I hope you're all happy...
 

There I was, minding my own business, when I decided to check out cbid. "Oh look, a CI microfibre button-down shirt, that would be nice on the golf course." Sold for $19 to the newbie from NY. "Oh hey, there's a box of those tasty Perdomo Lot 826s, and the high bid is only $25." And they're all mine. BWAHAHAHAHA!
Please, stop me before I bid again... :r

The Devil got ya.....:r:r:r

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

It is slippery.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

I can stop any time I wan---oh look, a travel humidor...

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

:tpd: This is just the beginning.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

lol
I've been trying to win one of those for a long time!
I just have a set price and if it goes over, I find another one to bid on!

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Your soul now belongs to Cbid!!!:fl

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Step 1 - Remove your Credit Card from you wallet

Step 2 - Place your Credit Card in a container of water

Step 3 - Place container in freezer

At least this way, you will have to thaw it out before you pay. :D

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Is it bad when you can remember your credit card number by heart including exp. date and security code? Damn slope.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

no turning back now

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

I think I got a pretty good deal on those Perdomos. CI normally sells them for $44.95/box. I can see how cbid got its nickname, though. Your CC is on file in your account, and there's really no confirmation process when you bid.

Excerpt from the Kreth Bailout Hearings, late 2009
 

Senator Vitter: "Mr. Kreth, you're asking the American taxpayers for $1.2 billion dollars. Is that correct?"

Kreth: "Yes, Senator. I believe that figure should cover my cigar-related debt. You guys really screwed us with that S-CHIP deal."

Senator Shelby: "How does one man indebt himself for that amount of money?"

Kreth: "Well, sir, I lay the blame squarely on the membership of the Cigar Asylum internet forum. You see, I was perfectly happy smoking the occasional cigar, and was planning to pick up a small humidor to keep my smokes nice and fresh. But nooooooo! 'Go bigger!' they said. 'Stay away from cigarbid.com," they said. 'You'd better be really careful so you don't wind up addicted to cigarbid.com.' And the worst part is, they would put a link right in the post, so I all had to do was click it. Sure it started small, a box of cigars here, a humidor upgrade there. Next thing you know, I cashed in my life insurance to buy a rental property and converted it into a walk-in humidor. 50,000 cigars, all at my fingertips. They're enablers, the whole lot of them."
"And now I've got that cigar monkey so bad [sobbing] some days, I'll smoke a Swisher Sweet so I don't have to throw off the RH in my apartmentdor. Do you have any idea what 2500 pounds of beads costs these days?!"

Senator Gillibrand: "Let's take a recess so Mr. Kreth can compose himself."

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

ROFL Ive managed to stay away, Stop tempting me! Devil stand behind

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

That is an illness. You should get checked out:D

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

C-bid is hard to resist.:tu

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Too late now junior......





:r

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Kreth... quickly get pictures of your humi now...and then look again in 6 months. The growth rate is amazing.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

I tried, they keep coming out blurry... :r

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

:r:r and oh, looky there,,,a nice burl 20 count humi that I need in the garage when I don't feel like going upstairs to my other 5 humidors that I bought on C Bid,,,,

This could be so real,,,:r:r


When I first joined C Bid I thought that I could control this,,no big deal after all I go to every golf store in America and I don't come home with gloves and balls and clubs,,,so what is the big freakin deal about a cigar website?

I'll tell ya the big freakin deal,,,it's like crack, man,,,the bidding, the cigars, the competition, the taste of your favorite cigar waiting for you to buy them and put them in your already burdened humidors,,,AAAGGGGGGHHHHHH:c

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

So you're the SOB that sniped that from me! :r

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Wait till you get to the dark side; you will want to sell your kidneys for a few boxes. :(

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

What are you talking about? I only remember the first number, and autofill does the rest!:r

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

And remaining balance? I thought everyone was like this.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Speaking as someone who preceeded you on that first step that slid a bit.... beware what lies ahead. :D

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

:r That would be Mr. SOB to you and there are plenty of 20 count burl humis on there. I paid $9 for mine,,,can you stand it? It's perfect for the garage. You'll have to tell me what your initials are on there so I know not to bid against you,,,it's the least I can do for a fellow Devil Worshipper.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

There is no such thing as the "slippery slpoe"
It is a vertical drop off.....:r:r

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

LOL, I'm JV from Oneonta, NY. Usually when I bid I wait until the auction is almost over and snipe it, same as I do on the Bay. But I may be taking advantage of this in the near future.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

I've found that the best solution is just to have my paycheck direct deposited to CBid -- that way there's no risk that I'll spend any of my money on anything other than cigars and related paraphernalia.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Ok Jeff (JV) from Oneota,NY,,I will respect your turf unless I see you bidding on my RP's or Padilla 1932's,,,,or those Hemingways,,,or,,,ya know, maybe we should just split a box. I looked at the link you gave but I learned along time ago when I bought my car that I put it on the HELOC card and I can write off the interest,,,same with my cigars as they are now being written off. I gotta figure out some angle on this as I have been circling the drain for quite some time now.

I thought about doing that but when I gave it more thought I decided to make sure my cigars could be a write off,,,see above.:ss

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

No promises on the RPs. I've liked every stick I've tried so far, especially the Vintage 90s and Old Worlde Reserves. :ss

That's certainly doable, but I have to take a short break to keep peace with the wife, at least until I get paid again... :r

To be honest, it's not gonna happen for me right away. But I think when I'm ready to upgrade I'll go straight to a Vino.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

It's gotten to a point where I'm happy when I get an email saying I've gotten outbid, because that way I can save money.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Damn you Jeff,,,lol,,,I love the Vintage 90's and Old World. Wait til you try the Decade and the Renaissance,,,omg!!!

Aint that the truth,,,,when I get a notice that says I have been outbid I pretend it's coming from a higher power and that is good enough for me. :al

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

nice pick up

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

LOL...that reminds me of my devil site days. I would bid on so much that the next morning I was hoping I got outbid on half of it. :)

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Damn you right back, I just had to check cbid for singles or 5ers of those two. Resisted the temptation to bid, for now... :r

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Gotta love cbid/CI. I received an e-mail this morning that my order (which I won Monday night) has shipped. When I check the tracking, it's already out for local delivery. Unfortunately, I woke up this morning feeling like I've been gargling drano, so no smokes for Jeff today.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

I know how you feel. I have been battling a sore throat for 3 days. Has that stopped me from smoking? Nope. But, I have to work today...so I won't smoke...hopefully my throat will be healed by tommorow. Hope you feel better. :)

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

Thanks, Doc.

Re: I hope you're all happy...
 

you mean you guys don't have your credit card information stored at Cbid?
