I was wondering if anyone buys cigars from Cigarbid.com. I just got a five pack and they were very dried out. Anyone else have this problem? I'm hoping to hear from those who perhaps get cigars from there often.

Most of the cigars I buy are purchased from there. I never had any noticeably dried out cigars from there, but I never smoke them right after shipment. They always sit for a while before I think about burning them.

Usually the cigars I get from C-Bid (and CI for that matter) are pretty wet.

If they are not good give C-Bid a call, the customer service is very good.

Never heard of them....:rolleyes:











But if I had, I would say I have never had any real issues with their sticks. But then again, I ususally just check for damage and then in the coolerdor they go for awhile. I mean, that is, if I had heard of them, and ordered from them.;)

I haven't ordered from them in a while, but I have ordered from them a lot in the past. I never got dried out cigars, they were always to wet if anything. I agree with the others, give them a call if you are not satisfied.

I have never received anything dried out from C-BID, always a little wet I would say. Man, I miss those C-Bid deals, just not as good as they used to be. Of course it does not hurt that my taste has moved to harder to find NC's and now CC's.

I order pretty much exclusively from CBid, unless they don't carry what I am after.

They are never dried out (for me). If you have any issues, they have great customer support.

i recieved 2 5'ers of Gurkha fuerte Torps that has 2 damaged in 1 5'er and 1 damaged in the other 5'er.... i called them and they replaced them with one brand new 5 pack no questions asked.

they told me to keep all the ones they already sent me as well... very good customer service.

that is odd as the others mentioned, I find nearly every shipment from CI to be damn near sopping wet, which makes trying them ROTT hard to do.

I purchase from them far too often! I blame AMEX for continuing to bump up my limit! :mad:

Never had any issues with the cigars I've purchased from them (I agree with the others about them being wet), but did have an issue with some merchandise not having everything included, but their customer support fixed the problem and threw in a bonus cutter and lighter.

I've never received any dried sticks from them. I have gotten a few damaged sticks, but a quick phone call and they credited my account. So if you aren't happy, give them a ring:tu

I get most of my bread and butter and daily work stuff from them. I also bought about 300 cigars last Nov-Dec as Christmas gifts, all were assorted 5 packs. Like the others, most were on the wet side and out of the 300+ cigars bought during that period about 8 came in damaged. A few phone calls and all were replaced, happily by the way.

I live in overnight shipping territory. No complaints.
But I store my smokes at 70%, anyway.
The new MotherShip is nice to visit, too.

Never had any issues with C Bid.. I got another 20 pack sampler of La Herencia Cubanas from them recently, and they smoked great right out of the package.

Never had a problem with CI or C-bid. I did have a problem with USPS and getting my order to me and their customer service dept. was super with resolving the problem quickly. :tu

Nothing but top notch experiences with c bid for me. And their customer service is jaw-dropping good.

Well, I just got off the phone with CigarBid. What great service!!! They are sending me a UPS label so I can send back the bad ones and are replacing them. That makes me a happy boy. I knew I could count on my CA family to help me out.

I have noticed some of the stuff I have purchased from them has been a little on the dry side. It has never been a problem because I usually give them a couple weeks in the humi before smoking. By then, they are just fine.

Yep, sometimes if I come across one from a store or something I just put in the humi for a while but these ones were VERY dry. I didn't want to chance that they would be ruined.

I get the majority of my smokes from Cbid and so far no problems.....I always let them rest for about a month or more in the Humi before I give them a try.:D

I get a shipment about every week. Never had a problem and I've always been happy with the sticks I get. However I let them rest a couple of weeks before I smoke them.

Thanks. I always let sticks rest for a little bit. Occasionally I'll get impatient though.

I have never had a problem with them other than the issue of them making me want to buy too many cigars :)

It's basically Ebay for cigars. You set up an account, add a credit card, and start bidding. It's owned by CI.

It's an auction site. You can get good deals, sometimes great deals. But you can also pay too much if you haven't done your homework. Don't rely on the "MSRP" that they offer for each lot -- check CI, Famous, and other major retailers to find the real price. The price comparison at www.cigarcyclopedia.com is very helpful.

I then use the autobid feature to set my bid to some price that's discounted from the best price I can find online (whether at CI or someplace else). I often do some research on www.c-h-i-m-p.com to figure out what discount to use. If I win, great. If not, I don't worry -- these aren't unique lots and odds are good that the cigars will be there again tomorrow or next week.

Bottom line: if you do your homework, bid smart, and don't caught up in the competitive drive to win at all costs, it can be a good way to get cigars for prices well below retail. But be warned that it's addictive and easy to spend way too much money, which is why around here it's often called "the devil site."

Good luck.
