Yes, CigarBid is part of/owned by/same company as CigarsInternational.

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.

CI loves idiots!

No, I'm sure he knows it's for a "single" just as the ad says. The assholes who buy Anejos on CigarBid are known for paying three to four times MSRP so this is nothing new.

BTW, MSRP for an Anejo 48 is $8.00 a stick. Every box I've bought I've paid $200.00 for. Anejos 48 are great $8.00 cigars but they are NOT worth much more than that.
