Congrats on the win!

Did the same thing a bit back.... I have made quite a few bids since, but stick to what I think would be a SMOKING(no pun intended) deal and if it goes over my initial max bid, I don't go back. Have only bid on boxes and only won the once....

Though the slippery slope is SOOOOO true... I started smoking cigars in mid September and cannot believe the cash I have dropped the past 4 months.....:confused:

It starts...

Wait until you have to convince her you need a 400ct humidor when you only have about 30 sticks and then try to hide the fact that you are slowly filling it while still buying cigars to smoke when you go to the local cigar lounge...

Wait, why does that sound familiar?!?!

:hm

The nub box is pretty small.... i'd get a larger tupperware type
of container, and a boveda 2way humi pack and enjoy!:dr

But be forewarned... U can pick up so many great deals on
cbad that u can easily spend over 100.00 every time you
go on there!

Let the games begin! :tf

Good, Large Tupperware & 65 RH Boveda Packs Is A Great Start. 1-2 Boveda Packs In A Large Tupperware Should Hold 30 Sticks Very Well. Here's The Site I Use: www.bovedadirect.com :tu

You're doomed.

Once that bug bites, it never goes away.


Next thing you know, the bill will be $300 and you won't know what to do with all of it!

You should just give up and buy a 90,000 count humidor and be done with it.:r

This is not something you congratulate a man on.

This is something where your brothers close ranks and weep for what might have been if not for the devil!

Congrats on your first box purchase!

Surprising to me that you purchased a box of these without trying one before, especially after your review of the olivia that you tried.

Nub started as a theory. Born in the Oliva factory, a cigar maker was hell-bent on proving he could capture the essence - the core - of a cigar’s flavor immediately upon lighting and throughout the duration of the smoke. Well, they nailed it.

dubs chops 01-27-2010 09:47 AM

Re: won my first cbid auction
 
Hey, If I don't care for them I can give them to my non smoker friends that drop by from time to time. And from the reviews I have read I believe I will like them.
I also think the oliva I got was a bad stick.

Congrats! Like others have said, C-Bid can be a slippery slope; was for me anyway.
I do have a solution to your storage problem...I have a ton of extra room in one of my humi's and I would be willing to smoke 'em---eh, I mean store 'em for ya! :ss

Re: won my first cbid auction
 
I just found that slippery slope of cbid as well actually about two weeks ago. So far i've purchased 2 5 packs (5 vegas originals, and a pepin sampler) and a lighter. I really need to stop browsing at work.

this could be a problem. uhoh.

It can be addictive, but it's a great way to try new smokes on the cheap.

Deveil site claims another BOTL.....let's hope he doesn' find out about the monster site. His wife will kill him....

cigarz 01-28-2010 06:50 AM

Re: won my first cbid auction
 
That site got me too. My first cbid win was 12/23 and I have had three more since, and my virgin buy on monster was last night!( a CAO 4 pack).

As said before in this thread, it's a one way street with no stop signs!

I actually was on monster first. Got A few things off their the first night I found it, When I happen to walk by my computer and see the monster mashup I told my wife who was waiting on me to watch a movie "Hang on I just seen something I need to take care of and it is only gonna be here for 4 more minutes." lol

skier171 01-28-2010 02:33 PM

Re: won my first cbid auction

Must...keep off sites at work...
