Anyone bought from Cigar Sprint Sale?

[Sonic04GT]

I'm sure it's been around a while but I just found out about it today. For those unfamiliar, it's a sister site of Cigar.com. One item per lot. Once it's sold, it moves to the next. Price continuously decreases until it hits their minimum or someone purchases it.

I've been checking occasionally and I've seen boxes go for $60 less than they are on the site...

Free shipping on everything.

http://www.cigarsprintsale.com/

I think I've found my new favorite site. I think I'll lose out on a lot of deals though when my cheapness kicks in haha must...wait...longer

[colinb913]

Bad ass idea, I have been watching lots go for the past few minutes. I will be trying it out next pay check. :P

[MrClean]

I have used that site and haven't been disappointed yet. Only two buys from them but pleased so far. The only disadvantage is you have to constantly watch it, but seems like most items are priced well and free shipping is always good. :2

[LigaPrivadaT84]

Have seen it, but nothing has interested me enough to buy yet.

[Sonic04GT]

If I'm on my computer I have a tab open that I occasionally check just to see what things are going for. It's somewhat fun and entertaining. They all beat Cigar.com's already competitive prices, plus free shipping.

I can't believe I just now found it. At least I have the self control to not go berserk haha

I've watched a couple and said if it hits this price, I'll buy it, but someone always jumps on it before it gets there >_< Good for me though I guess, saves money.

[jledou]

Looks like prices may end up around the cigar.com daily deal most of the time.

[Blak Smyth]

Interesting, it is better than the CI drop one because you can kinda gauge the lowest price based on the sprinter. With the CI one I always have to watch it reset a couple times to make sure I get a good price.
I have been watching the last few items, haven't really seen anything worth while yet.
I will keep peeking in on it though.

[chaase321]

Looks very interesting...thanks for putting the site up Chris!

[flyboy]

Any better then the falling auctions at cigarbid? Those can get crazy sometimes, and it's more than one item at a time.

[irratebass]

I'm liking this site, some great deals, but man they are quick

[Sonic04GT]

Glad you guys are getting some enjoyment. I check in regularly just to see what things are going for. Nearly every time it is at least 5+shipping lower than cigar.com. Like I said I've seen boxes go for $60 less than they are normally on the site.

Haven't bought anything yet although I've seen some items of interest. Someone usually jumps on it before it hits the price i want.

What is the CI one you speak of?

Gotcha. Been meaning to check it out one of these days.

Gotcha. Been meaning to check it out one of these days.

I use it most for accessories now. Just picked up a couple 009 punches and one (hopefully two) Palio cutters.

[irratebass]

I've been watching sprint all day long, pretty interesting to see the sales, seen some on there i wish I could have grabbed.

[Crownedone]

Oh!...thats just great another site that I can make impulse buys from my phone.LOL

[deadrise]

all these sites are owned by CI who is owned by Altadis It is interesting to see all the sites they own

[Cornrow_Wallis]

Is there a way to check for what the recent lots have sold for?

[Sonic04GT]

I don't believe so. I was wondering that myself.

[chaase321]

Just got a Liga Undercrown Gran Toro set of 10 for just under $40...shipped!

I think that is a fair deal when a 5 pack is going for 36 on CI.

They have Undercrowns on there? Those don't seem too common, and I've really been wanting to try one.

[chaase321]

Yea they sure do! I was sort of surprised myself...got on last night to post the "bomb" that Mac hit me with, and decided to check it out for a while again. The like 3rd or 4th one that came up was the Undercrown Gran Toro.

It started at around $60, and I clicked at 39.85 or something, with FREE shipping! They should be here in a day or 2 since I am so close to PA.

That is a great deal:tu
I am spending just over $7 a stick for these right now!

And I was just about to say it seems like a bunch of repeats, not seeing many new lots.

[chaase321]

And I was just about to say it seems like a bunch of repeats, not seeing many new lots.

I agree with you there. It seems like things repeat throughout the day...but for some reason that makes me think those are the ones that did not sell, and they are putting back up. I haven't seen anything from yesterday come up today...yet!

Also, just passed up on a 5'er of Cohiba black label and 5'er of Greycliff double espresso...it went all the way down to $40.21 before it ended (supposedly the MSRP was $162). I think that is a good indicator of how low it will go again before they take it off. Just and FYI if you guys see it come up. -(P

[Blak Smyth]

Padilla Series '68 Lancero
10 cigars just went for $22!!!

If I had the funds I would have jumped on these, I love Lanceros!

Up right now are 10 Pepin Serie JJ Maduro Selecto!!!!
People rave about the JJs, they went for $45


Stinky ashtray just sold for around $20, have seen them on Cbid go for $10 but without shipping.

