CBID is killing this newbie..HELP!

[mike32312]

I just got off CBID. Force myself. Think I've found MECCA, Garden of EDen, The Promise Land. This is what I bought today. Anyone try these and your input?

Box of each:

Oro Cubano Aniversario Toro
Cremosa Cubana Churchill
Dogue Churchill
Don Elias Toro
Cuba Aliados Cazado Maduro
Perdomo Cantero Maduro Torpedo
Sacuba Toro

Value your input.
May your ashes be long and your humidor full.

[sirxlaughs]

Am I reading Cremosa on your list??
I only used cbid a few times, and then I found websites with such great deals on cigars I liked that cbid just wasn't worth it.

I hear from a lot of people on the board that those are some good smokes
Check out the ratings on top25cigars.com lots of good info there.

[mike32312]

Great will do thanks for the info.

Hmm... sounds good.. I'd be willing to bet money that if you bombed SeanGAR or Pnoon or Nooner with some of those Cremosa Cubanas, they'd hit you back with some pretty good sticks. I'm pretty sure Sean has tried em, but I don't think nooner or pnoon ever got to try em. They're being deprived. I've only got one in my humi, so I can't bomb all 3 of em. Bet they hit ya back with some nice stuff! Maybe a tamboril, or a pinar, ever tried either of those?

Mike, be careful my man!

You've been a c-bid madman lately.

[theromulus]

King Cat is right. That place can drain you. Be sure to check cigarsinternational for the retail prices and check out the reviews before you bid. There are some bargains on there but there are some real stinkers.

Do yourself a favor and shred the credit card right now. I can't seem to stay away from the site myself. Since I've found it, I've had one or more bids in at any given moment.

Now you've done it.
Be afraid, little Loompa, be VERY afraid!

When faced with a buffet, go for a smaller portion of prime rib verses a plate full of hamburger helper.

I'm not trying to be a smartash here, just trying to help. Someday you'll have coolerdors full of cigars that you don't want to smoke (like me). I have been on a cigar buying freeze here lately & have been astounded at how many dog rockets I have.

As i sit here, eating leftover hamburger helper, i cant help but wonder what you are trying to say.

As far as Cbid is concerned, buy fivers instead of boxes of stuff you have not tried, make sure to check the prices on CI, and shop around on stuff you do buy boxes of, people can and WILL overpay for stuff on cbid.

Ive never had the pleasure of smokin a Cremosa, make sure you post a review and let us know what you thought.

Im havin some kind of funky Italian shells and cheese or something, pretty tasty. My Fav. has always been the Beef stroganoff (butchered that word).

My rule of thumb on Cbid: don't bid any more than 50% of what you can buy them for any day of the week from any retailer. I seem to lose a lot of smokes this way, but heck, what's the point of an auction format if we can't get a deal?
