't get an opinion on beard oil or mustache wax unless you have a full beard that you are trying to take care of. Hipster would be using sandalwood because of the smell. Common sense is using the right oils just for the sake of healthy hair.

    Although I could start calling everyone that uses shampoo hipsters...

    What are "jorts" (sorry if it's a typo).

    "Although I could start calling everyone that uses shampoo hipsters".. That would be the closest I came to being hip since the 90's. For a couple years being countryfied was it in my neck of the woods. Even then I was left out because I still enjoyed listening to 80's hair bands and yanno that was so 80's.

    Hip to me anymore is what I will break if I slip and fall down.

    It's a typo. Us hipsters enjoy wearing cutoff jean shorts with flannel shirts. I like to keep mine rolled ironically to just under the elbow. I tend to wear my keds with them, because they are totally under rated as a shoe.

    Hipsters wear jorts? I had no idea. They're made from skinny jeans though, right?

    Pfshh. All the hipsters are skinny. That's why I'm rocking the 36 waist.

    I'd say your still free to water trees but sooner or later that will offend someone from green peace or someone that claims trees speak to them and told them trees find it offensive.
