America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

Noob question to all you Cbid veterans out there - how often, if ever, does this site offer up anything Padron or should I just forget the idea of ever catching a deal on even some 2000's, 3000's, etc (I'm guessing there's never going to be 26's or 64's, right?) -and the way people seem to bid here, probably would end up higher then CI retail anyway, amiright?

The reason I ask is I am looking to pull the trigger on a few full boxes of Padron's (thousand series, 26, 64, etc) but wondering if with a little patience I might score a bargain here eventually. I'm in no hurry to get them so I can wait if there are occasions where they show up AND offer a decent discount.

Maybe I am wrong but my noob perception is that Cbid is mostly a clearing house for some overstock and lots of dogrockets but maybe they purposely put really good stuff on here once in a while just to keep people coming back? Part of my perception may be that I don't really know a lot of good cigars. I am new enough to this that I really only know the more obvious mainstream hits and stuff that recently scored high on CA as I have started reading those top 25 reviews.

...which also makes me wonder: What are some of the more surprising cigars you all have seen show up here on occasion - surprising as in really good stuff not surprising really bad stuff.

And I understand "good" is a subjective term. "One mans dog rocket may be another mans favorite", I'm talking general consensus here.

Totally overpriced snob schitt

I got my platinum membership free selection of 50 My father Le Bijou's. Not bad for a ten dollar sign up fee

Well the story is that Padron and a few other like AF hate discount and bidding sites and that they require sellers (and their parent companies like CI) to maintain the MSRP on the cigars or they wont be able to get them anymore. HOWEVER, you can find discounts on these on other sites at times (albeit rather modest discounts) and even another - unnamed - AUCTIONEER type site that often has Padrons, sometimes the lower level ones sometimes sample packages. They are never huge amounts lower than MSRP it seems but at least a bit cheaper. So how do they do it but cbid can't? not sure.

CI sells a 26 set of Padron 2000's for $150.80 erryday. Thats $5.80 a stick.

$5.80 a stick is snobbery?

I shall look for this auction site that shall not be named. ;) What does it rhyme with?

cross thread evil outrage...but funny

I have no idea what you two are talking about. Membership? Free cigars? Seats at the table? Sigh. Time to google up.

All caps

Google is your best friend when it comes to learning about cigars. Do your own research, there is no such thing as a special membership here or 40 count wheels of Padrons that are missing the band.

This is the Troll stronghold of the internet, and most of these guys think of it as a fraternity and Co*kmoron is the troll greeter. They get their kicks by giving people the wrong info and of course hazing.

Some guys help but that is really few and far between, especially if you're new. Make sure you verify the things that people tell you... It's really up to you.

Also, not sure if you realize it but the Cbid site took a dump on February 10th and it still isn't working right, so I wouldn't bid on anything until you see that people have stopped whining about their orders not being shipped, processed etc here on the discussion board.

Take care

LOL Welcome! Mind if we go ahead and call you 24132413? LMAO

^lol
Q

Robert is just upset that he's gotten multiple "we've put our on the waiting list" notices.

A band is just a band. If it's worth the money pay big bucks then. The unbanded age better I think, especially for the 5+year mark. Sometimes I take a "real" padron '26 and put it in the midle of the wheel so they all get that banded smell.

I too have wondered about this.
For some reason, I seem to remember there were other issues which resulted in cbid not carrying any Padron products anymore, while that other auction site sells various Padrons.
But I could be wrong.....

RobertHively is a transgender that enjoys pegging and goats.

I hear he voted for Trump too.

Welcome!

LawOfMD wait until Mr. Jones finds out about you. He was ranting because that his John Bulls were the only decent thing he acquired the last bid around was a box of John Bulls hmmm.... Should tell you all you need to know,but it really doesn't.
😁😁😁😁
Q
PS Most of the talk here is BS fooling around .. Consider it a Newbie hazing or initiation..

You act as if the posters here owe you anything more than what you have gotten? The people that post here had nothing, zero, zip, nada, to do with the recent changes yet this little corner of the internet gets flooded with people whining about how their cheap piece of s h i t cigars weren't shipped on time. I don't see a forum here named "customer service" so until that happens and CI starts mailing out pay checks you can expect sarcastic answers, being misled, and generally being "trolled."

I will ask this, who really is the troll? The long time posters on this board or the noops that come in here acting like they are entitled to people sharing knowledge of cigars and how this place really works?

So lighten up Francis, do like everyone else did and figure it the hell out for yourself.

dont listen to him
hes not your friend
he just wants all the premium bundles for himself!
what a sneaky move
[holding spas12] clever girl

im your friend

now buy me some premiums - im getting low on $12+ sticks - and ill tell you how to get free matches with your next order

Yeah...............just wait till he goes camping down by the river.........the butt hurt will be magnified, and he'll finally understand his place in this corner of the universe.

Welcome! Welcome All! Mind if we go ahead and call you the troll nation? I sense that I've upset your kingdom by trying to help my fellow man, for that I apologize. Continue with your circle j*rk for another day and you should recover, and be able go back to your troglodytic ways. Again, welcome to all my little creatures of this proud troll stronghold. Peace be with you!

Ahhh, those were the days.


(sniff, sniff)

This guy reminds me of that whiny little girl that kissed the teachers azz and ratted everyone out all the time in grade school.

Prissy lil b17ch this one is.

I think I may have to smoke a Padron Anniversary tonight in celebration of these two noobs not having any.

lmfao

Hang on... we gotta be precise here. Just what kind of circle jerk are we talking about? Right hand in your own d!ck or right hand on your neighbor's?
