If you hang out here long enough you know what the going CBid rate is for a particular cigar. Then all you have to do is wait for the UPS guy rather than waiting for auction close. If you get outbid, you know that someone new paid more that what is normal for that cigar.
By the tme you've been here for a couple of months, you will be up to hundreds of cigars in your humidor/coolerdor/tupperdor and will be in no rush to win an auction. That is CBid cigar stash maintenance mode.
