Re: Cigar Bid
 

I was just kidding, mainly because I keep buying more and more cigars and I'm reaching terminal velocity on the slope. I can't wait to try 'em. I'm also looking to buy a box of illusione, undercrown and hemingways.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Go get 'em!!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I enjoy the DUHC far more than the Shorty. I find the Shorty to be a natural tobacco barnyard flavor and the UHC to be a much more mocha/cocoa profile.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I just bid on 2 different cigars, but not feeling very good about them and hoping I get overbid.....just think I can get a better a deal somewhere else with samplers, oh well will see what happens, they end tomorrow

Re: Cigar Bid
 

That's pretty much why I try not to use Cbid. I bid on stuff and hope it gets outbid.:confused:

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Lol, that's kinda f*d up isn't it?

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Signing in now!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

You should always check your go to sites before placing bids at the debbil site.

I can't tell you how many times I see folks over bidding on items that they could get any ol' time at CI.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Silly silly man....:r
Lately it has been terrible on the cbid. I don't know if its a rash of kids with new credit cards or booze is half price but I have watched more auctions close over retail (Not even current market price) Than ever. Why would people use a auction type site to pay more than just ordering it? Maybe just the thrill of out bidding someone.....dunno. :confused:

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Frikkin devil site. "Oh, I'll just see what they have today." Now my bid count is 85 cigars. Crap. Hope I get outbid. But not on all of them. Actually I want all of them. Crap. I need more money.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

This frustrates me to no end. I always check a couple of my go-to sites to see what I can get something for on a regular basis and if I cant get it on cbid for significantly less, I dont even bother. It seems that people see that its an auction and automatically think they are getting the best deal (that or they see what cbid lists as the msrp for an item and still think they're getting a good deal). Oh well.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

The other thing I think people forget to factor in is the cbid shipping costs. if you are only buying singles or a fiver now and then, cbid can be a very expensive way to go.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

YEP! I have screamed the following at my computer a few times; "good god man! WTF? Just right click the mouse and choose "search with Google" or copy and paste in to a couple of the better online sites.":bhd

:D

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Depends on your strategy.:su

Wouldn't let it get to you guys. If it weren't for the overbids, CI'd have no reason to keep it running and allow some of us to steal a cigar every now and then.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

My Cbid order finally came in, in no particular order:

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6...0556106995.jpg

Total $72.95

The AB Max The Fix are not from cbid

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Nice, Mickey.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Geez I need to get off of that site. I've gotten a humidor, some Xikar Lighters and cutters, and cigars like everyone else.

I will say that I bid and won the Mayan X Cloissone(sp?) cutter and they shipped me the wrong one. Called and the lady let me keep the one they sent instead of waiting about 3 weeks to get the correct cutter. (Im deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba) She looked up the last three auctions and gave me the lowest price and refunded me the difference.

Right now Im waiting on some 5 FFOX Lost City Robustos, 5 Don Carlos Belicosos, 5 Sun Grown Chateau Fuente, and 3 Take 5 AVO Robusto samplers

I need to block the site for a while lol

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Too late...once you let the devil in your heart you're doomed for all eternity

Just look what he did to my avatar!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

True! I recieved an email from a friend to the cigarauctioneer website and thankfully I didn't create an account... yet

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Ditto, but since they have gift certificates to Famous on there, I just may be taking that plunge soon as well....oh help me.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

from what I saw. It offers a slight different offerings on accesories. which is good for me. I dont know why but I like collecting the different xikar cutters.

havent really looked at what cigars they have. Which my wallet is thanking me right now lol

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Lol, I haven't bought a Xikar cutter yet, but I am looking at them more and more.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I like the way they look and feel and what sold me was the lifetime guarantee.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I've had mine for 4yrs now. I love it!!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Wow! That's a long time for a cutter Ben, never had to have it replaced?

