thats a good every day selections but as little as i smoke a week i treat myself Drew Estate Ligas, Tatuaje, Viva Repbulica, Caldwell. I do like Oliva and Joya and they are always in rotations as well but who am i joking im not picky i love trying new things and smoking anything i enjoy reguardless of price or brand lol

Hi, my name is lowrider and I'm a c-bid-alholic :stogie:

I've been a good boy lately. I just order a few Fuente Sungrowns every few weeks...

I love C-Bid for everyday smokes.
You gotta be careful with premium stuff.

I've been watching some Liga #9 Robustos 5ers on free fall. It's been resetting at about $65 or so. You can just go to CI and get them for $60 any time.
Be careful and double check your prices.

With the free shipping and coupon codes, those two are hard to beat for what I smoke.

So what brands & shapes do you like?

Well, many of them are Cubans, so those I get elsewhere, obviously:
H Upmann Half Coronas
Boli CJs
RASCC
SCdlH El Principe


Some of my favorites are NCs though:
Caldwell Gibraltar
Liga Privada Papas Fritas
Nica Rustica
Crowned Heads Four Kicks
DPG Blue
(There are others I'm forgetting...)

These are a few of mine in that price range. I know the latter two are inexpensive on cbid as well, but for just a couple it's easier to snag on the monster than to try and coordinate winning bids, etc.

I notice this quite frequently. They will have an MSRP then you go to another site and find them on sale for less than what they bid for. My only problem is racking up some decent deals just to over bid on one I want on the same shipment and still say I came out on top. I never never never go over MSRP though and try to use a formula for max bid and forget anything that goes over.

Yea I gota problem.

The problem is that I can't think of reasons NOT to buy when the prices are so low.

It would be like seeing auctions where they're selling Porsches for $10,000. Getting that kind of car for that kind of price would essentially demand that you buy it. But soon your front yard is filled with Porsches and your retirement savings is at zero.

I used to have a problem with cbid when I discovered the site. Than I found my flavor and started buying boxes much cheaper on other sites. Now I pretty much only bid on things that are ridiculously low balled. Once in a while I am surprised to see that I win, and it's never really a problem, because as I stated, I low ball the hell out of stuff.

I just logged on to Cbid and had to review and reconfirm my info since I hadn't logged on in over 90 days. I still have a half cooler of stuff I got there a year or two ago when I could not turn down a screamin' deal on some smokes I liked at the time.
