Now that I have seen some posts dating back to Pharo's time it got me thinking. How and when did you discover CBID?

For me it was at the big B&M cicagr bar in Orlando last July. Had a few BOTL tell me all about it and the rest was history.

I found it through a cigar website (not a competitor) that reviews cigars, (about 25 "top" cigars a day)...

BOTL were talking about not paying retail and something called CBid...

I "googled" it and ta da...here I am.

bdiddy,

Where do you live?

Nick Perdomo told me about it at a tasting at the "big store" location in Heathrow!

I was looking for another source for a cigar I was smoking at the time. They carried it here. I clicked on the forum on accident once, and there were all these guys throwing their knowledge around. It was amazing. Then there's the jokes.

All of a sudden I wasn't watching tv.

I really do not remember, it has been so long ago...I think a friend told me about it.

The wonders of the world wide web, and an affinity of smoking cigars that I enjoy. I happened to find Cigar Bid, though I was apprehensive about bidding on cigars, thinking they might not be of the caliber of my local B&M. They proved me wrong 🙂

At cigarfest, someone told me that if I thought Cigar International had good deals, I should check out CBid. I have been hooked since. For over 20 years I just bought from the local B&M or when on Vacations. Long Live CBid.

Robert,

I live in northern New Jersey. I'm in sales so I travel. Remeber I called you last month when I was in Orlando to herf but the timing was not right.

I get to Orlando a few times a year and I always try to spend some time at that bar.

My friend who got me started smoking cigars told me about this place, and 10 credit cards later here we are.

LOL

I found it looking at a site that has 5000 cigar sites. That was 4/5 years ago I think.
