Today, Rich at Tobacco Republic told me something about CI and CBID. Now realize that it's in his interest to make me want to buy from him instead of CBid.

In any case he said that essentially ALL of the CBid Rocky Patels are 2nds. I mentioned that the only 1990 Vintage that I've had was blocked and almost impossible to smoke. He said that was an example of what to expect from the online stores, especially CBid.

Now, as I said, he may be blowing smoke up my a$$. I've smoke quite a few sticks from CBid that were just fine. I'll smoke another RP Vintage 1990 this week. If it's not blocked then I have a counter example to his proposal.

In any case, the real reason we call it the Devil Site is because it's so easy to spend big buck$ on cigars.
