See....this guy knows....have you seen his hauls? Thanks for the info

You need to set up weekly shipping to get the combined shipping savings.

Alright, I opted for that right at the beginning. Thanks guys!

Hahahaha, I know...I've only bid on singles so far, as I don't have any proper storage. I really hope I can control the urges....

I spent a lot of time on CBID back in '06 and '07--and still have a bunch of cigars around from those days.

One thing to keep in mind is that your tastes will change over time--so the smoke you love today may do nothing for you in a couple of years.

The other thing is that there really are diamonds in the rough with aging--the problem is that you will not know which of your purchases will fit that description when you buy them.

In short, it is a crap shoot. Enjoy it!

P.S. I am still married--praise be to the cigar gods.

AWESOME Haul Macon! What did all that run ya with shipping?

[CigarSquid]

Those bahia trins, I like those ones. Real good smoke for the $$. I tried the Bahia Blu, Didn't care for them as much as those right there.

I think I may pick up a few more for an everyday smoke.

[jluck]

Those JDN are a great smoke! good haul man! I am in the process of weening myself off cbid....well maybe not completely off...just 20 a week or maybe....40 or maybe just....80......Yup I'm a addict too......

$176.00 Mickey.. Shipping and all!

Garry... That was the only one I have smoked so far and was quite impressed. Like you said for the money it's not a bad smoke even if you only smoked 1/4 of it and threw it away.

Jared... I am looking forward to the JDN.... I may have to torch one up tonight!

So, I don't know why this is making me think so hard, hahaha. I ordered a lighter, a cutter, a hygro and a few cigars from the "devil-site". Now, the highest shipping price is 4.95. Is that what I'm going to pay, in total, for shipping? Or does each item jack up the shipping?

Well if you go into your account settings and select to have your shipping done weekly instead of each item seperatley it will save you a ton of money. Even if you don't plan on buying anything else. (Hard to do) Each item will have seperate shipping charge added to it if you don't select weekly shipping. Besides.. if you are like the rest of us you will have a revolving account on cbid and be buying things all the time and saving a ton of money compared to retail prices if you do your homework. They ship fill your order on Thursdays and Ship out every Friday whe you select this option fyi...

Happy Bidding!

The items in the merchandise section add $1 each after the first, full price shipping item. If you bought single cigars they ship for $0.25 (a quarter) each with combined shipping. I think 5ers are $0.50. So, $4.95 for highest shipping item plus $2 for additional merchandise and $.25 per cigar. If you got 4 smokes for $1 shipping the total would be $7.95. Hope this helps.
