I swear....lol. Actually went two weeks without getting anything after racking up in December. Just won a box of Rock Patel Vintage 1990 Robustos for $64. Those usually go for $135 per box on CI's site!

Nice score! A Vintage 90 was one of my first cigars, and it's still one of my favorites from Rocky.

Nice pickup and an excellent smoke! :tu

I still think the 1990 is my favorite RP...

I had one not too long ago that I had resting for a couple of years and it was outstanding!!!

Nice score! I've had a couple 1990s and really enjoyed them.

The wife will probably kill me.... After the damage in December, I told her I would stay away from CBid for a while. I still like to play around and "Window Shop". Placing a few ridiculously low bids....how was I to know I would actually win these at that price. On a plus side...this is my first box purchase in the 2 1/2 years I've been smoking!

No need to upset the wife :tu

Change the shipping address to mine, I will hold them for a while and send you a 5er every now and then. She will never know the difference!

There are 10 in a box right? :r

I've had a few months where I spent a little more than I wanted too. Like you, I placed soem stupid low bids and won. Let's face it they aren't in the business of selling cigars for a loss. I know web sites and B&M's have some overhead but damn the price difference! I only wish cbid carried a few other lines that I like.

I usually get stuck when I place 2 or 3 lowball bids, thinking *maybe* I'll win 1. Then I win them all. :r

That's my problem!

My wife is all about getting some good deal in stores. She' all excited when she shows me an outfit she bought "This was originally $350, I paid $55 for it!!!!" If I could only get her to understand this is the same thing for me! "But honey, they are like $140, I paid less than $70 with shipping!!"

That's the nice thing about CBID,,,be patient and at some point you will win what you want. My problem is that I end up winning too much and had to change my end point shipping address.

Once you buy/win once, you want to win all the time. I keep buying cigars every day. At this rate I am going to have a million cigars and zero cash. Think about the present, and do not worry about the future buddy. Enjoy your smokes and congrats.

I get to the point where I get bigtime relief from those "Your bid is too low!" emails...
It really is an addiction.

I try not to outbid anyone, common courtesy.
