Any comments from anyone that has tried this MMAO would be appreciated, weather your bids were successful (maybe you could tell me what to do) or just dozens of rejects. Thanks, Rich H.[/quote]

I had informed C.I. I had requested so history from a few forums I frequent and the response was hands down bad when it came to anything said about their MMAO section.

Before I posted in my cigar forums my bid of $25 for 10 LA PERLA HABANA COBRE'S was to COLD! This morning I found my "P.O.'d wise ass bid of $25.01 APPROVED!!! The one cent breaking point? Doubt that.

LOW AND BEHOLD, another 5 bids get approved for me this morning as well. After 100% rejection I was shocked to shi^!!! Maybe the unwanted attention from my posts I let them know about broke the ice. I would be interested to here from anyone who wants to try them now and what the results are? Let me know, please. See if I am a one time wonder or a change in policy is legit. To be honest I was very surprised about the negative routine they had going. I like them above all retailers, not saying JR or FamousSmoke are bad, but for the low budget, decent tasting cigar selection, CI is the best. Here is what I won and what I saved off the CI daily price. Hope they ship them all at once and not bill me $5 for each individual bid to make back some money lost.

C.I. DAILY PRICE compared to MY APPROVED BID, the first is just TO MUCH!
LA PERLA HAB COBRE BEL-10 $35 $25.01

, up from $25

MARK TWAIN-20 $60, won with $40

REPOSADO '96-10 $30, won with $20
MILD AND MELL SAMPLER #2(12) $40, won with $30

PUROS INDIOS SPEC. AGED-6 $20, won with $15
CI LEGENDS GRAYCLIFF-10
(box of 20 is $70 so I still made out) $50, won with $32

Like I said elsewhere the $25 to $25.01 bid approval just makes me laugh and laugh. Again, if anyone tries then again, or for the first time shoot me a note back as to the results. I will be bidding next month and will let you all know if this was a one time fanny slap

ap, or if CI has changed their colors and back up what they say when it comes to taking our money for their product.
