Bill, forget retail. Figure most winning bids at 30-50% of CI prices. I'm new to the cigar game(jan 2013), but have purchased over 2000 cigars, 90% on cbid, since then. I've got lighters, humidors, drymistats, digital hygrometers, as well as mugs and t-shirts, that I've bought at what I considered to be rock-bottom, until I've seen them won for less This generally pertains to the "HOUSE" brands that CI owns/distributes. Lots of good stuff, and I love cbid. Maybe hate 'em too. You can get addicted! They don't call this the "devil site" for nothing.
Right now, I'm thoroughly enjoying an LHC OF toro, that's been sleeping for at least a year. Got at least 20 more of these that I got in various AJ Fernandez samplers, for $2-2.25 per stick.
