I believe there is an option for shipping all your winnings at one time to save on shipping, but I am not the master of cbid, so I don't know....anyone?

There's a first item shipping cost (the highest one) and nominal additional charges for each other item. "Shipping Savings Program." It does add up quick though. The company could save us time and money using USPS but I guess they must have a sweet deal with UPS.

You need to set up weekly shipping to get the combined shipping savings.

Hahahaha, I know...I've only bid on singles so far, as I don't have any proper storage. I really hope I can control the urges....

mkarnold1 · 02-01-2012, 04:14 PM

I spent a lot of time on CBID back in '06 and '07--and still have a bunch of cigars around from those days.

One thing to keep in mind is that your tastes will change over time--so the smoke you love today may do nothing for you in a couple of years.

The other thing is that there really are diamonds in the rough with aging--the problem is that you will not know which of your purchases will fit that description when you buy them.

In short, it is a crap shoot. Enjoy it!

P.S. I am still married--praise be to the cigar gods.

irratebass · 02-04-2012, 07:32 AM

AWESOME Haul Macon! What did all that run ya with shipping?

CigarSquid · 02-04-2012, 08:42 AM

Those bahia trins, I like those ones. Real good smoke for the $$. I tried the Bahia Blu, Didn't care for them as much as those right there.

I think I may pick up a few more for an everyday smoke.

jluck · 02-04-2012, 11:47 AM

Those JDN are a great smoke! good haul man! I am in the process of weening myself off cbid....well maybe not completely off...just 20 a week or maybe....40 or maybe just....80......Yup I'm a addict too......

02-04-2012, 04:21 PM

$176.00 Mickey.. Shipping and all!

Garry... That was the only one I have smoked so far and was quite impressed. Like you said for the money it's not a bad smoke even if you only smoked 1/4 of it and threw it away.

Jared... I am looking forward to the JDN.... I may have to torch one up tonight!

VERY nice for all that!

Pseudosacred · 02-04-2012, 08:55 PM

So, I don't know why this is making me think so hard, hahaha. I ordered a lighter, a cutter, a hygro and a few cigars from the "devil-site". Now, the highest shipping price is 4.95. Is that what I'm going to pay, in total, for shipping? Or does each item jack up the shipping?
