But, I don't want to pay for something that isn't good, or over pay for something.

So, currently I have no issues with the devil site, because I am to afraid to bid on anything for fear of getting jipped. You all might save me money by not responding.

Since Cbid is owned by Cigars International/Cigar.com, it's always a good idea to check there for their everyday price before you bid.

I've often seen bids go for much higher than what they could've purchased it for outright over at either of those two sites.

One of the best pieces of advice I got on here regarding Cigar Bid is... Don't get caught up in a bidding war, what you want will almost always come around again in a few days... So far that has rung so true for me.

Best advice ever, some of these people drop money on it without first doing their homework. Why pay retail price + shipping (or worse, even more) when you could do the same thing at a retailer?? Better yet, I think some sites offer free shipping depending on dollar amount....the item will eventually come around again so definitely don't get caught up in a bidding war! Like the OpusX...dunno why people pay $20+ on a single stick when you can get them for less than that with shipping

Anyone else having problems with five pack damage? They recently went to packing five packs firmly on greenish cardboard and I have had numerous cigars with bent and broken caps and feet. Anyone else? I emailed them and they said they would make note of it with no offer of replacement.

Yes... I think they put out some five packs when people return boxes and by the time the cigars have made the trip back and forth 2 times, they're running on empty with moisture. I've had broken caps on my Undercrowns, My Fathers, and Alec Bradley Family Blends... They are always quick to replace anything unsatisfactory so I'm still comfortable buying merchandise, but no cigars.
