After reading all about how its the devil spawn, and I really should stay away, I finally caved. I even have it bookmarked on my phone. Right next to my bank account bookmark!
So far, I have controlled myself and only ordered a few fivers. But I am planning on a stop by wal mart tonight to look at coolers... Crap.
What are some great grabs you've had on the devil site?

It's been a long time for me since I have ordered anything from the devil site, but my buddy Taki lives on there. He will be the first to tell you on the amazing deals he has been able to get. No matter what the guy finds a way to pay probably about 25% of what the actual retail price would be for whatever he gets.
He's like the Devil Site master!!!

It's true, Taki is the only continually sucessful story when it comes to the devil site. He definitley has it mastered! Must be that Greek determination and will power:tu

Thank you Ken and Shane...
And it is true, I have had a great run at the "Devil Site". My last purchase, sorry for no pics, but I picked up 3 Colibri lighters - $4.00EA (valued at $49.95EA), 2 Solo Jr Stinky ashtrays -$3.00EA, Legends Ashtray - $4.00, Golf towel - $1.00, 2 Palio Cutters - $16.00EA, 5 Vega Ashtray - $2.00, and a Tall Stinky for $10.00. That was the last haul I had...all the ashtrays are going to be used for future bombs and as gifts to friends of the Leaf. Other than that, I check the site regularly and just look for deals, I even cleaned up more over the Christmas break becuase people were to busy woring about the Holidays (as though they should be) but it left the door wide open for the 2 Palios mentioned above. The Palios were gifts to Shane and Ken...hope you enjoy them :tu now that you know how much I paid.

I agree that damn site is the DEVIL. I don't know how but it would just by cigars and send them to the house... The Devil i tell you

Even a seasoned vet like myself ends up with some ridiculous stuff...by accident the other day I went to edit my bid and ended up buying a smoke for $10 when I could have got it for $3.00 :bh

I am a recovering Cigar Bidoholic. I tend to stay away from there, not because I can't control myself, I just have not seen much there that I want to bid on. Plus I have gone to the dark side and only have so much money to go around.

I wanted 1, figured I would get outbid on all but one, and won all 4. I got them all for around $80 each though. My cabinet got to my door for less than $400, sale price was $600 + $195 shipping, full price is over $1,000 (now its $250 for shipping :jd). Scored a box of DCM #5 for less than $100, retail is around $200. AVO boxes for around $50. Plenty of Xikar cutters and lighters for less than $10. Nestor Miranda Selection Lanceros, the original blend, 10 pack for $10 (x2). Once got a 5 pack and a Xikar cutter and lighter for $17. I haven't bid on anything in 2+ years though. :rolleyes:

Yup. im with you. Have been seriously thinking about buying a box of undercrowns, but just cant justify the spending right now... signed up for Cbid yesterday and have already won 3 auctions, all fivers, all for about 15 bucks. and with the rest of the things I bid on I have bid more than that box of U-Crowns was gonna be.... I see things and say to myself "Thats a great deal! UHC's for 2.50 a piece? Cant pass that up."
F me, I have no self control...

To save yourself on shipping costs, sign up for the once a week shipping. Opens up a lot more lots to bid on if you're trying to limit it to one invoice. :ss
I still buy from cbid, but a lot less frequently than when I started smoking cigars. There are so many retailers that offer so many different specials, I often find better deals on a lot of cigars elsewhere (Holt's has some really nice e-mail specials, for anyone interested in signing up for their e-mail list).
Love it!!! haha I am on and off again, plan on getting a nice cabinet on there one of these days...nice thing is I am working it out that I can pick it up instead of paying that ridiculous shipping charge of $250 considering I work right down the road and only live 45 minutes away :noon:noon
Taki, make sure you call customer service first and confirm they still ship their humidors out of PA and that you'll be able to pick it up. I bought my end table humidor this way about 3-4 years ago and was able to pick it up, but IIRC I was told by a BOTL here (AD720 maybe?) that they no longer ship humidors from their PA location, but from Florida.
If you can pick it up in PA, make sure you open it for inspection when you're loading it off the dock. The first one they brought me was damaged and they had to grab another one from the warehouse.

OK I shouldn't have signed up late week but I now have two "wins" under my belt and have been out bid on a fiver of Tats and a fiver of RP Edges! After getting out bid on the Edges I up'ed my bid on some Graycliff Turbos LE's for the win.
Problem, next month we're taking our semi annual trip to central America and I'd like to reserve some room in my humidore!

I can't go on the site anymore...too much temptation. I have over a 100 sticks waiting for me in the US that are likely to cost me 5$/stick to get over to Singapore. Even with that it's WAY cheaper if you can believe it.
I may need some help with the ones I bought for you guys to tell me if they are worth bringing and spending the $5 for although I tried to get what most here had recommended.

