If you are still looking for some of those samplers, check out some of these sites: I have bought from MDcigars before and the service was great (I actually picked up a couple of padron samplers a couple of months ago, after shipping, they were basically going to be the same price as thompsons). If you join cigar weekly, they give all members a 10% discount (http://forums.cigarweekly.com/viewtopic.php?t=121185).

This place is pretty cheap, however, I have never dealt with them except through email (I only wish they had anejos in stock - trust me, I already asked).

The premium maduro sampler is a pretty good price (IMO) and you get a couple of 1926 and a couple of 1964 (plus free shipping). They also advertise here on CS.

Just in case you needed a little more temptation.

Well then you certainly wouldn't need that link. But if you did, or anyone who does like them - it's an excellent buy. I also am not buying 40 sticks for myself. I will keep the box - but the other 20 sticks will end up being traded and gifted to friends in addition to being sent out in bombs etc. Once you get into trades and such - you always need stock -

Really this C-Bid bashing is kind of dumb. There are excellent deals to be had on *non-closeout* sticks and just because you find a handful of characters bidding outrageous amounts doesn't make that typical of the entire system.

I don't really think it's a C-Bid bashing party - it's an idiot user bashing -

Yeah, 11.00/stick may be a good price in Canada. Im not sure how much the Short Story's are up North. but from what I have seen they are at least double the US price? I can get Short Storys nearby for 7.00 ea in single quantities.
