Boy you must have saved a lot

[omowasu]

That is quite a cigarbid haul! Overall, cbid is a very good site that can save money over traditional purchase methods. I really like their 5-packs - it allows one to sample a cigar quite thoroughly and determine if a box purchase is appropriate.

But, cigarbid can suck the money right out of your wallet. Bidding can get aggressive on the most desired stogies. And there is always the risk of your tastes changing at some point. Their merchandise that is not name brand can be somewhat cheaply made as well. That said, I have spent some $$$ there, and I intend to continue the trend on an "as-needed" basis..

Hehe and the devil claims another one

i normally only smoke "premiums" so its perfect for me. i just won some gurka double x centurian for $25.00. cigar intl had them for $80 or something like that.... cant be beat.

but you have to know what your shopping for. ive looked at somethings and they are basically up to the price of what C.I. charges, so its not worth it.....

[Alpedhuez55]

You can get great buys on Gurkhas and Rocky Patels. You can get Puros Indios & Cuba Alliados for next to nothing. Brands like Fuente & CAO tend to go pretty close to retail since people in high tax states tend to snap them up.

Check the Cigars International site or catalog before you bid. Sometimes people bid and end up paying more than they would if the bought it in a catalog. In general, I like to get things for about half of what I would pay at a local B&M.

And don't be afraid to wait a few days if you think you can do better. THey are not going to run out of most of the cigars on the site. Rather than getting caught in a last minute bidding war on a lot, wait a few days and that lot of cigars will most likely be up again.

Also check out the Sampler page. I think that is where you can get the best deals.

yeah, i normally will set my auto bid to what is the most i am willing to pay for a particular item.

for example i just lost out on an xikar 3 finger leather case. i had it for $22. but someone bid up to $25. which means my next bid would be to high (i would save like $5.00 if i ended up winning) not worth it. im sure their will be plenty more.....
