Cigarbid.com is my drug

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.

Friends don't let newbies hear about cbid.

This message brought to you by.......

They should just change their name to www.crack-for-cigar-smokers.com.

LOL-

If you can't stop twitching after missing a day of bidding, you know you need help. I know that I did.

Once I started winning I just lost it. I couldn't stop.

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.

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.

Well, we have some members in that area, I'm sure you can find a couch if need be. We're here for you.

i think that's the reason why i haven't started bidding there yet. that and i don't have a humi right now to hold all the wonderful goodies.

perhaps i'll start next week.

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.

I do have a nice selection of medium range smokes that I got for next to nothing though. However, all those "next-to-nothings" have added up to single digits in my check book

. . . hey I wonder how my bids are going right now . . . be right back.

TheyCallMeManiX · 07-13-2005, 01:35 PM

lol . . . seriously though how bad could it really be? its not like they have padrons for 36 cents or something . . . do they?!!!!!!!??????????

**jdavis4082** · 07-13-2005, 01:44 PM

i havent bought anything from them yet. where i am at right now i would probably lose my house

**nhcigarfan** · 07-13-2005, 02:35 PM

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.

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!

**MMAB** · 07-15-2005, 10:06 PM

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!

Me? Now, I would never play Devil's advocate.

I will be one of the first to admit that Gurkha is overpriced but some of their cigars do taste good and my best buddy really likes them. So when I go to visit them in FLA I like to bring a few with me. Especially since he is having trouble finding them in the Tampa area for some reason.

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?