[schollianmj]

I found it the other night and ordered a few sticks tha I have heard about on here and wanted to try. Diesel UHC and La Reloba three of each for 21 bucks, then 10 vegas 5 gold for 19 bucks... what is that 3.50 or so per stick for the first lot and then 1.90 per for the Vegas? my local B&M cant even come close to matching that, and if I dont like them Im really not out much cash. granted on of my Diesel's was split down the side, but Im waiting to hear back from them about that.... but still for the price Im actually not to worried.

[irratebass]

I am seeing some great deals on there.

[Sonic04GT]

I've been wanting to grab the 5 Vegas Gold fiver as well. I've seen them go for under $20 and will probably jump on it next time.

[Cornrow_Wallis]

Awww man, just missed out on some la relobas and MOW puro authenticos.

[irratebass]

A coworker just picked these up for $33

5 Vegas Triple-A & Gurkha Beast

Wow!

[schollianmj]

so I just got an Email back from Andy at Cigar.com about my splitting Diesel UHC.. He said that nest time I order to call them and let them know about my issue and they will toss in two of them to replace my one ruined one. thats the type of customer service i like to see!

[chaase321]

So i just picked up 5 Cohiba Red Dots and 5 Gurkha Titans for $36 total...this site really is pretty good! I mean a 5'er of the Cohibas alone goes for $43, and the Gurkha Titan 10 pack is MSRP on CI for $240..going for $50.

So basically $93 worth for $36...pretty good math in favor of me. :noon

Gurkha's retail prices are a joke, Don't ever compare them to what you pay:2


Awww man, just missed out on some la relobas and MOW puro authenticos.

That is a tasty combo!

A few good samplers sprinting today, would be great for a newb to try if you can swing it!!!

[Blak Smyth]

Super Premium Cigar Jar Collection:

2 RP Decades
2 Cain Daytonas
2 EP Carillos
2 AB 3's
2 601 Reds
2 Padillas
2 Red Dots
2 Perdomo
1 Humi Jar

Sold for $50ish
somebody grabbed it early otherwise it would have been some great sticks to grab if you wanted a humi jar!

[chaase321]

Yeah that's why I put the "special" price that they were going for...which is probably more relevant. Anyway...it was basically like getting the 5 gurkha's for free :banger

[Blak Smyth]

True.
That's all I would pay for Gurkhas, FREE. Haha I am a self proclaimed Gurkha hater. It is a personal preference and don't let my opinion influence yours.
Let me know what you think about them after you burn them:tu
I would be interested in your opinions.


A real nice 10 pack of JDNs and Cains sold just now for $30

Love JDNs

[chaase321]

HA HA HA...alright I will man.
Couriosity...do you hate them because they are overpriced altogether?
do you hate them because they are overpriced for how they taste/burn
or do you just hate them.

Just so I have some skepticism going into these!

[irratebass]

I am not crazy about the prices of Gurkha's, but man if you smoke them slow they are a good smoke...imo.

I have only had 1, so maybe my opinion doesn't matter :sh

[Blak Smyth]

do you hate them because they are overpriced for how they taste/burn

Just so I have some skepticism going into these!

My limited experience is as follows:

I have smoked 5-6 Gurkhas of all different price ranges.
I have not had one that I truly enjoyed.
A couple where not bad but not good.
I tasted one at a pass that was their most expensive cigar selling for $750 each and I would choose other $4 sticks over it.
Their retail pricing upsets me and their bands are beautiful which I think tricks alot of newbs into thinking they are good. If you look on Cbid they go cheap, really cheap.

I don't see myself spending any more money on the brand, but I truly hope you have a better experience than myself. It's all about smoking what you like and nobody elses opinion should keep you from trying something.:2





Anybody notice that the sprint starts over the MSRP on items? That seems dumb to me.

[irratebass]

A 5er of 5 Vegas Gold just went for $13.70

[Blak Smyth]

Great sampler going on now:

Rp, Oliva, Indian Tabac, DPG Blue, LGC, Ab Maxx to name a few.


Never mind it sold before I could finish!


Seems like people are starting to purchase earlier now instead of waiting until the end.

[irratebass]

Lot of nice samplers up today

[irratebass]

20 cigar sampler just went for 48.00

[Cornrow_Wallis]

I've had my finger on the buy button a couple times today and it hasn't gotten quite low enough yet. But since this thread I've had a tab open on the site every time I sit down at the PC. Thanks for the link.

[Sonic04GT]

:tu

I'm waiting for some Vegas Golds to roll around. They're $15 shipped for the Robustos on CI. Gonna be hard to top but I'll hold out til the end of the day.

[chaase321]

Just saw Tatuaje Ambos Mundos on there...haven't really heard of those, but a 5'er of them and a 5'er of E.P. Corrillo just went for $31

[Cornrow_Wallis]

I saw that one, if it got to under $30 I would have grabbed it up. I've been trying to curb my impulse buys as of late so I've been looking for just a ridiculously good deal.

