anyone know the business model of cigarbid.com
My buddy just called and b*tched me out. He is now ordering cigars like crazy off of cigarbid.com. What is the business model of this compnay? Do they buy cigars off of stores or wholesalers and or do the stores and wholesalers put the lots on there? Are they being shipped out of a centralized location? Whatever the case it is a good concept.
If I remember correctily, somebody around here pointed out that cbid is owned by cigarsinternational.com. So, you might want to check that site (as well as a few others) before placing your bid...I'm sure that every once in a while people are "winning" cigars from cbid that they could be buying from its parent site for less.

Yes, CigarBid is part of/owned by/same company as CigarsInternational.Originally Posted by heftysmokes
Hefty is 100% correct, lots of dopes pay MORE for their cigars when they "win"them on a CigarBid auction for MORE than full retail on the CI site.

Thanks CC, I wasn't for sure and I'm glad I wasn't throwing bad information out there.
