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

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.

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

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

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

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!

ApexAZ · 01-22-2012, 01:31 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, 02:06 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...

joeobx · 01-22-2012, 02:40 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

colinb913 · 01-24-2012, 09:12 PM

Not the beginning of the end.. Unless it is a very very long ending!

01-24-2012, 10:18 PM

I'm fixing to make my first mistake... Er... Purchase in the next couple of days.

5er of Victor Sinclair Primero Robustos for under 10 bucks, and that's if I buy it outright using QB and not bothering to bid.

CI's description of said sticks makes them very relevant to my interests.

Don't do it! The VS's always always always disappoint. Heck, I'll GIVE you all of my leftover VS purchases for the cost of shipping. Lord knows I'll never smoke them.

I'm hurting enough for humidor stock to where I'd take a piece of that action.

Pm me an address. 5 bucks and I'll fill a small flat rate. Roughly 10. 10 bucks for a med flat rate...say 30 cigars.

Oh....ummmmm...I kinda got carried away. The good news is that I already got rid of all my Victor Sinclair crap. So, I just kinda sent some other stuff. You should probably be ok on stock for a bit.

Heads up!

I've got to concur. The best part of these, much like the Gurkhas, is the label.
