Is there a way to see my price total before shipping date? Like an invoice?

I know I will get flamed mercilessly for asking but aside from going through all my wins and adding them manually, I don't really see a running total + shipping + tax + DNA blood type, etc.... anywhere.

Shields up. Flame away.

No.




But you can keep a running total manually on paper on your own

Methinks somebody won more bids than they anticipated winning.

Worse problems to have.

I just add my stuff up with a calculator. You can get close enough. It's never exact though, don't know why other than, ya know, numbahs.

I've done it. I have placed a bunch of bids that were low enough that, if I won, I would take 'em. And I wound up winning. So, worse case scenario, I buy a bunch of cigars that I will smoke for a price that is right.

We've all been there. Variety is good but go easy with quantity until you dial in and know what you love. The trade threads are a good place to participate and try some cigars you may have missed. I can't even count the number of cigars I bought because they looked good but ended up not being what I love.

I made sure. It's a fine line between bidding for enough to justify the shipping fee, the excise tax fee, the blood work up fee, the actual tax fees, etc.....

I won 75 Diesel Coronas because I love em'. Seriously I love em'. What I wasn't expecting was to win 3x 5 pack of the JOYA DE NICARAGUA ANTAÑO DARK COROJO @ $14.50 per 5 pack, nor the 3x singles of the Sancho Panza Double Maduro box pressed $2 each.

The last 2 I mentioned ~ I was literally the only bidder for 3-4 days...... I find that astonishing frankly but whatever. I'm thrilled with the Joya wins.

Grand total I got 93 cigars coming for $3.00 a stick. I'm pretty happy about that. Went a little overboard but I'm stocked up again.

Bet you a picture of my butt crack that the cap/wrapper on those sancho panza start to unravel when you clip them and smoke them... They are a nice smoke, but I got tired of EVERY DAMN ONE starting to unravel in my mouth. Single-cap sucks.

Hmmmmmmm.... I'll keep that in mind and be on the lookout for it but I V clip everything and I don't remember it being an issue with the previous 3 I got. The local shop sold me 3 Gispert Intenso box pressed cigs the other day. Very similar IMHO. Never heard of that one before. I want more. All 3 were excellent.

I'm excited the most about the Joya's though.

The Intenso is a joint effort between Altadis and AJ Fernandez. It is a good'un IMO. Much stronger than the regular Gispert blend.

I like em' strong. Waaaaaaaaaay back in the day the CAO Brazilia line had one they called "Piranha" that was 4 1/2 x 46 that they have apparently discontinued. It's not listed on their official CAOcigars page.....

I've smoked several Padron Anniversary editions that were incredible but those little CAO's blew the Padrons out of the water by a mile. I remember them being almost literally black and the smoke volume was absolutely ridiculous. Anyway, I'm always on the search for the next undiscovered by the masses NIC sticks.

I feel like the Diesel Corona's are a little under loved for what they are. But in all my time in Cigardom, I've never heard of Gispert but the 3 I smoked certainly got my attention. Rapidly.

Oh BTW, the closest 2nd / maybe even equal to that CAO Piranha I have found is the Joya's I mentioned in a Corona size but Cigar Bid wasn't offering that size during my bid time so on a fluke I bid 3x on the next size up and won all 3. (I think it was the next size up) I don't like the ring gauge being much over 50 but for those Joya's, I'll make an exception.
