Dam - I learned about cigarbid.com last week from reading some of the posts around here. They should just change their name to www.crack-for-cigar-smokers.com. Once I started winning I just lost it. I couldn't stop. I had to change the delivery destination to my office so my wife wouldn't find out. Oh well, if you see a cloud forming over New Hampshire, relax, its just me. :smiley37:

LOL- :smiley36: :smiley36: If you can't stop twitching after missing a day of bidding, you know you need help. I know that I did.
I was to the point where I got boxes about every other day-I was a fool and didn't have them sit and be sent out together reducing shipping. But when you are addicted, all sanity and rational thinking goes out the window.Quote:

lol . . . seriously though how bad could it really be? its not like they have padrons for 36 cents or something . . . do they?!!!!!!!??????????
Damn that's my story too . . . almost to the letter. I managed to stay awy for a whole 2 weeks then I slipped. It wasn't my fault though . . . really . . . someone left the link on my address bar AND made a special spot for it in my favorites folder. If I log on to the internet tomorrow and it has been defaulted to my homepage I will KNOW there is a conspiracy and a larger force at work here.Quote:

Was a five pack of AVO #3's that I got for 25 bucks, then a 10 pack of Gurkha Class Regent torpedo's for $31. Once I figured out that I conservatively saved about 70 bucks I lost control and started biding on cigars I have never even tried but wanted to just because the price seemed good. :smiley37:
I have been on cigar bid for about 3 months. There are some items that you can get great deals on, but those it seem are the unpopluar sticks. Cigar bid is alot of fun but there are web sites out there that you can get better deals on. I have spent a good amount of money on cigar bid. I admit I look at it daily, yep I got a monkey on my back!
and I've noticed that there is an awful lot of dreck stuff there. It reads like JR's five-pack listing.
Yeah, there is some good stuff, but really not much REALLY good stuff. Another marketing ploy?
And what's up with Gurkha Boers? Pretty double band color combo and they're camerooooooon wrapped. Interesting. But if you do a search for them on Google the only place that comes up for them is, you guessed it, Cigar Bid and Cigar International.
A Gurkha "house brand". Oh! How tacky!
They suckered me on those Gurkha Boers... And those damn CAO Palm perfecto coffins... Fuggers....Quote:

Ahhhh! The lovely light sage green and gold secondary Boer band contrasting against the blazing red/yellow and gold Gurkha Masters band looks impressive I must say. The Gurkha artwork is one of the most impressive I have seen. Excellent merchandising. They make for a nice persentation. BUT, I hate spending money on flash with no flavor.
How did you like them? A brief review perhaps?
