Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?

[csbrewfisher]

Sites are down (except for Cigar Monster), and they are trying to get back online but don't have a ETA. My guess is that they share the same hosting provider, and that's probably where the issue is. If you know better, please share.

But I will admit, I feel a little like a lost puppy. I like looking at my cigar sites a few times a day. How about you?

[Mugen910]

nope :D

[Dunkel]

Yeah me too. I have had an order in through CIfor a couple days now. I hope they throw a little somethin' somethin' in for the inconvenience. LOL :fu

[SchizoFilly]

I still check it in the hopes they'll be up this time.

[dunng]

Someone is soooooo getting fired! :D

[sboyajian]

damn.. makes me wish I had gotten on CBid with some really good early cheap bids before the site went down. :)

[Thrak]

They had big problems yesterday too... it came back up in the evening long enough for me to get the Partagas Black deal on joe.

They had Perdomo Golf 7" torpedos on JoeCigar at 6am this morning, it was not a jam.

Yeah, I have a feeling that some bodies are gonna get some real good deals on some stuff if they don't get it back up soon.

[kenstogie]

That would explain why joecigar was down.

C-Bid must be on a different server since I have been able to get on there but not the others.

No great deals I have seen the last few days :(

[taltos]

Both CI and Famous seem to be up now but they are running slow.

[Thrak]

I expect we'll see one hell of a jam tomorrow on joecigar. :D

[Tuxguy]

Have been on Cbid all night taking advantage of the great deals

[mrgto]

I ended up with 5ers of RP Vintage 92 toros, RP Sungrown Torps, and Sancho Panza "extra fuerte" madrid's shipped for 40 bucks! I am happy w the temporary problems!

[Skywalker]

When the sites are down I save a lot of money!!!:tu

[Caymus]

Sheesh....the Hilton hotel website was down today too, for all their hotels: Hilton, Hampton Inn, etc. Coincidence ? Or more cyber-attacks ??

[taltos]

Something was going on. The Sears site would load but would not display any information. Sounds like a cyber attack on commercial sites.

[darkninja67]

Too bad they are down. Cigarplace.biz is a great back up and usually kicks the poopout of CI and FSS.

[taltos]

CI, Famous, Cigarplace and Duque all seem to be down at this time.

[SchizoFilly]

saw cigarmonster once in the last couple of days and nothing from the others.....I'm starting to get the shakes....HELP ME!!!

[Dunkel]

Today is Joe's Jam too. Bummer!

[Waynegro1]

Last year I would of been with you, I'd check the "sites" at least a couple times a day. Since S-Chit, I've not looked at the stogie sites but maybe a couple of times this year. I've been trying to support my local B&M's as much as possible (I've already lost one B&M thanks to our Government). So, that's where I'm spending most of my stogie money.
I have to admit, as soon as I read your post, I checked all the stogie sites and they're some deals to be had. :ss

[Thrak]

looks like its down again lol... during a jambalaya too!! :O

[kenstogie]

looks like its down again lol... during a jambalaya too!! :O

Same deal still down but what's jambalaya??

[Thrak]

Same deal still down but what's jambalaya??

Its like a woot off.. they put up a deal, its there until its sold out then the next one comes up.

Some deals last hours cuz no one wants them, others go in minutes and you have to be quick!

Its alot of fun, and free shipping on everything! :D

[mcmoyer]

looks like its down again lol... during a jambalaya too!! :O

Been up & down more than a $2 hooker.

[BlackDog]

Somebody's gonna be in trouble for this.

[Skywalker]

This is ridiculous!!!

How are they supposed to take my money???

[mrgto]

cigarplace.biz is even saying service unavalible!

[Clampdown]

I totally forgot about those sites.

[14holestogie]

Could it be the far-reaching smoke-nazis? ;)

[Thrak]

Its interesting to see how many sites, who we thought were not affiliated (for the most part) are having the same problem...

Housed in the same data center? On the same servers? hmm....

Unfortunately, my local B&M is a joke. The selection sucks (unless you're into Dutch Masters), and they were selling RP Vintage 90s for $12 a pop BEFORE S-CHIP.
However, when the wife and I are shopping in Albany, I make a point of picking up a few sticks at Habana Premium. Great shop, and they hosted a herf a few months back.

[joeybear]

I logged onto CI today and saw that it was a Jambalaya day. I was excited but since then, nothing else would load.

[kydsid]

Probably a DoS attack. I say that because I am still getting CI's email's. A list as large as theirs probably would be managed by the same data center as the websites in all likelyhood but are not being affected. Or some routers went down and tookt he websites with them but after this long I would think it would be fixed or even moved to another data center.

[Dunkel]

I got my order quickly despite the troubles.

[BlackDog]

I find it rather suprising that they don't have their websites 100% backed up at a seperate server farm. My company has all of our stuff like this hosted at more than one server location so we never go "off line."

True. But don't certain DoS attacks even prevent you from moving to a server farm because they target the DNS routing?

More than likely the cause. Our NK buddies have been hacking and DoS'ng government and other popular websites all week.

[Caymus]

I don't remember this happening when Bush was president.

[blckthree]

Now I know it isn't just me. I missed the 5 pack special on Famous Wednesday..

Mike

[St. Lou Stu]

Famous and CI are up for me

[kenstogie]

neither Joe or Monster were working for me.
