Nothing good. Pirates gold...?...
Any bids I win like that will likely get sent to the troops.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Go to the local B&M, ask them for them.. Or they may even sell them for cheap. That is what I ended up doing..

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I just scored a 5er of Oliva G maduros on Cigar Auctioneer for 10 bucks!!:banger

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Keeping an eye on a box of diesels in free fall. Also watching a 5er of gurkha beast. I have been wanting to try one for a while.

I'm watching some boxes of 5 Vegas AAA. Going to buy two - one for me and one for my son in law for the birth of my first grandbaby - Aubrey Nicole

Already sent him a couple of FFOX for our own private celebration on that day. The 5 Vegas will be our handout cigars

The bad thing is I will probably be in India on a joint training exercise with the Indian Army when she is born so I'll have to carry all these with me

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Just put them in the coolidor for some down time before I light one up!:noon

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I am curious how you are going to line the cooler. How would you stick the cedar to the walls of the cooler?

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Congratulations!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I have bought a couple boxes of 30 Diesel Unholy Cocktails on the Freefall when they are about $75. I like 'em as a every day smoke. I think they have a tendency to go south after about 2/3 of the way through, but I can live with that.

I used hot glue. No after smell, and so far its worked great..

I havent had them go sour on me. I usually smoke them down to the nub.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I received a CBID shipment today of two boxes of the Torano Noventa robustos. These were some serious coin a few years ago, but they were basically dumping them last week for $49.50 a box (25). The one I am smoking tonight is well made and has quite a bit of heft to it. It is well packed for sure and has a good draw and good amount of smoke. I am having some trouble describing how it tastes - it reminds me of a jacked up Nub Habano. The Noventa is a habano x 2, with a habano wrapper and binder. Despite its Nicaraguan makeup, it doesn't really have that typical Nicaraguan zing (pepper) you would expect. I am guessing that has been aged or fermented out of it for the most part. I wouldn't describe it as being complex, but the base flavor is hearty and is surprisingly creamy for a smoke with this much medium-full body. I could see that it might not have the mass appeal they may have been shooting for, but overall, I am digging it, particularly at the bargain basement price of just under $2 a stick.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Just got my order confirmation......nothing too exciting but 60 cigars for $ 49 with shipping? Tough to beat that for troop support. Our local Guard unit is gonna have a nice little care package.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Won a box of Diesel Unlimited for $50 and a 10pk of Torano Exodus Silver for $25

Re: Cigar Bid
 

If for some reason the Diesel doesn't look or taste right to ya.. I can defiantly get it off your hands.. I'd even pay for the shipping, just to help you move it.:D

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I just spent 5 minutes there, and have $75 in bids out... Hope I don't win all of these or I may be single and homeless soon.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I wished they used USPS priority when shipping since it takes a full week to get shipments (I'm just complaining because I'm on the West Coast)

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I wish they would let me pick up instead of shipping. They won't let you though, I think because they overcharge a small amount on shipping to make up a little on their loses.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Where are the pics???!!!!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I would post some but my shipment still hasn't arrived :(

Re: Cigar Bid
 

:tg

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Got my shipment of the Gurkha Cigarnivore IV sampler in yesterday...bid on them before I found out that they were mostly hype. I hope I enjoy some of them, I'll post pics when I get home from....um..you know.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Never had a Gregorio II fatboy but got a fiver for $7. Well well worth it. So much so that I bid on another 3 5ver's and won them for $7 a 5ver.

I hope the rest of them are half as good as the first two I had.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Win-Win....you may be sleeping alone under a bridge but you got a bunch more money to spend at cbid.:tu

They got this figured out....deliveries the same day as the next order is billed. My order should be here today....pic's to follow.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

My first orders here!!!!!
http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/828/floodcbid013.jpg
not all of it made it into this order. I guess next weeks will be a bit bigger!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Holy crap! That's one SOLID order!! My wife would murder me if that many cigars came in one shipment :sl

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I have to hide when I get a 5er in

Re: Cigar Bid
 

+1

Re: Cigar Bid
 

The next order's more exciting than this one.....:D

My method; I always tell the wife about "orders" after a mattress dance, Then it's all good....I can get away with anything!;)

Re: Cigar Bid
 

:lr :tu

Awesome haul brother!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Classy! :su

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Hey if it works...DO IT! I don't think anything could get my wife to really accept my new little hobby. Only time will tell :rolleyes:

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Dude, fell for the Gurhka hype as well. Got 35 stick of various ones. 25 of them are not great (not the worst thing Ive smoked). Ever since I have been on here I have learned a lot about good and great.

You're not alone!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

My latest CIGARBID winnings/purchases

****Felipe II Fat-Boy Extra~ this was the cheapest 5 pack out of all of them and was probably the best. go figure.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Haha glad to hear it. Just wish I had spent a little bit more time on the forums before I ran off to the devil site. Oh well, you live and you learn. Now I take advice from the veterans before I pick up anything :)

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I have almost given up on CBid. They just are not putting up the cigars I like at all.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I got a 5er of the Black Bears too, haven't tried one yet, didn't know they were mild.....oh well.

Curious about the Fat boys.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Free fall isn't falling for me, I gotta refresh the page to get a new price.:confused:

It definitely makes watching some of this stuff kind of a pain. :tg

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I got another 5 pack for a buck! WOO HOO. more troop sticks! Lots of other goodies too! I told the wife that some of my winnings are going to service men/women and she gave my total Clarence! she actually said "start buying more" :noon.....dangerous words there!:sw......

Pics to follow....(thursday's)

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Guys I just want to throw this out there. I know a few are new to C Bid and I was guilty of this also when I first started out.....do your home work. I went on last night and was interested in a few things until I saw the bids were within a couple of bucks (literally ) of CIs regular price. With free shipping they would be cheaper off the regular site. Now drunk bidding is a whole different story :bhd :r

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Yep, Thats how they make money. It happens alot! there was a sampler pack I wanted real bad so I max bid it about five dollars under the normal site price and it ended up selling for 6 dollars over!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I started checking the Cigars International price as soon as I realized that Cigarbid was run by CI. =P

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I see that on quite a few auctions. I always check prices before I bid

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I've done this a few times, but nothing more than like a buck over what they cost. Lesson learned!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Just got 5er of Graycliff Avelino Lara 80th Piratas for $20, they go for $75 on CI. Also have 5ers of Gran Habano Vintage 2002 Robustos ($9) and Fonseca Arana Toros ($4). Two of my favorite smokes cheap. Love that place, of course my wife is going to kill me. I have some cutters and other stuff this week too...

Re: Cigar Bid
 

yea.... tell me about it.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Snagged 2 (10) packs of Montecristo white #2s for $45 & $42.50. Not much of a mild cigar smoker but couldn't pass on that deal. They were on the free fall auction for a while!:tu

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Nice pick-up Mark

I try to put in my max bid by my 3rd or 4th beer now and the don't look until morning :D

Re: Cigar Bid
 

loved the FG Fatboys and at $7 for a 5ver go for it. Black bears weren't bad just not all that great either. Both me and my buddy said the same about them. YMMV of course.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Got my first shipment ever in from Cbid today to begin my hobby :D. Wife was less than pleased when UPS made the drop off as she was reminded of the money spent lol. This is the beginning of the end I believe :tf
