I know all too well I probably jumped the noob gun with posting about an issue since in the end it was probably better to address with people directly than in an open forum. Anyway, just a cigar bum who likes to drink and smoke at the end of the day, did not intend to jack the forum over my issue was just venting.
Cheers
Much better.
CBid uses UPS as their default shipping company. But, for the those of us in know there is a better way if you're will to pay $7.95 (???) more per order. If you call customer service the fine ladies at CBid will switch you over to USPS Priority Mail. Also choose to have your winning bids shipped weekly.
I haven't bought from here in a while since I semi-quit smoking about a year ago due to health reasons. But, before then I bought around 200 cigars a month from here for a few years. I chose Tuesday as my processing date. Like clock work my smokes arrived on Saturday.
On a different subject, if you haven't already done so I highly recommend you get some large capacity storage. Most the folks that actively post here have collections that include at least a few hundred cigars to as many as 5-6 thousand. When I stopped buying, I had at least a 2 year supply. Nothing smokes better than a well aged cigar, provided it wasn't a crappy cigar to begin with.
That being said, there are some real good buys here if you know what to look for. But, until you have passed some time here and made some friends with the azzholes, me included, who pig piled you, you'll spend a lot of time and money buying crappy smokes for 2-3 $. However, after you've traded with a few folks here and found a way to fit in, those same azzholes will be most helpful.
Oh, and I've been in a real $hitty mood for a couple of weeks. So don't mind me too much.
