I believe QB is good up until the next bid would be higher than the QB price. I'd jump on this if I had the cash. It's 2/3 of the way to retail with 3 days left. I guarantee some morons will bid this over retail.

These tend to go over retail as I have been watching them and the people that have been saving the most money on them are the ones doing the quick buy option. Cigar Bid is notorious for going over retail but some of the lots I have been watching lately have been ridiculous. I guess it's been a blessing that I have not been able to score any deals over there lately. If going the C-Bid route I would just do the Buy it now price as that is still almost $13 savings.

I have seen some go over retail which is foolish to say the least. Especially whenever CB has an Anejo or an Opus.

As far as this price, $87.50 is pretty good. And if the Colibri cutter from CI doesn't mean anything to you, it makes sense to go this route.

MiamiE · 02-22-2010, 05:26 AM

Jump on it. I just paid $100 from CI!

BTW, my box was sitting on the porch when I got home today... I have it sitting out in the living room to admire it's beauty.

It is a thing of beauty isn't it?

The sticks wrapped in burlap inside look pretty sweet as well!

maninblack · 02-24-2010, 06:28 PM

Finally got mine today. love the packaging and can't wait to light one up!

captain53 · 02-24-2010, 07:04 PM

Picked up 10 on Joe's Jam in the middle last night while I could not sleep for $29.99 Free Shipping.

Probably should have bought 20 but I have never tried them so just testing.

mine should be arriving tomorrow, cant wait to try one of them

I had my first one a couple days ago, urged on by this thread.

The construction was impeccable--perfect draw, perfect burn, and the ash held for over 1/2 the stick (ashed only the once). The flavors were good, but the stick needs more rest for the flavors to coalesce and smooth out, imvho. I think that with some rest these could be VERY good cigars for the money. I'm glad I got a 10-er.

I dunno. I prefer the Diesel, but the Reposados are pretty damn tasty too. Plus you get 40 for the same price as 30 Diesels.

True, But There Is A Big Difference, IMO. Which Reposado do you prefer?

I've only tried the habano. I haven't had a chance to try the maddie yet, and I'm not a big connie fan, so I probably won't bother with those.
Decisions, decisions. The Diesels are great, but those Reposados would be great golf smokes. They last forever.

Hmm. A bad cutter is a bad cutter. At least it only cost $1. Might as well chunk it - no use risking harm done to a beautiful smoke
