Re: Cigar Bid
 

Just a newcomer question:

Are the boxes, the cigars are shipped in, marked as Cigarbid? Or are they standard USPS labels? It would be tons better if it wasn't advertised as to what's inside!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

They are not labeled as CigarBid. It's a standard box with something like CI Warehouse or the like as the senders address.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I love this thread

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Thanks much, Aaron. Also, does each item get charged a shipping price? Or is it just once price for all of your items?

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I believe there is an option for shipping all your winnings at one time to save on shipping, but I am not the master of cbid, so I don't know....anyone? :sh

Re: Cigar Bid
 

There's a first item shipping cost (the highest one) and nominal additional charges for each other item. "Shipping Savings Program." It does add up quick though. The company could save us time and money using USPS but I guess they must have a sweet deal with UPS.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

See....this guy knows....have you seen his hauls? Thanks for the info :tu

Re: Cigar Bid
 

You need to set up weekly shipping to get the combined shipping savings.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Alright, I opted for that right at the beginning. Thanks guys!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Uh oh..............

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Hahahaha, I know...I've only bid on singles so far, as I don't have any proper storage. I really hope I can control the urges....

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Proper storage can be found under merchandise. Muwahahaha

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Oh, God, no...

Re: Cigar Bid

Re: Cigar Bid
 

We lost another one........:ss


Btw....If you only take one piece of advice ever....Buy the biggest humidor you possibly can afford.then go size or two up from that! No joke.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

:r :r :r :r


Ain't no possible way, my friend, no way at all - ask me how I know... :D
Good luck and have fun with your up-and-coming addiction!

Next Thursday can't get here soon enough... I am such an addict!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I spent a lot of time on CBID back in '06 and '07--and still have a bunch of cigars around from those days.

One thing to keep in mind is that your tastes will change over time--so the smoke you love today may do nothing for you in a couple of years.

The other thing is that there really are diamonds in the rough with aging--the problem is that you will not know which of your purchases will fit that description when you buy them.

In short, it is a crap shoot. Enjoy it!

P.S. I am still married--praise be to the cigar gods.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

AWESOME Haul Macon! What did all that run ya with shipping?

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Those bahia trins, I like those ones. Real good smoke for the $$. I tried the Bahia Blu, Didn't care for them as much as those right there.

I think I may pick up a few more for an everyday smoke.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Those JDN are a great smoke! good haul man! I am in the process of weening myself off cbid....well maybe not completely off...just 20 a week or maybe....40 or maybe just....80......Yup I'm a addict too......:r

Re: Cigar Bid
 

$176.00 Mickey.. Shipping and all!

Garry... That was the only one I have smoked so far and was quite impressed. Like you said for the money it's not a bad smoke even if you only smoked 1/4 of it and threw it away.

Jared... I am looking forward to the JDN.... I may have to torch one up tonight!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

VERY nice for all that! :tu

Re: Cigar Bid
 

So, I don't know why this is making me think so hard, hahaha. I ordered a lighter, a cutter, a hygro and a few cigars from the "devil-site". Now, the highest shipping price is 4.95. Is that what I'm going to pay, in total, for shipping? Or does each item jack up the shipping?

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Well if you go into your account settings and select to have your shipping done weekly instead of each item seperatley it will save you a ton of money. Even if you don't plan on buying anything else. (Hard to do) Each item will have seperate shipping charge added to it if you don't select weekly shipping. Besides.. if you are like the rest of us you will have a revolving account on cbid and be buying things all the time and saving a ton of money compared to retail prices if you do your homework. They ship fill your order on Thursdays and Ship out every Friday whe you select this option fyi...

Happy Bidding! :noon

Re: Cigar Bid
 

The items in the merchandise section add $1 each after the first, full price shipping item. If you bought single cigars they ship for $0.25 (a quarter) each with combined shipping. I think 5ers are $0.50. So, $4.95 for highest shipping item plus $2 for additional merchandise and $.25 per cigar. If you got 4 smokes for $1 shipping the total would be $7.95. Hope this helps.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I really wish that Cigarbid would use a moniker like "Walmart" or "Super America" on their charges. On a related note, I really need to keep my wife from seeing the credit card statement... It says CIGARS all over it.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

That's a easy fix (next time), get visa gift cards insted. That way you will be spending money you actually have and not credit. And animosity too boot.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I've managed to stay away from here so far. Worried that one purchase will turn into a second mortgage in order to support my hobby. :r

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Come Tyler, u have willpower dont'cha? I have faith In ya. Go ahead start browsing.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Don't tempt me! But I do have those 1/2 lb of beads on the way, and a new cooler airing out. Hmm, I guess it can't hurt to just look...

Re: Cigar Bid
 

My soul is damned for all eternity.

Long have I sacrificed at the altar of the Dark Lord and master of all things related to the so-called Devils Weed.

Oooh look.....Tatauajes on Free Fall...gotta go

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Fixt it for you.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Ahh you guys made me log into the devil site, had to win on free fall a 5 pack of tats :r:r

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Hi my name is mike and I...... wait this is the wrong meeting or is it...:sl

I have fallen victim to what you call the "devil site" Since finding it I have 4 stuffed humidors and cannot stop ordering I now need to acquire another humidor to fit whats coming this week... I fear buying or making a cabinet but thats where it is heading....if this continues I will be on that hoarders show...

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I was determined to stay away from the devil site for a little while longer, but those AB Seconds on free fall are calling my name. "Bear, don't you want us? Wouldn't we be tasty little treats?" :bh :bh :bh

Re: Cigar Bid
 

:hy

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Just buy a marine cooler. You'll never fill that up :D

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I wish I hadn't found out about the Diesel UHC. I have 50 of them now.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Well if that is to much for you.. That is one of my favorite cigars.. I can take some off..

Try the Diesel Shorty!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

That's next on my list :)

Re: Cigar Bid
 

To me, It is slightly better than the UHC.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Garry, you aren't helping.:r

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Sure I am.. I am giving you ideas on more to try.. Opening the door a bit more for ya.
