Cigar Auction worth a shot?

[snuffysmiff]

I see that there's an auction coming up. Is it worth a punt for some aged stock, or is there too much chance of getting something too dry and shrivelled? I've got one of those in the house already! Many boxes are sealed, so... . Has anyone had experience of an auction's purchase results?

It's run by Mitch. I'm fairly sure they check how every things been stored and the quality should be good.

I think Mitch takes quality control seriously but there is always a risk with old cigars (like wine) that they can be expired. If you have the experience or nerve go for it otherwise there are safer purchasing options.
