    I've never had any problems with quality, maybe slightly OVER humidified, but that's normal for most retailers.
    So it's sort of like a Walmart type of deal just even bigger savings! haha Thanks for the response.

    No - While CI (and a few others) are the Walmarts of the cigar world, Cbid is more like the eBay.

    Yeah, I only buy what I know or can get an impartial review on. Like any retailer, they give everything they sell a thumbs up. I remember buying a fiver of El Meijor cigars because they looked so good. Complete crap. They looked good because they had dyed wrappers that turned my lips brown.


    At the same time, if you like Carlos Torano, Rocky Patel, Indian Tabac, Gurkha, etc. They're as good from CI as anywhere else. I notice I've been doing more buying from Famous Smokes lately.

    From my experience, CBid has had some true winners. But - you must pick and choose very carefully to avoid the other "winners" (i.e. el Meijor).

    They don't sell new/unused stuff on eBay? Hmmm... That's strange... I could have sworn they did.

    The name's Nicholas Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Nicholas, and I'll kill you. And I don't like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. Also, I don't like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you.
