    I like it, but you have to know what the cigars are worth before you dance with the devil. Check out Cigarcyclopedia's comparison shopper list. It shows currents prices for some of the big internet retailers and should give you a good idea of what you should or should not pay for the cigars.

    Today, Rich at Tobacco Republic told me something about CI and CBID. Now realize that it's in his interest to make me want to buy from him instead of CBid.

    In any case he said that essentially ALL of the CBid Rocky Patels are 2nds. I mentioned that the only 1990 Vintage that I've had was blocked and almost impossible to smoke. He said that was an example of what to expect from the online stores, especially CBid.

    Now, as I said, he may be blowing smoke up my a$$. I've smoke quite a few sticks from CBid that were just fine. I'll smoke another RP Vintage 1990 this week. If it's not blocked then I have a counter example to his proposal.

    In any case, the real reason we call it the Devil Site is because it's so easy to spend big buck$ on cigars.

    I never said that. Just because we pointed out that some of their "customers" are idiots, doesn't mean we don't "like it."

    I haven't bought anything from CigarBid in years because they don't sell anything I want to buy like Opus X, Padron 1926 and Anejos. Oh excuse me, they DO offers Anejos but why should I pay $30.00 each for 48s when I can get them for $8.00?

    If I want Toranos, I buy them from Hex. For the rare times I buy other domestics, I buy them from a retailer who offers me boxes of Anejos for MSRP. Sure I pay a couple of dollars more per box that I could from CigarBid but guess what, these retailers will call me when they get their boxes of Anejos in.

    So, I have no use for CigarBid. If others do, fanfreakintastic!
