please don't say anything. i bought 5 5packs of ????
for a total of $75. normally a box of 25 would run in the $200. range. the hamilton house that go for $10. to $15. per cigar in vegas (i hate to call them sticks. gum comes in sticks, birds sit on sticks, and i used to play pick up sticks) went for $20. a box of 25. these may not be the best cigars in the world, but they are way above average. there are a lot of excellent cigars going for less than they should, and sometimes people get carried away, and over pay. please don't point that out again, you will screw up my bidding.

I agree with you on your rant regarding bidders who do not know "market value". Aristof's are/were fine cigars and has a great supply of them...He is thinking about producing them again-at a reasonable price!

As I sit here enjoying my $35.00 a five pack Padron #3000.. I think should I even sign in and make statement to this Overbidding Moron Post.. An Auction is an Auction.. So I think Yes maybe I should because possibly this person who made this Post is the same guy who has been Bidding right along side of my over bids with his Comment of you can get these at retail for less.. or some other comment I have seen.. looking far beyond that comment tho after the Auction closes and he along with I paid over what it Would sell for retail.. I think to my self well who's the Moron/dumby here?? Man these Padrons are well worth the extra change I spent on them Crunch the Numbers
5 x 7.00 = 35.00... and I paid 11.00 a Gar' in the local Shop.. not bad for not waistin the Gas to get there... Laterzzzzzzzzz

When I first started bidding, yes, I too got carried away and overspent on a couple of items. Biggest blunder thinking a 10 pack was a box!!!! Live and learn. But don't admit that you overbid on purpose!
Wow....bring on the CAO's and other "pricey" smokes!

When i first started, I overbid on some stick. I used to label all of my cigars w/ the date and price paid, and often shake my head at my own foolishness when seeing some of those prices.

Today JP must have hit the lottery. 39 for a 5 pack of
Bock y Ca Corona Oscuro. Whoa! This isn't just a little high it's outragous. I guess some people have money to burn.

Forum researchers seem to believe so, but no one has yet to explain how he and dmv ever agreed on anything.

I herfed with RICKAMAVEN (RIP) when I was assigned to get him to affix his autograph to a get well card when it was discovered we lived within thirty minutes. By then, he rarely posted...

He finally returned my calls, after several weeks. He was quite the character. He reminded me of a leprechaun, with a mischievous glint in his eyes...

He admitted to me that he enjoyed posting some crap on CBid, just knowing he was gonna rile some guys up. His favorite memories of Cbid were from the Las Vegas herf to honor MACS and his service at which he met many CBid brothers...he thought I'd like to meet those guys...in his estimation they were a good and fun bunch...

Secret: peeps thought he posted in all-caps because he was outraged or angry or passionate...in truth, he had extreme myopia that was not satisfactorily corrected by glasses...his passion was music, many genres...the man had an infinite collection of vinyl, tapes and CD's in his cluttered office...five minutes turned into several hours...

we departed with the intention to get together again; on me as he didn't drive much due to his vision issues...sadly, he passed shortly thereafter.
