Why call it the devil site when it does such heavenly things to us? When we pay attention to pricing that is lol.

You can try but you won't succeed. It will bring you down lol...just sayin

Actually it is a one step program, delete credit card info!

I accidently bought four or five humidors and 75 smokes my first order.

I was out fishing and I got a call from the wife, "Do you know why our house payment didn't go through today?", ouch.

[shopkins82]

I've been able to keep it to around $30/month on CBid... the trick is resisting making additions to your order to "save on shipping". I might add a single here or there, but 5-packs add-up quickly as do accessories.

Hi Clayton :D :gary

[jluck]

I finally cut WAY WAY back and actually have gone a few weeks without purchasing anything from there. I had a hard time finding places to put all the crap....desk is full, fridge is full, I even have a box full of tee shirts and hats still in the plastic. Give it a few months and Talley what you actually spend after shipping and save that money for something really nice, That's my plan now.

Not to say it's not great fun on the devil just set a price and stick to it (keeping shipping in mind). Have fun.

[Ogre]

I have been lucky and not spend any money on there lately. I was there all the time when I got into cigars.

Am I the only one that never got sucked into the auction sites? I did go to cbid to get a good deal on a 100ct humi a while back, but that's the only thing I've ever ordered from there.

[SvilleKid]

In reality, I spent a decent amount there when I was early in smoking. And mainly ONLY when I could get a true deal. I've gone for 5-6 years now, only grabbing a deal when I can't find something I really want. Last purchase was 2 months ago, and it was the first purchase there in over 2 years. OTOH, this does mean my current card info is there, just calling me!

[cjhalbrooks]

, this does mean my current card info is there, just calling me!

dont do it be strong you can do it. RUN for the hill, a ship or even the moon. I am trying to stay off that site right now. i spent way too much on that hellis site already. I think they hired two or three more full time employees with the amout i have spent on that site.

[sevans105]

Hi, my name is Scott and I'm a Cbid addict. After buying close to 2000 cigars from there, I finally reached saturation point. I think I have enough cigars to last for a little while. I don't need anymore. I'm done. I can walk away.

Oh, but those Graycliff's are such a good deal!

I can do it, I can be strong.

Crap.

okay okay okay. I can beat this.

But, but, but now shipping is expensive....I have to fill up the box!

Hmmmm, Tatuaje! Less than 3 bucks a stick! Just a fiver, that should be ok, gotta make the shipping worthwhile right? Oh, and a punch cutter! My other three ARE getting kinda dull.

Crud, I'm never gonna get my medallion.

[SvilleKid]

Oh, but those Graycliff's are such a good deal!



That is what my last purchase was. 25 total of three different. And, they are about 1/5th to 1/3 what B&M prices.

Wait........ You're not who keeps outbidding me, are you??:sl

Make up a code word. Just say "Cow" or something.

[jluck]

Cbid does have rules against price fixing. FYI

[sevans105]

Ok...bad idea. Blame it on all the drugs I take. :D

No cbid collusion.

[Jasonw560]

"The duck flies upside-down at midnight" always works.

[jjirons69]

I turned my golfing buddy's dad onto Cbid a little over a year ago. He gets up every morning, checks his bids, finds new ones to make, and goes to work. When he gets home he checks and doctors his bids. This is every day. The old man says it was the best advice anyone has ever given him - all those around him would beg to differ. He retires in a couple of years. Lord help them all then. He's a-buck-a-stick kinda guy and he'll need a walk-in.

Someone at CI is a marketing genius! Especially the guy that came up with the weekly shipping/combined shipping option.

[cmitch]

Just one more. One more and I'm done. I promise I'll quit!! After this time.

[kelmac07]

Have only gotten a few things off of the devil site.

[cmitch]

I have relapsed. My addiction has expanded to buying sticks "off the streets" and other sites as well. I'm no longer safe because some brothers here have made sure that I've succumbed to temptation by listing great sticks for sale. I'm finished. I've joined others by sinking into the darkness of impulsive buying. And it feels great.:noon

[Mr.Weeee]

putting my name in there

[shopkins82]

Picked up 10 tins of Pirata Pequenos for just $2/tin last week. Great little 20-30 min hand-made (free-rolled) smoke and cost less than Swishers! Grabbed a 5er of Professor Sila for $3 since I like Baccarat, Diamondback and the like but these have a funny bit of sour aftertaste which doesn't mesh well with the sweet tip.

