I keep looking to bid on a five pack out of curiousity, but hells bells the bidding for them is always at CI retail or more. I am not complaining here about overbidding, I guess I may just have to break down and buy a five pack from CI direct and be done with it.
But on a similar note, is it me or is it gradually getting more difficult to get really good deals on the better cigars? I remember when the auctions first started and you could have the pick of the litter, but obviously as more people sign up, the deals will be getting tougher and many of the cigars I have been wanting to try on the five pack auctions I have been almost always paying my top bid price which isn't too much less than the retail, and I am getting out bid much more frequently than I use to. Not complaining, just observing. Of course the rubbish cigars you can still get for a dime a dozen but I am not about to invest an hour of my time choking on those.
