Cigar Weekly

dwhale69 · 03-14-2002, 10:12 PM

Was looking at cigarbid.com site and saw some things I would like to bid on.
But first... I would feel better if some of you could give me some feedback as to the quality and customer satisfaction this merchant provides.
Thanks!

Dallas Dave
WOW! That's a big one...

I just won my first item myself. I should be getting it in the next day or so.

The customer service at this site is top-notch as are the cigars. The better known brands tend to go for about retail or higher, but there are some great deals to be had on lesser known brands.

Don't get caught up in the moment. Set a price you think will be a good deal and then check back to see if you won. And only bid on things that you really want. It can be addicting, kinda like gambling, so keep your head.

....now let me get back to thinking about what to do will all those bundles of "Knock-Offs" that I won.....

I have won a half dozen times. Good products, no complaints.

I'm always hearing about how people score these awesome deals on stuff like Oliva "O"'s and I can't figure out how they do it. People will bid well over what they could pay at a decent online shop. Must just be the thrill of the moment or something. If anyone knows any secrets they'd be willing to share, I'm all ears...

I have done well with C.A.O. on Cigarbid and I also got a great deal on a lighter, you just have to know what you are bidding on and set your limit.

Service has been great, no problems with shipping

I've had at least a half a dozen orders from cigarbid with no problems.

jchamb · 03-15-2002, 05:51 AM

I've never had a problem with them after about 10 orders. Like Unklebill said - watch your bidding or you'll pay too much.

tbateman · 03-15-2002, 06:00 AM

I've won many auctions on there. As others have said, you need to do some research and decide what your top bid is and don't exceed it. Some people get caught up in "I'm gonna win that bid no matter what". Remember to factor shipping into it and think about changing the shipping to once a week, it'll save you a few bucks.