Don't be, you won fair and square, I did win a 5er of Padilla Black Bears and I was just too much of a tightwad on the 1666's enjoy them :ss
I can personally thank you guys for introducing me to CBid! I a bid on a nice 150ct glass top humi (still waiting and hoping on that one), just won an 18 sampler Gurkha and have a few other bids here and there on some Opus (don't expect to win those). When just starting out in this hobby it seems very easy to want to order EVERYTHING all at ONCE! LoL. I have to practice self control and figure out a way to explain how cigars showed up in our mailbox soon LoL :sl

Come back and take a look at this post in a year or two.....
Many, many newbs to both cbid and cigars can tell you that they won plenty of Gurkhas there...and most of us regret it to a large extent. And, I think you'll also find that Opus is one of the few cigars that routinely go for much more than you can find retail -- with a little sleuthing
Really?? That's very interesting...I was hoping those would be a good haul since I have looked over many posts and peeked in your humi's by way of "show us your humi" thread and always saw a couple Gurkha's in there. I need to head over to Tampa Humidor since I live right here in Tampa. They always have an awesome selection (bought some cigars/humis for my groomsmen back before I was really interested in cigars...funny..I know..and now I envy them since they have humis and I dont!) and their lounge/bar is exceptional. I guess that's what I get for buying before asking the Guru's over here! What should I be looking for? All I have at home are some Ybor City Cigars and La Pearla Dominicana's that I picked up in the DR on my honeymoon (10 in total):confused:
Hem, I think that to some degree it depends on 'quality' of your pallet. Mine sucks. Took many years to get to point I am now.
You'll see Gurkhas in my humis, too. Three different paths; some left over from early cbid binges where I bought the hype; some (two?) that I found that I actually enjoy when I can 'steal' them on cbid, and some that arrived via bombs - from other poor botl's who got duped, I guess. They get ripped pretty bad on forums, but I think they have their place.
If you have any confidence in your pallet, pick up two or three of something that experienced brothers here are largely happy with - not something released in last 6 months -- that excitement can evaporate -- let others chase LE's. But try a brown label Tat or an Illusione....and see if your taste coincides at all with what you might have read in a favorable review.

I appreciate the input! Now I have a direction to begin looking. I have no taste yet whatsoever so I appreciate all the help I can get! I'll keep a look out for a brown label Tat or an Illusione, much appreciated.:)
And/or if you're like me and spending a lot of your early days at cbid because the allure of searching for the perfect $3 cigar is strong....then, I guess another approach is also worth your attention.....check out the cheap cigar thread on this forum and seek out some singles and 5ers from those recommended by brothers here

Didn't make any cuts at all. Literally hot glued some cedar in, threw a few extra sheets in the bottom. Ran the fan wire through the back of the lid, and hot glued the fan in place, cigars, humi care jars, badda bing, badda boom.
Your talking about a wine-a-dor or a vinotemp. A coolidor uses literally a cooler. It's much cheaper, and from what I have seen does the same thing. It is by far the best "bang for your buck". But it sure isn't the prettiest.

I received a CBID shipment today of two boxes of the Torano Noventa robustos. These were some serious coin a few years ago, but they were basically dumping them last week for $49.50 a box (25). The one I am smoking tonight is well made and has quite a bit of heft to it. It is well packed for sure and has a good draw and good amount of smoke. I am having some trouble describing how it tastes - it reminds me of a jacked up Nub Habano. The Noventa is a habano x 2, with a habano wrapper and binder. Despite its Nicaraguan makeup, it doesn't really have that typical Nicaraguan zing (pepper) you would expect. I am guessing that has been aged or fermented out of it for the most part. I wouldn't describe it as being complex, but the base flavor is hearty and is surprisingly creamy for a smoke with this much medium-full body. I could see that it might not have the mass appeal they may have been shooting for, but overall, I am digging it, particularly at the bargain basement price of just under $2 a stick.

Guys I just want to throw this out there. I know a few are new to C Bid and I was guilty of this also when I first started out.....do your home work. I went on last night and was interested in a few things until I saw the bids were within a couple of bucks (literally ) of CIs regular price. With free shipping they would be cheaper off the regular site. Now drunk bidding is a whole different story :bhd :r
I started checking the Cigars International price as soon as I realized that Cigarbid was run by CI. =P

I see that on quite a few auctions. I always check prices before I bid

Just got 5er of Graycliff Avelino Lara 80th Piratas for $20, they go for $75 on CI. Also have 5ers of Gran Habano Vintage 2002 Robustos ($9) and Fonseca Arana Toros ($4). Two of my favorite smokes cheap. Love that place, of course my wife is going to kill me. I have some cutters and other stuff this week too...

I got a 5er of the Black Bears too, haven't tried one yet, didn't know they were mild.....oh well.
Curious about the Fat boys.
loved the FG Fatboys and at $7 for a 5ver go for it. Black bears weren't bad just not all that great either. Both me and my buddy said the same about them. YMMV of course.
Got my first shipment ever in from Cbid today to begin my hobby :D. Wife was less than pleased when UPS made the drop off as she was reminded of the money spent lol. This is the beginning of the end I believe :tf

I'm fixing to make my first mistake... Er... Purchase in the next couple of days.
5er of Victor Sinclair Primero Robustos for under 10 bucks, and that's if I buy it outright using QB and not bothering to bid.
CI's description of said sticks makes them very relevant to my interests.

Here is some pics of my first Cigarbid score.. I got the 2nd and 4th humidors on the right, 3 Xikar lighters, a cheap Colibri cutter, and then the two 20 count desktop humidors for under $200.00. I ordered 2 pounds of Heartfelt beads, and two new Xikar digital hygrometers for the bigger humi's. Can't wait for the next "devil site" shipment. Have to fill them new humi's up right?

I haven't been able to buy anything on CBID lately as the bidding has been insanely over priced. Not sure what's going on but most sales are closing above retail??? Time for a break I guess.
Despite everyone talking about the devil site, I never tried it - until tonight. I already won 1 lot, less than 4 minutes from winning another lot and another expiring later tonight.
