Over bidding is showing others your financial strength, and of course the more you pay, the better the cigar will be, no matter what brand or size. For example, a cigar that normally sells on CI for $8 per single is no challenge. Coming to C-Bid and bidding $12 to start with a $20 top virtually assures, you will get the pick of the litter. I've heard from the "insiders" that there is a special section in the warehouse where the cigar overlords store the best cigars from each shipment. The people who end up with those, guys like me who overbid. LOL
Actually, in reality, I'm the cheapest bastage on this forum. Over my 40 plus years of smoking cigars on a daily basis, I've had the chance to try them all, from the dog sticks to the chump sticks. What it all boils down to is simple. Taste is subjective, very subjective. There's one super premium brand that's been around for a fairly long time, and it's extremely popular among smokers world wide. I've tried their cigars over and over and I just don't care for them. Even if they were 3 bucks a stick, I wouldn't buy them. If I told you guys the name of said brand, you'd perma ban me from all further discussions. LOL We all like what we like and that's all that matters.
Me, I've been a huge AJF fan since day one when his stuff started to be sold on CI, et all. To this day, his cigars make up 90% of what i smoke now. Like i said, it's all subjective. First time poster, long time reader. Have a great weekend everyone.
