First time on CigarBid.com, I won all eight of the items I bid on -- and
only two of them went all the way to my auto-bid limit, which was set
below the prices at my usual online dealers.

Only real disappointment was paying $20 for a five-pack of Arturo Fuente
Rothschilds; I was hoping to get them for $16. But that's offset by a big
woo-hoo: I scored a 15-stick Otterbox for $22.

Please don't tell me I paid too much; I want to enjoy my "bargains" for at
least a little while.

Some of the items went three hours or more between the last bid (mine)
and the end of the auction. Do you suppose most of the usual bidders were
busy watching football and I just got lucky? Or do most bidders bail out
early?

Do your homework for cbid!!! Be prepared to loose your auctions, only bid up
to retail price, and steer clear of the stuff that is "too good to be true."
Chances are they're dog rocket clearance smokes that aren't worth the
packing foam they're shipped in!

One last line to piss Stogie off some more.

Hey BB,

There is one cigar that Hutch turned me onto and that C-bid is the only
place I can afford them.

They mail-order at $110 for a box of 25 and I can c-bid them for around $50.
Five packs usually go for @ $10 each and if I'm lucky, I can get five
auctions at the same time and have them shipped for $5. Well under the
retail or even mail-order price.

I love c-bid, although I've tried a few five packs that looked great on
paper, and well, you know.

So YOU'RE the one bidding it up...lol...I was in a dry spell until I won 2
boxes of Encantos at $10 apiece...supposedly the first Honduran cigar
brand...hoping these were "lost in the warehouse" for all that time.

Despite waching auctions (and reading the forum, which wasn't much help)
for a few days before I jumped in, I probably did pay more than I should
have for some of the lots I won. OTOH, everything (except the Fuente
five-pack) went for substantially less than I would have paid at my usual
sources, so I'm satisfied.

Now, if only CigarBid would hurry up and ship everything, I could top off
my coolerdor and use the Otterbox to hold any overflow. That ought to
hold me for a week or two, until I run across something I absolutely have
to try ... I suppose I'd might as well start making space for a second
cooler now, and avoid the rush.<g>

What you need is another cigar bomb to push you over the edge into that
second cooler.... Bwahahahahaha!!

Encantos are the only "puro finos" left on the market. That's a puro
made from one plantation as opposed to tobacco from various locations in
a given country. Used to be a daily smoke for me about 10 years ago.

Or you could give in to the inevitable and convert your
garage into a smoking room, complete with 25-cubic-feet
fridge-a-dor....

Did anyone notice that Cigarbid was offline Dec 25th? Or was it just my ISP?
There were a couple of auctions I won that I could not believe how low the
final bid was.

Thanks,
