Cigar Weekly

Let's say you have a friend who makes a very good lving. He asks you for a suggestion on what to store his cigars in and you sort of half jokingly suggest an Avallo. Shortly thereafter, he lets you know that it is on its way (!). Now, after less than a year, he says he's moving and he has no place for the Avallo. He tells you he wants to sell itand try to recoup most of what he spent on it (sell for around 800 versus original cost of approx 1200). You say that you would like to buy it from him and he offers it to you for 600. You certainly can't afford a $600 humidor, but can you afford to pass up an Avallo at 50% off?

Does it suit your needs, or will it in the near)-ish) future?
If you have a desktop and are thinking of upgrading to a coolerdor, you could be a ways away from needing that much space.
If you're already in coolerdor trritory and might need more space, I'd seriously consider it.

Oh- this is unless you'er married, then Avallo=

Well, this is an Avallo 1200 (the end table sized one) and i have 3 desktops with more purchases planned in the near future. I was going to go coolerdor very soon, but now this seems to be a golden opportunity.

Go for it!

Will he let you make payments on it?

pnutbutrsangwich · 07-06-2006, 07:52 AM

Haha you know I thought about that. I'll have to check with him. I bet he would to be honest.

Don't think about it.....BUY IT! Pretend that you spent the money on something you had no choice, like you had to go to the dentist or something.

Smoker06 · 07-06-2006, 06:35 PM

If it's what you need, buy it. You'll never see a price like that again.

You're nuts if you let this opportunity go by!!!!!

justin51 · 07-06-2006, 07:29 PM

can you seriously afford NOT to? You'll be kicking your own ass in a year when you're shelling out 1200 for a new one, when you could have had the same thing for half-off!!!
