Re: Cigar Bid
 

Hmmm.....empty.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Cuz I just got it. Don't worry. It's for travel.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Forgot I bidded on a 15-ct travel humidor and 3 finger leather case last weekend and won both of them. Doh! I don't even need them...

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Aaaaaaand a pack of 20 Padilla top tier featuring 4 different sizes. I'm toast.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Big_Pete, if you don't need that 3-finger, PM me a pic and price and maybe we can work something out...

Re: Cigar Bid
 

It wouldn't be worth it to ship. I got it for $5 before shipping.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

If it was mine, I would just bomb it out or throw it in as an extra during a trade at some point.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I have that same Pelican case, with the engraved name plate attached and it is awesome!!! I pulled out some of the foam, and can easily fit twice as many smokes than what it claims! Enjoy!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I have read that a bunch.. Taking out the foam and able to fit way more.

Re: Cigar Bid

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Anybody else ever get an empty box from the cigarbid? I got one on tuesday, with an invoice in it and nothing else. They were very quick to re-ship and did not question me at all, which is cool. But seriously, an empty box? I've had two mistakes in packaging in a row now, both of which have been made right ASAP. What I take from this is that someone in distribution needs to be canned but the customer service is top notch.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Mark,
That is very consistent with what most have found for years now. CI has clearly decided that shortchanging their picking and packing operation can be easily offset with great CS. I've had a number of complaints about shipments over the years, but they've always made it right immediately. Great prices on cigars I want combined with that CS is enough to keep me coming back.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

sounds like the UPS man likes stogies :r

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Hmmmmm, I just happen to have a brother that's a supervisor in the Minneapolis UPS hub... Where are my stogies Mattso3000? :sl :r:r:r

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I just wanted to say thanks a lot to everyone on the forum. I hadn't been on cbid until I joined this forum last week, now I'm checking it at least 4-5 times a day and have already won 5 auctions. I blame all of you for my new addiction good thing I have a second humidor coming this week.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Yup...they are in my humidor. I did a nice job of taping it back up, too.:gary

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Must be why I always get my shipment on time and in proper order. I smacked you around good in the NST a while back as I am sure you remember and take care to get my goods to me on time and in good shape.... <G>

Re: Cigar Bid
 

6 fivers shipped yesterday, and it looks like in 45 minutes I'm gonna be the proud daddy of 3 more fivers 2 singles and a box.

Uh oh

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I recommend you opt for a weekly shipment. :2

Re: Cigar Bid
 

+1000000

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Yeah I did that after my first day on the site.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Damn the devil site. It made me buy a Palio cutter

Re: Cigar Bid
 

The devil site made me buy a Xikar Trezo triple flame lighter .....

Oh and because of the site I was forced to build a humidor for all my sticks..

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Sweet! Get that wine out and put it in a kitchen cabinet. You'll double your stash!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I agree!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I don't recommend cbid because the more who bid, the higher the price I'll pay!:D
I have 35 more sticks arriving Tuesday. 1 box 25 Arturo Fuente Hemingway best seller, 5'er of 5 Vegas Relic and an Oliva 5 pack sampler.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

So you're the SOB who outbid me. :sl:sl:sl

;)

Re: Cigar Bid
 

There were 4 other units. :sh :D
I started to go for the box but I'd busted my budget.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

What's wrong with that??:noon

Re: Cigar Bid
 

It just helps feed into my addiction :gary

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Seems like I keep winning a single 5-pack over the weekend, and I spend the M-W looking for other 5-packs, singles, or accessories to boost the order and offset shipping charges. Unfortunately, by that time, there aren't any accessories ending on or before Wednesday night so I'm left scrounging for singles. If I win a 5-pack for $5-$10, I basically try to pad the order up to $20ish so I don't feel like I've paid such a high percentage of my order on shipping.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Yea they defiantly have it down to a science and rape on the shipping (which takes a week to reach me when flat rate USPS takes two days) but if you buy smart there is still a bunch of money to be saved.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

These guys have great customer service. I recently had to dispose of a Hemingway Best Seller due to a slice caused by the band and a Tat Miami that was crushed by my Stinky Jr. The Cbid team is refunding me for those purchases. Great cs goes a long way to keep me happy!!!

:tu

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I peeked my head into the Devil Site. As the Rush song says, "I can learn to resist anything but temptation...." Just a few singles and a Xikar ash can. Probably won't win. It's enough to justify shipping.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Fun. I have a 5er I just won yesterday and trying tying to snag a few shirts for 4 bucks.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

That's how it starts...

Place bids thinking that you'll never win since it's so cheap

Go back, realize you've won most if not all of your lots

Rinse and Repeat


You're doomed

:D

Re: Cigar Bid
 

LOL. I know. I won the three sticks I bid on, the ash can bidding ends tonight, I think.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Well, I have one question. What website(s) / places do you look to compare prices and make sure you are actually bidding at a price that is good. I am still getting a feel for my taste and want to try various samplers, and this devil site may be the place for me to do that. But, I don't want to pay for something that isn't good, or over pay for something.

So, currently I have no issues with the devil site, because I am to afraid to bid on anything for fear of getting jipped. You all might save me money by not responding. ;)

Re: Cigar Bid
 

on cbid, I check cigars intl, they are who runs it.. Make sure you pay no more than what cigarintl sells for. I also compare to famous smokes..

Use places you normally buy from online.. Never hurts to 'shop' around.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Since Cbid is owned by Cigars International/Cigar.com, it's always a good idea to check there for their everyday price before you bid.

I've often seen bids go for much higher than what they could've purchased it for outright over at either of those two sites.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

One of the best pieces of advice I got on here regarding Cigar Bid is... Don't get caught up in a bidding war, what you want will almost always come around again in a few days... So far that has rung so true for me.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Try Thompson's. :r

:sl

;s

Re: Cigar Bid
 

What I do...If I am interested in something I highlight product key words, right click, use "search with Google", open it in another window and start checking prices.Keep cbid shipping in mind, set a price on a item and don't go over on it!!! That item will come up again and again and again.(most of the time)
There's times to bid and times to wait you will learn with time. :2

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I use C-bid And Cigarauctioneer.com--- I e-mailed cigarauctioneer 3 weeks in a row to delay my shippment till I had "enough" to justify the shipping --they did it no problem--- Im sure c-bid would do the same

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Best advice ever, some of these people drop money on it without first doing their homework. Why pay retail price + shipping (or worse, even more) when you could do the same thing at a retailer?? Better yet, I think some sites offer free shipping depending on dollar amount....the item will eventually come around again so definitely don't get caught up in a bidding war! Like the OpusX...dunno why people pay $20+ on a single stick when you can get them for less than that with shipping :confused:

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Anyone else having problems with five pack damage? They recently went to packing five packs firmly on greenish cardboard and I have had numerous cigars with bent and broken caps and feet. Anyone else? I emailed them and they said they would make note of it with no offer of replacement.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Jared, they have came this way from cigar sprint too. No damage though..........

Re: Cigar Bid
 

snagged two herf-a-dors for $25 ea...pretty happy with these!

Re: Cigar Bid
 

Those must be the 40 count?, that's on my list too.

Re: Cigar Bid
 

I have not.. I think since I have been ordering from them, I have had two shipments with damage.

Just got my Diesel's is yesterday, Looked perfect!
