I took the plunge. Out of the blue I went to cigarbid.com and was browsing around. Came across some Augusto Reyes Nativo Robusto and bought a box. Don't know why, really. I guess they looked good and like some of the reviews they got. Here's hoping I don't end up with some dog rockets.
Someone please reassure me that I didn't buy crap.
I haven't had them yet, but I like the bold move. Typically, I buy a few sticks of something I want to try and then if I like them I might buy a box.
I hope it works out and you enjoy them!
I'll do that a lot myself... especially if the price is right.
I think to myself...how bad can they be?
Yeah, me too. That's what I've been doing lately but I feel like I'm pussy-footing around so I just did it. I guess I'm too impatient to buy a stick, wait for it to arrive, smoke it, then if I like it find a deal on a box and then wait for them to arrive.Quote:

It would be nice if there was a place that you can get dependable reviews of cigars. But then again the subjectivity of likes and dislikes always comes into play. If nothing else you can use the cigars for those who want to mooch em off you. Roger.:smiley41: :smiley4:
[QUOTE=denver24;133559]Can't say that I would want to do that, but then again I'm not saying I never would. :smiley4:Quote:

What a great day. I had 3 purchases from cigarbid.com show up as well as my newbie sampler! I went from having 5 cigars to my name to over 40!
The Augusto Reyes' were among the packages. They look delicious. I'll try taking a picture and posting it in a bit. I'm not sure how good these things are or if they are that popular, but I was thinking of maybe having a contest to give some away to give others a chance to try them (since I got a great deal on them). Let me know if that sounds like a good idea.

And no, I'm not going to make a post and upload pictures for every box I purchase. This was just a special occasion because it's my first box purchase.
We love pictures here, really.Quote:

Links to videos are widely enjoyed here as well, as long as you don't put any annoying text in the post. :smiley2:Quote:

I'm definitely thinking about doing a contest to give some of these away.
