Ok all yous unruly bastids, quick update...

FINALLY...hahahaaa


DID.

NOT.

GET.

ANY.

NOTICE.

NOR.

UPDATE.


..but,


HALLELUJAH JESUS! dat big brown truck dropped off a "partial" (booo!) shipment! Totally out of the friggin' blue.

So, there is apparently hope!
No word on the rest of my orders and that's what makes it so damned frustrating.
Also, having my cbid cart all jacked up ain't helpin' matters!

In hindsight, I couldn't have timed these orders more poorly. Fault is mine, let my stash get way too low and started to panic. Bright side? I get to torment the rest of you poor bastids on this board, due to the SNAFU. Ha!

Got my shipping email today, an hour after the box showed up. Didn't get excited, didn't hound CS. Just waited patiently, like all you should give a try. It's a bump in the road. They will catch up.

He prolly won't stick around after this... but the bastid gets it!!! Out of all these noops this guy gets it.

Thank you Sir, you have given me hope that other noops can follow in your path and figure out that it will be ok and the world has not ended even though their cigar order might just show up unannounced.

Nah, we probably won't see him again, he's got his buck a stick bundles with notes of leather, cardboard, toe jam and anal gland to work on, he's a happy camper now.

It's not a problem Cobra. Noobs are like a box of chocolates, thanks for the kind words.

Sometimes people just need to vent and having a forum like this is a natural outlet for that venting. To the old gits reading this, instead of bashing the newcomers, try to embrace them, dare I say be friendly? God forbid, lol. I know it's hard, your quaint little corner of the internet has suddenly been overrun by interlopers but things will calm back down and who knows, you just might have made a new friend who enjoys hanging around and contributing. Just one noob's thoughts. Later.

You let your "stash" get too low??

Please refrain from ever calling anyone a noob.............letting your "stash" get too low is the noobiest of noobish, noodtard moves.

"I let my STASH get waaaay to low!...waaahh!!!!!!"



Get a cooler, and get yourself a few hundred cigars so a missed shipment won't cause you to pee your panties again.................n00d!

eh...............this "web maintenance" debacle has had a very bad ripple effect....

Cameroon is working overtime.
ZRX is hiding, and has to deal with his mommy's stress.
JadeRose is nowhere to be found when the heat is on......typical.
Victor is pretty much useless.........as always.
Drafter is getting twitchy, and almost kicked a puppy yesterday (heard it from a reliable source).
Whistle was too busy seeing if he could steal any LFDs during the web mainteance fiasco to be of any help.

I could go on.......but what's the point...........we may never come out of this...

I can't say.....depends on how one describes "ends well".

There will be blood, and there will be casualties.
Cros will not be found.

I got to thinking though.
At least cbid was smart enough to implement this now.
Can you imagine if they had waited......say a year.......as in, a few months before the FDA ruling kicks in, and the big "cigar dump" of 2018 goes into effect? THAT would have been EPIC!

I can assure you that Cameroon is working around the clock to get all of you Noobs your new name in the order they were received, he is only one person but he's doing the best he can, please have some patience with him and your new name will arrive as soon as possible.

Then they should hire more people...we are expected to pay immediately and they should hold up there end of the bargain or give something back! Simple!

FYI only cameroon is allowed to hand out new names. There will be no hiring.

I don't know that I would mind all that much if all the disgruntled noobs packed up their avatars and left after the website debacle. Means more options and better pricing for those who chose to ride it out. DP Newell lives on.

Sorry...

I broke the site...

I got an order confirmation, and the site went down immediately...

Now that it is back up, I see I have no order pending in my account, and my card has been credited...

I apologize...

I apologize now for the previous apology...

Lacking both the time and energy to read through these repetitious posts ("How did he know they were repetitious then?"), I can't help but notice how many posters' post numbers are in the single digits - with the exception maybe of the ones that hit double digits by virtue of this thread alone.

Ok guys, wtf.

I tried to check in several times yesterday but got the dreaded 404 so I couldn't post. Bummer.

Now today, my cart is even more jacked up than it was, with orders MISSING that were previously there??
Naturally, I can't get through on the telephone to find out anything. /frustrating
No shipping updates or any emails.
I know a couple things about databases and losing my orders, when they are supposed be on backup, is a bit disconcerting.

Anybody got the skinny???

It's just my noob ass take on things, but things seems to be getting worse rather than better. d'oh!

Welcome to the NASDAQ cigar futures bidding site. They hold them for three months and as long as the price continues to climb you'll make out okay. Beware the margin call if the prices fall however.

Just placed an order with CI. A bright red notice came up indicating they are having some shipping issues that are being resolved. So for those of you waiting, just be patient. And come on guys, lay off the noobs. Cut them a little slack. Don't send the message that the forum is only for guys with no lives and so much time on their hands that they have nothing better to do than send thousands of posts to a cigar forum. And as far as your lame attempts at humor, don't think that graduating from the Acme Correspondence School of Comedy automatically means you are funny.

I have 4 ordes tied up with Cigarbid and CI. Ive called both companies which as we all know are linked together on the status of my smokes. No repleys to emails and cant get through on phone.
Both have taken money out of my account but nothing has shipped. Ive gotten the "we are sorry and are working to resovle the Bug..." Blah Blah emails still no smokes. WTF???
If they gave us a discount or a free 5 pk to apologize for the massive screw up I'd stay with them.
After I get my smokes Im trying Famous Smoke.....

Welcome! Or should I say, "Welcome times two!" Not content with a crappy first post, you went ahead and posted it twice. And with a competitor reference to boot!

For all of this, I think we're gonna have to go ahead and call you Dildo9"

Good: stash count in the hundreds of cigars.
Better: stash count in the thousands of cigars.

That way, you never give a crap about delays before the vendor ships out your stuff.

It's a beautiful thing!
