CBid is run by Cigars International so you'll get the same cigars and packaging that you would get if you bought off their main website.

The only problem I've had with them is when something I won was on backorder for like 2 weeks. They gave me a choice of waiting it out or sending me a comparable cigar so it worked out in the end.

As for your last question, CBid doesn't draw from the bottom of the barrel. As I said before, you'll get the same cigars as if you ordered from CI, even the boxes and baggies say Cigars International.

Sometimes you'll find a great deal on there. Boxes from CBid are the best deal. Never buy singles on CBid.
