It’s going to be like me watching Barrett-Jackson auto auctions. 
 

“ Man I would love to have that car…… what price? Oh hell no! “. 😂

Love Barrett-Jackson. Always record all the auctions on tv and I’ve been to the one in Scottsdale around 20 times. How it has grown over the years. The only thing I’ve bought at auction is wine; no cars or cigars (yet).

Car auctions like cigar auctions are best enjoyed after they have concluded. Too many cars I’d like to get that sell for close to what I think might be reasonable. 
guy I know had a large financial windfall. He bought a warehouse. He hired a mechanic. And then bought all these 70 cars he loved. Quite a collection. Warehouse now full. Like the Iris weathertight containers I guess.

for those of you with the money to play..more power to ya! ....i dont think i can afford to spend a year of private school tuition on a box of cigars at this time lol 😅

Brometheus I saw you mention escogidos in another thread. You can definitely get some nice cigars on BR for those prices if you keep an eye out. Not any Cohibas though.... Definitely not any GRs 😂

Looks like an opened and emptied box to me, both on the North as well as on the South Pole ... 🙂

How about a full one opened just last week to take this photograph ....

BTW : The only cigar brand to have been smoked on both Poles ...

From Cigar Journal :

The history of SOL cigars began in 1840, when the factory was founded by Marcelino Borges. From the very start, only the best
tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo were used, a situation that did not change following the acquisition of the company
by Behrens y Cia at the end of the 1880s. Behrens y Cia was responsible for the brand becoming world-famous, the interna-
tional repute earning the SOL brand a gold medal at the World Exhibition in Antwerp in 1894 and other awards that have not
yet been researched. The use of the word worldwide is rarely so appropriate, although “from Pole to Pole” would be even more accurate.
It is said that the SOL brand was the first cigar brand smoked at both the North Pole and the South Pole. The two polar researchers Commander Robert Peary (North Pole) and Commander Robert Falcon Scott (South Pole) each had a sufficient stock of the cigars in their luggage. This achievement is particularly impressive since at the turn of the century the international tobacco market
was firmly in the hands of the two powerful British and American companies Imperial Tobacco Company and American Tobacco
Company respectively.
