Small run, but a very successful run. Ended a week sooner than I hoped - forgot to switch my ship date. Still have a bunch of bids in that was supposed to be part of this run. Oh well.
Finally got some DPG sticks to try, and a couple more of the awesome Jaime Garcia sticks Brimy turned me on to.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210417/45676082850bd7f232d99ef626afc4de.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210417/93d2c207fb427d73e074b6f29b190264.jpg

This is a dangerous post! Why provoke the devil in here??
I did get on cbid last month for the first time in years. Someone told me they had Diesel Wicked again, which I love and have missed lately. Of course, winning those led me to get some Nub Dub and Nub Maduro as well. All in all though, a successful cbid bidding experience, which I normally don't have. All the extra crap I would normally bid on i didn't and was disciplined. I think 10 Diesel Wicked, 10 Nub Dub and 5 Nub Maduro came home to me. Something like that.
I know, I'm shocked as well.

Just sounds to me like you're getting old and loosing your mojo. :sleeping: probably taking lots of naps these days...

Seriously doubt that you'll be disappointed with any of those. And like dinoa2 suggests, the DPG Blue label is another good smoke.

The last two weeks were pretty bad on the Angel's Site - a very small haul during a two week run.
Pretty sure DogRockets did a switcheroo with my Olivia Os and I got his Don Rafaels. Not too happy about that, bro.
Finally got a HDM Excalibur Cigarer recommended.
And another nice DPG lowball win!
Guess all-in-all, it was successful... discipline-wise, at least.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210430/c3314e69c08fe3caa2760f640cd08cd8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210430/a5c2a30933db7264d52682d77e594f58.jpg

Some Casa Fernandez Miami about a year ago. Still trying to figure out what I did last week.

Took them a couple weeks, but Cigarbid did refund me for the Oliva Os. Said I can keep the Don Rafeals - not sure if that's a good thing, but I've yet to try them.

I had a $70 order in January they never sent, never charged me. Tried calling customer service and emailing, I got tired of waiting on hold and never got an email response. I just logged in my account and saw the order was cancelled. So no recent orders for me [emoji23]

Ended up bidding on some Hammer & Sickle since allusred showed some interested in his MAW. Busy last couple weeks ended in not getting them. Lowballed them before with no real interest since it's an unknown brand to me, but I was willing to go up after reading good reviews and seeing that they seem like an extinct or not-much-news kinda brand, and that the Tradicion may not be available much longer.
Bob, I believe the H&S fivers were going at $20, and singles for around $5. Not bad - just didn't pay attention this run to get them. May be a good place to snag em.
Figured I may as well bid on some other stuff I've come to find to be good or wanting to try while going for the H&S.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210612/89240597c37267843d00274e9567d006.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210612/d729265533e0017aa0afa8193d252255.jpg

Made some bids the other night, the first in probably 1.5 years. Had my sights primarily on some RP Edge Lite, a very nice CT with strength. Of course, I had some more CTs on the menu that I went ahead and threw some lowballs at: MOW Virtue, Ave Maria Immaculata, CAO CT, RP CT (not the 99 or the Lite). Lost all bids, but came close to the Edge Lites at a Max Bid of $5 per fiver and a winning bid of $6.
Trying to find the trends and play the Devil's game. Not a good start 2023...

The Devil likes to play games with your mind while playing His game. He makes you think, 'Well, I won two cigars, so now I HAVE to win more." Two become a fiver, which turns into a 10. Then His rationale injection becomes "You know you have another full week of possible bidding to maximize your shipping...RIGHT?" He doesn't play fair, but that's why it's been 1.5 years since my last order. I thought I learned His lesson.
Top tow plus the RP fiver are all CT. Bottom rest is a mix of stuff I've liked and some new stuff to check out. The two AB Vanadals came ripped.
The thing is, I went in with sights on the RP Edge Lite. Do you see any here? You know what that means..

Cigarbid was awesome and refunded the two ABs. Very quick response and no back-and-forth. Lots of horror stories on their forum, but I've never had issues other than a response taking a while.