Have only gotten a few things off of the devil site.

Namely those LHCDC's you bastit!:sl Got me started again!:gary:r

[whodeeni]

Funny Story, in Dec/January i picked up brick of victor st claire 55 corojo
red cigarillo's. I had a tin in my car for short smokes. They were kind of dry
but everybody loved them! I would never buy anything else from him but
i've found that its hard to mess up a cigarillo/petite corona.

The Cohiba Pequeno's are actually the best stick in the Cohiba Red Dot
line!

[jjirons69]

Haven't been to CB in quite a while, but I have golfing buddies that are tired of smoking Thompson and want something a little better. They asked me to do their purchases, so I'm going back to score them some deals. I love buying cigars and I like it even more when it's not my money. Now if the devil site just had a free shipping code!

[RevSmoke]

You can try but you won't succeed. It will bring you down lol...just sayin

You know, I do not understand this. If you watch your pricing, there are not really any specials there - at least not on anything I have ever really wanted. I have looked, and looked, and looked, and never found anything worth offering a bid on.

Maybe I'm just a tightwad, but when I order something, I want a deal.

I have yet to find a "deal" there.

I have seen a few deals that others posted about, over which I was mildly envious, but never have I seen a deal on a cigar I was searching for at a price I couldn't get regularly elsewhere.

Of course, I don't go over there every day. I did at one time, but now I go over there rarely - it was such a waste of time to look and not find anything that I thought was "worth" bidding on.

I guess everybody's experience and approach is different. I just don't get it.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Todd

[363]

It took me a good while to back off of the site. Been clean for a good while, moved on to bigger & better pastures :D

[CoffeeWaterBeer]

I've noticed you do have to watch as the deals sometimes aren't really deals (as Todd mentioned above). I have been fortunate enough to save 50% on a mazo of 20 here and there but you have to be aware of prices through other retailers.

That said, my new ashtray should be coming in the mail from them today or tomorrow :D

[Blak Smyth]

I have been clean for about a year now, thanks for the support!

[iaMkcK]

Was big on CigarMonster, but never auction sites. Don't use credit, so all purchases are generally "OK, I got money now.. Buy something before I spend it on food.. Go go go!!"

Now? I barely even look at CigarMonster. When I get my new humi, I'd rather it be filled with all premium sticks.. My pocketbook and GF don't agree sadly :-D

[jjirons69]

My golfing buddies have started me out with $200. They want variety, decent golf gars, at a reasonable price. CB offers plenty of 5ers and small lots so that should give them the variety and hopefully a week's worth of selective shopping will give them quantity with some quality. I often see Thompson house brands, JR knockoffs, and Quorums in their carts. In this instance, they are the ones complaining about what they smoke, doesn't matter to me in the least. I guess they're tired of not hearing me complain.

I use CigarMonster but only bite on premiums. Like I snatched a 5er of CYB Lonsdale for 29 dollars.

No code for the CBID. have to pay shipping.

I have been on a.... roll, I guess you can call it. Scored some G.A.R., SWAG and ACID Opulence 3(been wanting to try SWAG and the ACID for awhile.) That should be here Friday.

I have another shipment ready to go Thursday. Xikar butane fuel, Nub 460 Maddies, AJ Overruns and Xikar Xi2 cutter. I am on there now seeing what I can snag before Thursday.

AJ's overruns are pretty tasty... I've had 1 or 2 from trades I liked...

[CigarSquid]

Anne thing I thought. 37 bucks for 5 is what I scored.

[jjirons69]

I checked this morning and I've "won" quite a few auctions and several more end tonight. My calc with shipping puts me in the $270 range. See, you can't trust me with smokes and money. I told them. But, I did keep it around $2.50 a stick average, which is something they were hoping for. I think they'll be pleasantly surprised with the selection and quality for the price.

[jjirons69]

Steals are the only reason to attend...

