Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Sites are down (except for Cigar Monster), and they are trying to get back online but don't have a ETA. My guess is that they share the same hosting provider, and that's probably where the issue is. If you know better, please share.

But I will admit, I feel a little like a lost puppy. I like looking at my cigar sites a few times a day. How about you?

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

nope :D

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Yeah me too. I have had an order in through CIfor a couple days now. I hope they throw a little somethin' somethin' in for the inconvenience. LOL :fu

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

I still check it in the hopes they'll be up this time.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Someone is soooooo getting fired! :D

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

damn.. makes me wish I had gotten on CBid with some really good early cheap bids before the site went down. :)

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

They had big problems yesterday too... it came back up in the evening long enough for me to get the Partagas Black deal on joe.

They had Perdomo Golf 7" torpedos on JoeCigar at 6am this morning, it was not a jam.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Yeah, I have a feeling that some bodies are gonna get some real good deals on some stuff if they don't get it back up soon.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

That would explain why joecigar was down.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

C-Bid must be on a different server since I have been able to get on there but not the others.

No great deals I have seen the last few days :(

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Both CI and Famous seem to be up now but they are running slow.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

I expect we'll see one hell of a jam tomorrow on joecigar. :D

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Have been on Cbid all night taking advantage of the great deals

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

I ended up with 5ers of RP Vintage 92 toros, RP Sungrown Torps, and Sancho Panza "extra fuerte" madrid's shipped for 40 bucks! I am happy w the temporary problems!

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

When the sites are down I save a lot of money!!!:tu

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Sheesh....the Hilton hotel website was down today too, for all their hotels: Hilton, Hampton Inn, etc. Coincidence ? Or more cyber-attacks ??

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Something was going on. The Sears site would load but would not display any information. Sounds like a cyber attack on commercial sites.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Too bad they are down. Cigarplace.biz is a great back up and usually kicks the poopout of CI and FSS.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

CI, Famous, Cigarplace and Duque all seem to be down at this time.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

saw cigarmonster once in the last couple of days and nothing from the others.....I'm starting to get the shakes....HELP ME!!!

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Today is Joe's Jam too. Bummer!

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Last year I would of been with you, I'd check the "sites" at least a couple times a day. Since S-Chit, I've not looked at the stogie sites but maybe a couple of times this year. I've been trying to support my local B&M's as much as possible (I've already lost one B&M thanks to our Government). So, that's where I'm spending most of my stogie money.
I have to admit, as soon as I read your post, I checked all the stogie sites and they're some deals to be had. :ss

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

looks like its down again lol... during a jambalaya too!! :O

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Same deal still down but what's jambalaya??

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Its like a woot off.. they put up a deal, its there until its sold out then the next one comes up.

Some deals last hours cuz no one wants them, others go in minutes and you have to be quick!

Its alot of fun, and free shipping on everything! :D

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Been up & down more than a $2 hooker.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Somebody's gonna be in trouble for this.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

cigarplace.biz is even saying service unavalible!

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

I totally forgot about those sites.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Could it be the far-reaching smoke-nazis? ;)

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Its interesting to see how many sites, who we thought were not affiliated (for the most part) are having the same problem...

Housed in the same data center? On the same servers? hmm....

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Unfortunately, my local B&M is a joke. The selection sucks (unless you're into Dutch Masters), and they were selling RP Vintage 90s for $12 a pop BEFORE S-CHIP.
However, when the wife and I are shopping in Albany, I make a point of picking up a few sticks at Habana Premium. Great shop, and they hosted a herf a few months back.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

I logged onto CI today and saw that it was a Jambalaya day. I was excited but since then, nothing else would load.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Probably a DoS attack. I say that because I am still getting CI's email's. A list as large as theirs probably would be managed by the same data center as the websites in all likelyhood but are not being affected. Or some routers went down and tookt he websites with them but after this long I would think it would be fixed or even moved to another data center.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

I got my order quickly despite the troubles.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

I find it rather suprising that they don't have their websites 100% backed up at a seperate server farm. My company has all of our stuff like this hosted at more than one server location so we never go "off line."

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

True. But don't certain DoS attacks even prevent you from moving to a server farm because they target the DNS routing?

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

More than likely the cause. Our NK buddies have been hacking and DoS'ng government and other popular websites all week.

I don't remember this happening when Bush was president.

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Now I know it isn't just me. I missed the 5 pack special on Famous Wednesday..

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

Famous and CI are up for me

Re: Are you going through CI/Famous withdrawals?
 

neither Joe or Monster were working for me.
