My first post and My first Cbid purchase

[gator_79]

First off, I am fairly new to cigar smoking only been at it a few months. I enjoy a mild to medium stick, after smoking a few different ones I think I prefer a maduro but I am open to try anything, 5 vegas A being my go to right now. A couple of weeks ago I decided to give the devil site a try. As I am currently deployed to Japan I made sure they shipped to FPO addresses, they do. So I started bidding I picked up some 5 packs to try. Two weeks later this is what arrived, I think I got some good buys:

5 pk- 5 Vegas A Archtype
5 pk- perdomo lot 23 maduro Belicoso(torpedo) Trying this one tonight.
5 pk- graycliff G2
5 pk- CI Legends Drew Estate, for when I get a sweet tooth
Gurkha Hansotia Signature Sampler- 15 cigars
-5 signature 101 muduro, 5 gold, 5 symphony all churchill size

Thanks for a great site I'm looking forward to learning a thing or two.

Looks good to me, might want to add the Oliva G maduro to your list of cigars to try.

Oh... it's not that late here, I'm currently deployed to Okinawa, Japan. It's 2:54 PM here.

I've never had much luck at Cbid... some crazy people seem to be there to take my opportunities before I can get them.

nice haul....throw in some CAO Golds to try as well.

That's a nice first shipment! Careful though, because the auctions can get addictive..

Also remember to let the cigars stabilize in your humidor after shipment. Wouldn't want to waste any of those beauties because they're too dry. It's the big downside to buying online, shipping can be hard on cigars.

And thank you for your service to our country!

Thanks for the welcome, I must admit I find myself looking at cbid at least once a week. I only have a small Humi over here with me but I will be buying a new 150 count (I like the Napoleon II) and stocking it when I return to Jacksonville sometime in Dec.

Congrats, and welcome to the slippery slope. It's all downhill from here!
