Congrats Jared and welcome to the slippery slope

jluck · 01-11-2012, 10:37 AM

I just applied some rudimentary math skills.....I don't have enough room in my humidor!

I guess I will just have to get another humidor...or cooler..or or start the wineador...I suppose there's worse problems to have in life...

It ended yesterday with a winning bid of $19. Was that the same auction?

RWhisenand · 01-11-2012, 07:46 PM

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!

Fighting words!

44stampede · 01-11-2012, 08:08 PM

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.

jluck · 01-11-2012, 09:37 PM

last minute snipe....that makes 99 cigars coming my way soon! I gotta stop this maddness.....off to cigar sprint I guess....

dave · 01-12-2012, 09:27 AM

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.

When my wife asks me "Did you order more cigars?" I just say "Yeah, but look how much money I saved you." and that makes it all better, for now!

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

I have had many of the Gur's in my humidors, most got from C-bid. They have always been worth the $1.00- $1.50 that I have paid for them.