My initial $200 endeavor ended up being $510 after everyone had their say. My golfing buddies should be set though the late summer months. I had a blast breaking up their 5ers and boxes (some like small smokes, while some like fat one, some like maduros only, some like spicy, while some like mild). They were all like kids at Christmas. I felt like a black market cigar dealer with baggies of smokes going all over the neighborhood and work cubicles. :D

As least my purchase was justified...or at least, that's what I keep telling myself. Sold 15 cigars to a friend here at the academy, so my humidor looked kinda empty. That night, I got my 15 cigars back on the devil's site using the money he paid me...plus 22 extras just in case.

We had some old friends over that were travelling through this area and Monday night the margaritas were flowing like water. I was checking my e-mails Tuesday morning and there was a confirmation e-mail from the Devil Site. My first thought was "Aw $hit, what did I do?!?" :) Luckily it was only a small bid on an est. 1844 Sampler.

[CoffeeWaterBeer]

It's occasions like that that computers should be equipped with field sobriety tests. hahaha

[pektel]

There has to be an app for that. There is a drunk dial prevention app available now. Before you start drinking, you punch in the phone number you don't want to call later, and set the beginning/end times. Voila- your phone will not let you dial that number until the next morning.

Aw...I just love this thread. I go to the devils site once a month....ussally late at night while drinking...my latest order will be here on Thursday. Dont know why I purchased what I did, but I am know ordering cigars not by the stick or bundle but by the pound. My last three cbid orders were all 10-15 pounds.

[jjirons69]

You weak, weak humans. :hy

[Hem]

My father in law just got roped in bad lol. Ended up with a box of Alex Bradley Prensados and a box of Padron Family Reserve 44's

And it's all my fault since I introduced him to the devil site lol

[Azpostal]

So I have 3 lighters and 2 cutters on the way with 2 VSG 5ers tagging along!!

[shopkins82]

Just picked up a 10 pack of 5 Vegas Gold Bullion (6x60) for $26 shipped... if I can keep from padding my cart for the next 8 hours, I should be fine! :)

[bstarrs]

Good thing this site doesn't ship to Canada, I don't have to worry about getting addicted.

[sevans105]

Hi, my name is Scott and I'm a c-bidaholic. It's been 6 months since my last purchase, but oh the urge is strong! Not sure if I can hold out much longer!

[smokin5]

For those who don't know, Camacho SLR is or will soon be discontinued.
CBid's still offering a bunch of them, though.
Snagged a box (25) of the Perfecto Maduro #1's for $49,
and a box (25) of the Gigante Maduros for $58.

Nothin like a below-half-price deal, eh?:)

[Sweet_Leaf_PDX]

I just secured my final haul for a while. I'm not even going to look at it for at least 60 days. I am going out in style with a great deal on some Oliva Serie 'V' Torpedos and Comacho SLR Maduros.

[CamoFlogged]

Oh what did I do? No, no, no...

Never had an account until yesterday. No really.

At this point, I have won 14 lots of various stuff and 14 more current winning bids. I even won a flipping Colibri carbon fiber pen. WTF do I need another pen for?

I blame all of you for this and will tell my wife one of you stole the debit card. :sl

Should be good times when the mail man shows though. :D

[Robulous78]

LoL nice Jeff, The devil site, a cruel mistress indeed... :lr

[Milvel]

I've been surfing the site for almost an hour and have stayed strong. Thank goodness this site isn't filled with Liga and I don't currently need a humidor or xikar product!

[GodOfFire]

OK OK, I have laughingly read this thread many times. I have been on cbid and picked up a couple of things in the past for a great price. However, I got disenchanted with the site when I could never seem to get a good deal on some of the higher end Padron and Fuente stuff which should be expected. However, I began to realize I'm running low on some of my milder everyday type of smokes. I really had not budgeted in any cigar purchases but hey if I got something cheap I would just have to make it happen.

I place lots of low ball bids, I was even making a sport out of it, losing on everything it was no big deal I wasn't seriously in the market quite yet. Then all of a sudden I win a 5er of Padron Family Reserve 46 for 88? Then the bug hit me...


All of a sudden the Padrons are coming in the mail, so now I can't let them ride solo. I started raising a few of my bids now I got a small order coming..... oh boy I have become what I judged... it was so subtle...please help... :)

I hear ya. Somehow I won 22 lots and still have winning bids on 12. All low ball bids but WTF, I expected to win like 5. Come on people, I need you to outbid me so the wife doesn't :sl

Admit it. You're just a whore with a price!:r

It's gotten to the point I've started sleep bidding. Always thought it was a dream until the package arrived.

