Dude, fell for the Gurhka hype as well. Got 35 stick of various ones. 25 of them are not great (not the worst thing Ive smoked). Ever since I have been on here I have learned a lot about good and great.

You're not alone!

My latest CIGARBID winnings/purchases

***A. Fernandez Overruns Toro~ bundle of 25
only had one of the 25 but nothing awesome, it was a gamble as I like so much of AJF's stuff

****San Miguel Toro/San Miguel Belicoso~5packs love these the robusto's seem to be the best out of all the sizes I've had.

****Torano Exodus '50 Years' Torpedo Single, sitting in my humi

****La Herencia Cub. Osc. Fuerte Toro, 2 singles, bought a box of these a year ago and was great these 2 singles, are just ok to good not great.

****Sol Cubano Cuban Cab. 'A' [bx/3] Love the SCCC's

****Padilla Black Bear- 5 Pack another gamble, looked great but are more mild than I'd thought.

****Cabaiguan Petite Cabaiguan - 5 pack had a coulple great Cabaiguan

****Obsidian Mini Corona - 5 Pack like these alot in the robusto/toro size so took a shot on these.

****Felipe II Fat-Boy Extra~ this was the cheapest 5 pack out of all of them and was probably the best. go figure.

Haha glad to hear it. Just wish I had spent a little bit more time on the forums before I ran off to the devil site. Oh well, you live and you learn. Now I take advice from the veterans before I pick up anything

Tredegar · 01-20-2012, 01:41 PM

I have almost given up on CBid. They just are not putting up the cigars I like at all.

I got a 5er of the Black Bears too, haven't tried one yet, didn't know they were mild.....oh well.

Curious about the Fat boys.

Free fall isn't falling for me, I gotta refresh the page to get a new price.

It definitely makes watching some of this stuff kind of a pain.

jluck · 01-21-2012, 11:18 PM

I got another 5 pack for a buck! WOO HOO. more troop sticks! Lots of other goodies too! I told the wife that some of my winnings are going to service men/women and she gave my total Clarence! she actually said "start buying more"

.....dangerous words there!

......

Pics to follow....(thursday's)

Guys I just want to throw this out there. I know a few are new to C Bid and I was guilty of this also when I first started out.....do your home work. I went on last night and was interested in a few things until I saw the bids were within a couple of bucks (literally ) of CIs regular price. With free shipping they would be cheaper off the regular site. Now drunk bidding is a whole different story

Yep, Thats how they make money. It happens alot! there was a sampler pack I wanted real bad so I max bid it about five dollars under the normal site price and it ended up selling for 6 dollars over!

I started checking the Cigars International price as soon as I realized that Cigarbid was run by CI. =P

I see that on quite a few auctions. I always check prices before I bid

ApexAZ · 01-22-2012, 02:31 PM

I've done this a few times, but nothing more than like a buck over what they cost. Lesson learned!

mkarnold1 · 01-22-2012, 03:06 PM

Just got 5er of Graycliff Avelino Lara 80th Piratas for $20, they go for $75 on CI. Also have 5ers of Gran Habano Vintage 2002 Robustos ($9) and Fonseca Arana Toros ($4). Two of my favorite smokes cheap. Love that place, of course my wife is going to kill me. I have some cutters and other stuff this week too...

JenksAnejo · 01-22-2012, 03:39 PM

Snagged 2 (10) packs of Montecristo white #2s for $45 & $42.50. Not much of a mild cigar smoker but couldn't pass on that deal. They were on the free fall auction for a while!

joeobx · 01-22-2012, 03:40 PM

Nice pick-up Mark

I try to put in my max bid by my 3rd or 4th beer now and the don't look until morning

loved the FG Fatboys and at $7 for a 5ver go for it. Black bears weren't bad just not all that great either. Both me and my buddy said the same about them. YMMV of course.

Hem · 01-24-2012, 09:22 PM

Got my first shipment ever in from Cbid today to begin my hobby

. Wife was less than pleased when UPS made the drop off as she was reminded of the money spent lol. This is the beginning of the end I believe
