Hello, my name is Tony and I'm a c-bid addict! It's been 12 seconds since my last purchase... Where's the 12 step program for c-bid addicts?

Is $1000 too much to spend on cigars in a month? Actually, it's not that bad now that I look at it. $340 was for a humidor. $300 is what I've actually bought and $350 is currently what I'm bidding on. I'm sure I won't win them all. The problem is I just got this new humidor so there's all this space saying, "fill me!! fill me!!" Plus what's more fun than opening a fresh box of premium cigars? I like taking all the cello off and then placing them back in the box with all the labels lined up perfectly. "mmmm shiney new cigaaarrr box... drool" :love:

But, what started as bargain hunting for good cigars at great prices - $6 sticks for $3/each, that sort of thing. Has continued to be that and then I keep running across Hyper-premium cigars by the box for a bargain at $250 a box or whatever. :sign:

Oh well, the way I see it I can always put them on here if overdo it.

Anybody else have this problem?

No, what happens is you refine your taste after a little while, realize that C-Bid doesn't carry these "special" cigars, and your credit card bill shows places like Geneva, London, and the Canary Islands. :)
 
C-bid is bad, mmmmkay?

But it is probably better then losing it with ISOM sites...
Not much better but slightly better!

When is LCdH gonna wake up and have a Cuban auction site?
Now THAT would be super trouble!

I was like that as well...

But fear not!! help can be found here and here. Good luck reforming.
 
C-bid has padron 64,vsg,cohiba,Monte cristo, it does not get much more refined than that.
 
Dirty C-Bid. I've found some great deals on some HTF cigars but I found I gotta draw the line somewhere. Be careful you might end up with some sticks you won't be able to stand in a few months then you have to figure out how to get rid of em all.

That's what newbies are for!!! :sign:
 
Yessirree! I've got...umm...a few from Cbid and doggone it can't put any up to sell for another 2 months (must be here 3 months before selling :( ). Give 'em some down time in the humi until then :)
 
Proceed with caution. I built a larger humidor because I out grew a 300 count box. I built it with lots of space I thought..... Went on c-bid plus started using other sources I can't talk about here. Now I need a shoehorn to get the door closed.... Looking for a larger box now, only problem is where to hide it from my wife....

Don't worry my friend. You are not alone. Fortunately or unfortunately, I can not afford to drop the kind of money you are doing but I have had some bad weeks. I had to lay off for a while. At first you are hunting bargins like you said. Then you are hooked. Its like the chicks that order Avon every week. Its the same sh*t in every catalog but just move it around to make it look different. That the same as c bid. Its sick and we all have the illness. We just have to stick together brother and maybe one day we'll be able to beat this addition. On second thought...SCREW that! Keep smokin!!!!
 
It's stuff like that that draws me in:

Graycliff Crystal Series
Pirate (torpedo) - Box of 25

I bought the box for $231. It's like a crime not to buy them, right? Anyway, I'm :D ! Can't wait to get em!

Yea they have them if you want to pay $30+ for a Power Ranger or $15-$20 for a Padron '26 #35 or PAM Principe. You can usually get a good deal on some mid-range stuff, but with the higher end cigars Like the Ashton, Padron, and Opus, forget about it.
 
if you are looking for some hard to find stuff try PuffStuff that guy is great and provides a serviec no other online site can. great prices and even better service. If you are looking for premiums then give him a call.