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Not yet, still pretty sharp. Course I don't smoke on a daily basis. I hear Xikar will sharpen them for free for life. Course it maybe not a hard task to do your self with a awl like file.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Yeah, I knew about the lifetime warranty thing....that is once major +

Ok enough banter, back to the topic at hand

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I broke down and spend a ton of money on cbid last week. Ended up with about 35 cigars, a herfador, and a stinky for about $145 shipped. Need to stay away for awhile now.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Nice Tyler, don't forget to post in here when it comes in.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I received my first cbid purchase today. I thought I did pretty good for $145 shipped.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Nice grabs Tyler and Jerry!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

What did this run ya Jerry if ya don't mind me asking?

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Tengel78,
Word of caution on that herfador. Be gentle with the latches. I had a 5-count in the blaze orange, but it didn't last very long at all. I love my old, plain black ones, and I liked the concept here - the color and rubberization. However, the way the latches are attached on/through the rubber coating doesn't allow for them to last. First latch came off after about 5 uses. I continued to use it with one for just a few more uses until that one came off, too.
The latches break right off with the sealant. Good luck - be gentle.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Thanks for the warning Dave. I'll be gentle with it.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I've started what may be the gentle portion of a slide... in my first week on CigarBid I bought 4 x 5 packs... Perdomo 826 Slow-Aged Churchill Maduro (the reason I signed up to begin with), Tiera Del Sol Toro Maduro, Tiera Del Sol Churchill Natural, and Bahia Blu B500 Robusto. I would have added a Perdomo 826 Slow-Aged Natural and one of the cheap-o Perdomo branded 20-30 count humis had they been available within my weekly shipping window...

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Nice hauls guys!

I am curious about the price of the take5's too. I saw these in a B&M for like 40 each.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

This happened to mine too, but mine is straight up black, I just put them back on when they come off they seem to snap right into place, so idk :sh

Saving up for a 40 ct.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I want to say 390 shipped. Not sure if I got a a good deal on some but Im not able to get on the internet everyday so I bid what I was willing to pay.

The humi - $13
AVO Take 5 x3 - $25 a piece
Xikar -$40
Boveda 12 pack - 37
AF Sun Grown Chataeu Fuente 5 pack - $27
AF Don Carlos Belicoso Single x5 - $9 a piece
FFOX Lost City Robusto 5 pack - $130

Also I got a link to a website that has all the previous cbid auctions to show what the item went for in previous auctions. but i didnt get it until after I won. go figure.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

My recent Cbid acquisitions.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...8/3020b5da.jpg

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I just had 35 cigars come in last Tuesday from the Cigar Satanic. Box 5 Vegas A 'Alpha' Belicosos, a 10 pk Padilla sampler and a 5 pk of Padilla 1932 Torpedos. I have another order that will ship out Thursday. I hope I can get another 40 - 50 sticks on this one.:D

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I got this week's C-bid order today too. I have a couple questions for those more knowledgeable than myself too. First, the JJ's have a different band than the ones I've smoked previously. I am assuming that this is an older band because of the seriously yellowed cello, but would appreciate confirmation on this theory.
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D550/ry%3D400/
And second, there is a crack on the on the cap of the Padron. Would you guys contact c-bid customer service over this issue? I am thinking it would still be pretty smokable but the wrapper seems like it would unravel a bit.
http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D550/ry%3D400/

Re: Cigar Bid
 

The cap shouldn't be cracked like that. It could be shipping damage but I've always gotten a well packed package from them. No much so from cigarauctioneer, where they'll throw a box of cigars in a box 10 times it's size and not pack it with anything.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I got a 40 count on the way.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Well, I'm stocked for a while. Another box of 5 Vegas A belicosos, 5 pk of 5 Vegas relics and a box of LFD airbender maestros.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

:tu I'm ready now for my trip to New Orleans this weekend.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I'm saving for one...congrats!

Very nice, a 5 Vegas whore I see :hm

Love NOLA, I have family there....enjoy.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Nice pick-ups guys!
