Thompson Auction

I've gotten awesome deals on Thompson auctions. $9 5-packs of 601 BP Maduros, Lot 23, Cuesta Reys, and similar.

Have had no problems with them. Just saying...  

$9 for the 601 Maduros?  That is a steal!

Anyone have substitution problems with auctions at Thompson?

I almost never buy from Thompson, too many house brands that I have no idea what they'll taste like. I do watch their auction site, cumbersome software. I picked up a box of 05 Camacho Liberty's a couple of weeks ago. Why they had them I have no idea...

Not me.
Again, I'm not a fan of Thompson, but I've found some cheap house brands (Tusker, La Condesa, Don Lugo) from them that aren't bad. Then again, I've found that all of their Rocky Patel exclusives are crap.
I've bought more from CI and I had to return a box of dried out, plugged cheap cigars from them once. Of course, their customer service is as good as you've heard.
