I agree!

I don't recommend cbid because the more who bid, the higher the price I'll pay!

I have 35 more sticks arriving Tuesday. 1 box 25 Arturo Fuente Hemingway best seller, 5'er of 5 Vegas Relic and an Oliva 5 pack sampler.

Seems like I keep winning a single 5-pack over the weekend, and I spend the M-W looking for other 5-packs, singles, or accessories to boost the order and offset shipping charges. Unfortunately, by that time, there aren't any accessories ending on or before Wednesday night so I'm left scrounging for singles. If I win a 5-pack for $5-$10, I basically try to pad the order up to $20ish so I don't feel like I've paid such a high percentage of my order on shipping.

Yea they defiantly have it down to a science and rape on the shipping (which takes a week to reach me when flat rate USPS takes two days) but if you buy smart there is still a bunch of money to be saved.

These guys have great customer service. I recently had to dispose of a Hemingway Best Seller due to a slice caused by the band and a Tat Miami that was crushed by my Stinky Jr. The Cbid team is refunding me for those purchases. Great cs goes a long way to keep me happy!!!

I peeked my head into the Devil Site. As the Rush song says, "I can learn to resist anything but temptation...." Just a few singles and a Xikar ash can. Probably won't win. It's enough to justify shipping.

That's how it starts...

Place bids thinking that you'll never win since it's so cheap

Go back, realize you've won most if not all of your lots

Rinse and Repeat

You're doomed

LOL. I know. I won the three sticks I bid on, the ash can bidding ends tonight, I think.

CigarSquid · 04-18-2012, 07:36 AM

Fun. I have a 5er I just won yesterday and trying tying to snag a few shirts for 4 bucks.

Well, I have one question. What website(s) / places do you look to compare prices and make sure you are actually bidding at a price that is good. I am still getting a feel for my taste and want to try various samplers, and this devil site may be the place for me to do that. 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.