[chaase321]

yeah it was just on again and stopped at $37...it jumps around so much you have to watch waiting too long or you will be having to wait again!

i hear you about the impulses though...so far that is what my two purchases have been! lol

I am waiting for the Java and Tabak to come back up again (going for around 36 so far)

[shilala]

I watched for about an hour and saw nothing but poop. I didn't see a deal that was better than at cigarbid, either. I think a guy would do a lot better at cbid, honestly. At least then you can do your homework, place your bid, and cross your fingers.
If you don't win you can bid again the next day. The items they offer are continually regurgitated, so sooner or later you're gonna win if you play smart. :tu

[Benwoo]

CSprint has the advantage of free shipping over Cbid though Scott ;-) Something to fact in sometimes too.

Yeah I've tried to find my 5 Vegas' on CigarBid and I either have to A - Wait 4 days, or B - Pay the same or more as CI or CSprint. I'll pass for now, although I'm sure good deals come up on there.

[chaase321]

Here is the first purchase. Shipped with a humi-pack and they all look excellent. This site has by vote!

[maninblack]

They had UC's on there? I need to keep my eye out for those.

[Chemyst]

Thanks for pointing out this site.
Looks good!... Too good!

Chemyst :cool:

The first day this thread was posted, I watched about 40 or so sales from about 9am to noon, then I shut it down for the day because it was too tempting...that night I turned it on about 7pm and 2 sales in were these bad boys. I was thinking that I wouldn't get them because they got too low, but the price was just under $40 and I got it! :noon

[chaase321]

Absolutely amazing!!!

You're telling me! I "thought" I needed to let them rest a bit, but some one in a different forum link said they would be good to go right now...so I threw the hygrometer in the bag with them and let it sit over night...and too my surprise this morning, they were sitting right at 68%!

I was thinking it was going to read 90% or something, looks like i will be having one tonight.

[Obsidian]

I've made 3 purchases from the Sprint Sale site and have scored really good deal. Also the fact they add a humi pillow to the packaging is nice. The cigars came in great condition. I think I just found another devil site like CBid.

[MrClean]

I just scored a box (20) of Cuba Libre ONE The Brute for $33.78. Cigar.com has them for $55 and CI for $59. I'm convinced that if you watch this site and catch it at the right time, you can get some pretty good deals. :noon

[roro16]

I've been on that site everyday since it has been up and running. I am a member of the cigar.com forum so Alex had kind of told us in advance that cigar.com had something up their sleeve but I was still amazed when the site went live. Love the free shipping!! I have scored a nice Xikar EX lighter off there, couple 5pks, but my greatest was a box of MF Le Bejiou petite corona for 77.09...they are a thing of beauty I tell ya.

[jluck]

Gee thanks! (sarcasm) just what I need another steal-a-deal site! I cant even reply to this thread because I keep going back to check out the site!
schweet!!!!!!

box of Romeo y Julieta Ed. LimiRomeo y Julieta Ed. Limitada Prominentetada Prominente (10) for 79 bucks..wow!

[pektel]

Damnit. Now I want to register for this site. I just saw a box of 5 Vegas Relic's go for $61 shipped. Wow.

[jluck]

yep, I just gave 34.00 for 10 relic's at cbid with no neato box!

[lilwing88]

Just saw a box of Don Carlos #4 (25) go for $127...... Schnikees!

[kuzi16]

Haha been checking the site almost daily since I made this thread.

[crazyirishman]

I was gonna say. That's exactly what it sounds like.

[irratebass]

Like the cbid thread, post pics of your "winnings" on here

[Sonic04GT]

I still haven't bought anything off this side haha I'm finally starting to smoke away some of my inventory so that I can make room for new stuff.

[oooo35980]

That site is evil, I keep telling myself "I have been wanting to try these, and it's only 30 bucks." The wife is going to kill me.

[forgop]

I curse this site for mentioning it. It's hard to look away.

[forgop]

Just got my first "win". Picked up 10 MUWAT 6x60 for $49.42 shipped.

Prices are much.better at 5:30 EST. :)

Congrats Duane!

[forgop]

I sent a message to them asking if there's a way they could set it up to have email/text notifications set up under your account preferences to alert you when a particular brand or selected favorite cigar is posted. Obviously, we can't watch this all day, but just thought that this might be a good feature they could use to help drive people to the site for something they're looking for in particular.

[Salvelinus]

I had quelled my deal of the day habits until you fellas made this post. Hadn't hear of the site. Now it's always in the background. Finally pulled the trigger on a 5'er of Casa Magna Oscuros. A stick I like for under $4 a piece, I'll take it :noon
