My first bid on devil's site

So I lost the bid. Someone came in last minute and out bid me.

So I got over my initial anger and stupidity for bidding with two days remaining on the cigars. And saw a really nice ten-pack of montecristo white vintage with thirty minutes remaining on the auction. So I won that. Considering those sticks retail in my town for about $15/ea, I paid around $6 after taxes/shipping.

Woot.

I have now been introduced to this site, and damn. It's the devil incarnate.

My challenge is always my address.

When I'm in Phx that's one thing. When I'm in MX, I use a friend's San Diego address. Let's see how it goes.

Well, did my first bid/win on Cigar Bid - you bums must be happy. Another has yielded to the devil's ways.

Planning to visit our Phx address in a week and a half - will get the pkg then.

No doubt it can be a great site to pick up cigars at a discounted price if everything turns out right. BUT it can be worse than a crack habit if you're not careful. Back when I played on their site a bit more than I should've, I'd bid no more than my set price in my head and just 'let it roll'. I did pick up a couple of boxes of My Father's and some other cigars that I can't pull up in my head right now. I also bought several fivers of Ramon Bueso Project robustos for a buck or two which are really great to me, especially after a year or so of resting. All in all, a great place to score cigars if you play your cards correctly......

Yes, the nickname of the Devil Site is very appropriate for cbid. Many many times have I gone down that rabbit hole, to come up with a few winnings bids that turn into a few more and into a few more. last time I was on there I swore I was only looking for 2 cigars (both My Fathers). I ended up buying 30 cigars total I think, only 4 of which were singles of the My Fathers I was looking for originally!
