Curious as to which deals make people jump to hit the "do it" button and why. thanks!

I always hit on the Cains and MoW's when they are up. Tatuajes if I'm quick enough and Oliva Serie V if and when they ever show up.

I've noticed or maybe I'm imagining things but the prices do not seem much like deals anymore. I am always looking for troop supplies and am having more luck shopping closeouts and clearance items.

I did buy a shitload of the P Solomons last night but that was mostly for me, I love those things. :)

All those buy deals never appeal to me, I don't find half of them to even be deals so I don't bother wasting time with them. Even if they are deals it's usually BARELY and not enough to make me press the button.

I agree with you guys. They are not really deals just lower quantity so when broken down seem cheaper but most of the time if you do the math you can hit their site and get a box for roughly the same per stick price. It's all marketing and it works so kudos to them. Even Cigar Monster has a tough time getting my business these days. I would rather go to Cigar Auctioneer or C-Bid, bid what I want to pay and see how it goes. Even with those sites people are their own worst enemy and are willing to pay full pop or even more just to win the pissing match.:td

The Oliva MB3's show up at 27.50 for a five pack during some of the jams, hence how I have about 30 of these sticks stocked up :D

If you haven't made your way to cigarsatyourprice.com, I challenge you to see if you think you can beat those prices at the devil auction sites. A lot of people pay more for stuff there than what you can find when you shop around the lowest priced retailers online. Cigarsatyourprice.com takes it to an even lower level IMO and that way, you're not having someone bid against you.

Must resist....I thought I got a steal on robustos at $99/box-that is an even better deal. I have enough MB's to last me awhile though.

I went there and started toying around......maybe I clicked the wrong items but I had to bid up to 85% of their stated MSRP on there to get an accepted bid.

It all depends on what you're after I guess. In my case, I picked up a box of My Father's at 60% of the listed MSRP. There are some brands that you'll find a much lower margin between their cost and MSRP, thus you'll find some brands to be much better deals than others. I searched all of the lowest priced online shops for a box of My Father robustos and I still managed to get it for $25/box less than anywhere else online. In some 5ers I priced, I may have gotten closer to that 80-85% price point, but they were still better prices than I found elsewhere for the most part. I did find a couple minimums that were higher than some retailers, but I would like to think they could match them.

I know in pricing what I've traditionally smoked as far as NC's go (mostly Oliva), nobody out there was within 10% of their prices when you find what the minimum accepted price.

Yeah that's the reason the my fathers are sold out. It seems all of their good deals are sold out.

I never see anything worth the time on JoeCigar tbh. I have ordered a couple things, but they were impulse buys, and within a week I saw a better deal elsewhere. I don't really buy anything on there anymore.

I don't even look at Joe's daily deals anymore.

I usually jump on the cain's, dpg's, mow's. Just bought some Cain nubs today.

I don't go there much anymore but I usually jump on DPG Blacks, Padilla 1932s and the Dominus, and 601 Reds whenever they would show up. All are sticks I feel are well worth 4 bucks a stick or less. Cutting down on my shopping so don't go there much anymore.

Prices have been up.
Selection has been down.
I often check, but haven't hit
the button for many many months.

There have been far better deals
on CBid or many other sites of late.

NUBS, JDN, and MOW...haven't been on in a while though...will probably start looking for one of their travel humidors if it pops up