[RobR1205]

ugh...
La Aurora Preferidos Maduro x7
Zino Classic Torpedos x5
Joya de Nicaragua 1970 Consul x3

at least it was under $100 this time...

[MrClean]

Hi, my name is Scott and I'm a c-bidaholic. It's been 6 months since my last purchase, but oh the urge is strong! Not sure if I can hold out much longer!

I stayed away for almost a year. Then I got an email from them that I couldn't pass up, now I'm back on there trolling. :fp

[GodOfFire]

I think it would be interesting to see what are some of the best deals people have gotten. Because I was utterly shocked at getting those Padrons for $88.

[roro16]

Sorry but you got it BADDDD!!! lol

[organgrinder]

Tell me about it after that haul I said no more for a while but I still keep putting in lowball bids and winning then with just a couple wins you have to get more to justify the shipping right

[ksknnr]

Made my first bid and win yesterday. Just a 5 pack of some Alec Bradley's
Threw in a $13 Bid didn't think I would get them, but figured what the hell.
Got an e-mail this morning saying I won. Is this how it starts?

:adam

That's EXACTLY how it starts. The next step is finding something you like and putting a reasonable bid in for it. Then you think to yourself "Well, to make the shipping worthwhile I should bid on something else." So you find something else you like and put in a reasonable bid on that, too. Then you realize that if either of those bids doesn't win you're not making out so well on the shipping. So you bid on a third item just in case, even though you don't really have room for them. And then you win all three bids.

Then, of course, there's the late night "Drink & Bid", where you have a few too many, wake up the next morning, and check your e-mail to find four bid confirmation e-mails and you have no idea what you bid on. :D

[Heavy_d]

Very ironic seeing this post on the top, since I just came back inside from the UPS guy dropping off my first order from there. If this is how it starts, guess I better hold on tight, the slope looks a little slippery from here. :adam

[Lockspur]

Is this how it starts?

How WHAT starts?? (twitch twitch) :ss

[AdamJoshua]

:adam


Nothing to add just like seeing my emoticon, carry on. :D

Went on a bit of a tear with the Devil:

Diesel 6-pack with lighter and cutter (https://www.cigarbid.com/Auction/Lot/1641374) - $31 (reg $49)
Box of Cain Maduro torpedoes (https://www.cigarbid.com/Auction/Lot/1644084) - $61 (reg $149)
box of MOW Ltd. Toro Grande (10) (https://www.cigarbid.com/Auction/Lot/1640931) - $39 (reg $69)
10er of Fallen Angel robustos (https://www.cigarbid.com/Auction/Lot/1645921) - $35 (reg $60)

I didn't think I was going to get the Cains. I set my limit at $65.

Frickin' Devil. :D

Hey everyone, this is my first post but thought it fitting to bring back this thread since I just got back into enjoying the occasional stick and discovered this site. What started off as a quest to find a decent but inexpensive humidor has sent me wayyyy over the edge in a very short time. This is just what I've picked up since June 18th:

6/18 - 10 Rocky Patel vintage 1992 Robustos - $38
6/19 - 5 Rocky Patel Royal Vintage Toro - $20
6/24 - 4 Drew Estate Natural Irish Hops - $20
6/25 - 5 R&J 1875 El Gordo's incl 5 Herf-a-dor and lighter - $28
6/26 - 5 My Father #1 Robusto - $30
6/29 - 1 Tuscany 100ct Humidor - $43
6/29 - 21 J Fuego Sangre de Toro Toros' - $55
6/29 - 1 Colibi grip cutter - $10
6/30 - 5 H. Upmann 1844 Res. Robusto - $19
6/30 - 10 Alec Bradley Flight Sampler $28
7/1 - 5 Oliva Serie 'O' Torpedo - $23
7/1 - 5 My Father No. 1 - $33
7/1 - 5 H. Upmann 1844 Res. Churchill - $19

Normally I'd say I have a problem but from what I've seen the selection gets pretty narrow after a while. After reviewing things further I'm hoping I can stay clean for at least a month, suurrrre I can.
