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?
Ya I just bought some of my first Ghurkas and for the price $10-12 they seemed not worth it at all. :smiley21: :smiley21:
Sorry Bro...I han't dared Cigarbid yet. Hoping there will be some nice Cigar shops in San Antonio when I move there. :smiley14:
placed another damned bid on Cigar Bid.
Well...it's only my third in two weeks. For some Gurkhas at a reasonable price, hopefully.
Sigh.........I still think the majority of what they have is crap though. :smiley4:
One man's crap is another man's treasure :smiley20: :smiley37:Quote:

It just seems that they have a lot of the slower moving stuff on CBid. Like Patel Sun Grown Petite Coronas or Fuente Curlyheads or certain Perdomos, etc.
But they do have SOME nice stuff. I mean hey, I buy there too! :smiley36:
I curse y'all for tipping me to cigarbid.com. I find myself drawn to the site 3+ times a day and have won 15+ bids since friday. Argggg...credit card smoking from use...still there is lots of room left since I sent enough to cover my cigarbid bill just today. LORD help me not to exploit the credit limit on this card. I have been good and not put anything on it that I cannot payoff the next week. I think I am an addict to cigarbid, I have more stogies than my local smoke shop, yet I still find my way to the devil's website. I must confess that I like it more than I should. I even chipped an extra 5% in the collection plate this morning, looking for strength to stop. I fear cigarbid has my soul by the ass, I do promise to stop if I cannot pay the bill within 10 days though...I ain't stupid, just hooked.
Rick :smiley35:
Has anybody tried these? They sound nice. Sungrown filler!
I ordered a five pack from MD Cigars.
BECAUSE :smiley35: CIGAR BID DOESN'T HAVE FIVE PACKS AVAILABLE!!!!! JEEEEEZZZ! WHAT GIVES??
Never have but please let me know. I have been interested in trying one.Quote:

My Gurkha Boers came the other day!
I'm saving them for my trip to FLA iin a little over a week. I'll compare notes with you when I get back!
cigarbid would be evil for me...
But they don't ship outside the USA ! Talk about lucky in a way....
Yeah Cbid is the drug for all the cigar lovers. I just started cbid a week ago and I have won 16 auctions in a week. It's total 110 cigars and about $ 450 worth. Although I spent a lot of money on Cbid last week, I'm very satisfied with that because those 110 cigars would be worth about $800 if I bought them from other online retailers. CBID ROCKS! :smiley20:Quote:

Some times c-bid seems like god gift to this cigarhead. Other times it's the devil. :smiley15:
:smiley37:
Just got another box in from CBid today and the old receptionist drops it on my desk and says "Your spending way too much money on these things young man." Keep in mind she smokes two packs a day...
And yes I DO get them delivered to the office because Im scarred of my wife. :smiley3:
