Like an urban ledgend. ya hear about them but to this day......the mystery remains !
i hear all about it from the elders........how "they see them every order " and others that only see them every now and then !!! i think thier loosing it !! seeing is believing ! if you see first hand you tend to believe....but this....this is like ....... hard for me to believe in !



matches !!!






week in and week out with every order......watching .........waiting ! looking through countless styro-peanuts for that elusive thing they call "MATCHES" ......But order in and another one recieved , still haven't seen the great matches.



You don't think there's some sort of dellusion going on do you ?
enough people talk about it and others start seeing it ?? ........yup.......... just like bigfoot ! another urban legend........................

it's like American Airlines cutting out the Olive's on the flight and how much they have saved.. reading the posts here and knowing who orders what... well seems to be good math to figure out if You've bought 5 lighters.. you don't need no Stinking Matches!!!!!

I get them on occasion... box doctor shipping my order messed up because I've bought at least 5 lighters.. and I do not use matches on my Cigars anyways.....

you haven't seen the sixth sense ? go......go get it !!! you'll like it !! seriously ! another one that's fairly decent that would go with it is MICHEAL J FOX's "Chillers"? "Screamers"? something like that...ANYBODY KNOW ? micheal j fox's movie that i'm talking about where he can talk to the dead ?

anyway....go get the Sixth Sense and watch it ! it's not a chop-em-up type scary movie ! it borders spookie mystery drama if that makes sense?

I have won 3 Colibri Alpine, and I still get bombarded with matches. I get em every other order, signed by Trish. The note she leaves reads a little somethin like this:

"Let's leave all this cigar stuff behind us and just move to a faraway island. My jigglers are jovial at first sight of your golden, flowing chesthair."

....O.K, maybe that was a dream I had.

it's a drug i say !!!
when some people get thier shipment !! when they open it a fine airborn powder is released.....and when inhailed ......gives the the recipiant visions......optical illusions......the apperance of which boxes of matches were said to have been seen.
but i can not confirm that they have actully been seen ! all i have is hearsay !..........and i haven't felt drugged in awhile .
so we'll just need to humor those vision see'ers !! they have special places for them if they see too many boxes......eh?.......don't they thor ?



got that pool built ? what about a hot tub too ???

And there I was -- raving about all the high-end cigars Lowman sent me in his newbie "trader" box -- when "low" and behold the big-ticket item damned near went unnoticed by yours truly!!!!!

Was it that big fat OpusX? Naaaaaaah! Was it those two gorgeous ISOMs? Uh-uh! Was it the incredible variety of Bucaneros? $hit no!!!! It was that damned overflowing box of well-made, sweet sulphur smelling, flame-holding, ready-to-be-fired-up CigarBid matches.

]whooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee[

Geeeez, I love this place!!!!!!!!

Well guys,

I'm not actually the person who puts the matches in the boxes. I did go out into the warehouse and let them know how upset you all are. After I finished yelling and screaming and jumping up and down, I felt really bad because the ladies were all crying (a few of the guys too).

Seriously, my guess would be that those of you getting the matches are NOT weekly shippers. The warehouse folk are so focused on getting as many of your orders out the door as possible, they sometimes forget the matches. I did remind them that you all like the little treat and they promised to try harder to get them added.

-Trish

WOOOO HOOOOO, maybe there is hope for me yet.

Thanks Trish! Just another example of the GREAT Customer Service CBid gives us!

We ask, and hopefully we receive. As long as I can keep the matches away from my GF, LOL! Seems like she collects them before I have a chance, heheheee!
