Three Nuns Auction

[simnettpratt]

Wow. escioe makes a good point though; I've paid $20 for a cigar more than once, so at $17 a bowl it makes a lot more sense than $836 for 100gs. Some of the $20 cigars I've had were definitely worth the money.

Guys a visit to that auction site shows a couple more tins for sale of Three Bums with the bidding way under $100. Makes me wonder if the $836 tin is going to get paid for come settlement time! - condorlover1

First, not a single one of those other Three Nuns tins is an original, 1970's or 1980's Scotland made version. They are all the later Danish production tins. That makes a HUGE difference in the collectability. Second; Peck is right, the buyer has paid (he's in the USA, by the way) and is happy as a clam... and so am I, to say the least.

I will have to ask some friends in the 'trade' in the North of the UK what they have in stock whilst I am in the UK from Tuesday morning.

Damn you cigrmaster! You are holding out on your fellow brothers of the leaf.

I think Peck bought it and this is an elaborate plot between he and the Pipestud to throw us off the trail. All of this is somehow related to their alleged horse race betting. Keep an eye on Peck's tobacco cellar database. He won't be able to resist adding one more tin. Trust me - this is the forum equivalent of "the one who smelt it, dealt it."

 

[pipestud]

LOL!
Well, I promise Peck didn't purchase that tin but I'll gladly sell him one for $836.00. Heck, I'll even toss in free shipping to Canada just so he can have one. :D

If you figure it up on roughly 3gr. per bowl, that's over $25 a bowl...... No Thank You!

I could easily get 2 tins of excellent tobacco for the cost of a single bowl from that tin!

Kinda makes you wonder what the buyer's cellar is like, doesn't it?

 

[simnettpratt]

'Course if Bradley bought it, that works out to $200 a bowl.

Kinda makes me want to break bread with them on a Saturday night

 

[klause]

All I can say is very happy puffing to the happy owner of that legendary tobacco!

This.

Okay, that made me smile. . .

Wow is right Peck. Holy cow.

 

[saltedplug]

I'd have to have the mortgage paid and three times the money I had forecasted I would need for retirement before I'd pay big money like that, for a freakin' tin. And even if I had that money I might just refuse to buy at this price out of principle. Stuff and nonsense!

That kind of cash would keep Mrs. Cortez in new shoes for a month! :rofl:
