    I just recently joined Cigar Bid too. I get the impression that CI puts stuff up on Cigar Bid that is slow moving in their inventory. Maybe?

    None-the-less, I find it a great site and I guess as long as your careful about the bidding you stand to get a good deal. However, TonyDogs is right. Shop around before you bid. I too have found the same stuff on CigarBid at other sites for a bit less $$$.

    I feel ya, brother. I'm hooked also. Although, I have some nice, cheddar-saving bids, and actually won a few! It IS fun to win.

    Be very careful about the numbers of cigars in a lot. It sometimes appears they're offering a box of cigars, and in reality it's a 5 pack or a single. I've seen some people go absolutely ape over a cigar like an Opus, and bid it up over $40.00. Definitely not worth it!!!

    It appears it's a mixed bag - some are cigars they want to get rid of, some appear to be overruns by manufacturers they're trying to get rid of, some appear to be popular smokes (PAM '64's, Opus', etc.) that bid well over MSRP.

    Know what the cigars cost (don't trust their MSRP quote - do research at other cigar selling sites), set a limit for yourself, and only bid when you feel the time is right. And if you set a limit - stick by the limit - don't be tempted to overspend because you gotta have a certain cigar - it'll come back up again...

    For those of you wanting some type of portable cigar carrying device - the otter boxes sometimes go pretty cheap - again, watch what they're priced at compared to what some are selling them for - and make sure you get at least a 15 cigar box - any less is kinda useless...

    I got addicted to Cigarauctioneer for a while. I had a box coming every week for about 2 months. It does get old after a while though plus the deals there aren't what they were a few months ago. Becareful bidding as you can find yourself getting caught up in the sport of bidding and end up paying more than retail. Make sure you research what your bidding on at other sites 1st. Often I find stuff cheaper at other retailers online than on the auctions.
