I was perusing through cigarauctioneer.com and found something I’ve never heard of: La Zona Factory Selects by Espinosa
Am I the last to know?
He only makes them for Famous Smoke. A bundle of 20 goes for around $50 on the Famous site.
I got the torpedoes (6.12 x 52 & called Bullets) for half that on cigarauctioneer.com.
$25.00
They had only one bundle up for sale. And no one bid against me. I’m now converted. I’ve gotten some killer deals on this Famous auction site.
For $23.00, I got the following:
1 601 La Bomba Napalm Natural (5 x 52)
1 AB Nica Puro Robusto Natural (5 x 50)
1 Antano 1970 Alisado Dark Natural (6 x 52)
1 CAO Brazilia Gol ! Maduro (5 x 56)
1 Cubao No. 4 Natural (4 7/8 x 50)
1 Cusano LXI Sun Grown Robusto Natural (5 x 50)
1 Humo Jaguar Robusto Maduro (5 x 52)
1 Montecristo Platinum Robusto Natural (5 x 50)
1 Oliva Cain 550 Habano Natural (5 3/4 x 50)
1 RP Xtreme Sumatra Robusto Natural (5 x 50)
And no one bid against me.
Anyway, I guess these sticks are seconds of the La Zona blend.
I’m a big fan of Espinosa so how bad could they be?
Or the better question is: How great are they?
So keep an eye open, or better yet, give them your email and they will let you know when they are available. Nice tool.
I just thought I would let my lovely readers know about this mysterious deal.
And Wally Guse, these are medium sticks…perfect for you, my lad.
I believe they come in 3 sizes.

Cigar Reviews by Phil 'Katman' Kohn 
I’ll check these guys out…Thanks Katman !
The man puts out good stuff. I hope he doesn’t disappoint by falling into league with the other manufacturers looking to make a fast buck by selling crap.
The only problem I have with their auction site is shipping cost. $9 s/h for a five pack??? Cigarbid is about $6.
I don’t understand. I’ve made three purchases over the last 6 weeks and each time, the entire shipping price was $5.99.
In fact, early this month, I won $263 worth of cigars and it was only $5.99.
Are we talking about the same place?
I won 14 samplers and 5 packs
From Famous:
SUBTOTAL: $263.00
SHIPPING: $5.99
SALES TAX: $0.00
GRAND TOTAL: $273.99
This was my bid purchase from the auctioneer site:
CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve won the following on CigarAuctioneer.com
The Padron Sampler No. 88
———
Sub-total 23.00
Shipping 8.99
=========
TOTAL 31.99
The auctioneer site does not allow for the $5 economy ground shipping! What the $*&@!
Okay, I had initially set up my account with them and never bothered to check the economy shipping rate. So my account automatically set for $8.99 and would not even show $5.99 rate when I logged back in. Had to call them to set it right. I’m an idiot. All that Harvard tuition paid and I get schooled by the Katman ;(
You’re in good idiocy company, pardner.
As Wally said, Ahhh…the Golden Years…
I have been hitting that site hard for the last couple months. I like it when everyone else bids each other up on cigarbid. So let’s talk about this too much :).
