I hate to say anything bad about cigarbid.com because I have found some great deals here. But I must make a quick comment on the Ancla y Cazador boxes for sell. I bought five 5-packs earlier this year from cigarbid. I've smoked cigars for a few years now and maybe I am spoiled but these sticks are awful! After six months in my humidor they are still dry and the wrappers crack very easily. Aside from this the cigar has a strong bitter taste and smells bad. For less than $0.70 per stick I suppose you could take the risk but dont' get your hopes up on these. I equate the cigar with machine rolled sticks such as Swisher Sweets.

move this guy up to a green belt. He figured out that for .70 each he is not going to get much in the way of a good cigar. In fact, it actually cost more to roll **** up in a tobacco leaf. What do you think is in these?

Don't hold back, Wany! Do you like 'em, or not?

Green belt? I'll take it! Seriously, I am only saying that in the case you definately get what you pay for. These are presented in a way that makes you think you are getting a huge deal. The description says they once sold for $6-$7. When I bought them I didn't expect much. In fact the five packs were only a couple of bucks and I thought the boxes would be worth that. I'm just saying before you plunk down $20 for a box with shipping you should know what you are getting into. They are far inferior to what you can get for roughly the same price or less at any local drugstore.

Again, not trying to be spiteful. Cigarbid has some fantastic offers. Just don't set your expectations too high on these.

These are the worst cigars I have ever got from cigar bid or any other place, don't waste your money!

I also bought some of these and they are bad. I have now taken them out of the box and taken off the cello, I will store them in my humidore for 3-6 months. My experience is that this will make them at least smokable. If all else fails I will gift them to some of my friends at Christmas. I lose a lot of friends that way.....Russ

I'll interpet the Spanish into English... grab your Ancla's and kiss your Cazador goodbye... This is pure donkey dung sold out of the back doors of the nice strip clubs in Jaurez.

I hate to say this (I am still scraping my ego off the floor), but wanyburger hit the nail on the head. I have received about 5 of the free five packs of the AyC that CI is giving away with a $40.00 purchase, and I have to say...THEY SUCK!!! I don't even take the freebie when I order with them anymore. If anybody likes these s**t rockets let me know...they are yours for free (I've got 30+ of the coronas).

Why would anyone buy 5 5 packs of something they had never smoked? Why not try one five pack first? It's all a mystery to me!

I know this is against the grain here but I can't be the only one who actually likes these anclas, can I???

I too was taken ... I won a bid a few months ago for a 'three box set'. I thought I was getting a deal at $9 ... I still have two sticks left from the first one I opened, gave my brother a box (hasn't spoken to me since), and have one left ... anyone want it?

As I said, the reason why I bought five 5-packs was the price was only a couple of bucks each. Hell the boxes were worth $2. I put a couple of good sticks in a plastic bag then drop them in a Ancla Y Cazador 5-pack box for long trips. Presto-travelo-humidoro!

every one send these shi+ sticks to CAYMAN so he can dipped them in rum, amerretto, lemon pledge or whatever tickles his nipples. I got it, we can all chip in and send him a vaccum powered soak-in-ator made by Ron Popeil. Hey, maybe we can buy him one that can make beef jerky too!! This way we will have something to do with all of the 5 Vegas cigars we have lying around!!

Wany ... you really don't mean '5 Vegas' do you? I hope you're staying on topic, and refering to the Ancla y Cazador. You make a mistake, right???

Man I sure am glad I held out on those sticks...
does anyone but me. Open two windows and surf the ratings while on the Bid page for these sticks?
there are two places to get the ratings from, And I am more confident surfing the ratings then asking on this forum about your thoughts on a Gar.. "I was Born at Night, But Not Last Night"

1.) slim Jim: no I WAS referring to the 5 Vegas. They are good, but I ( and I'm sure many of you) have too many of these sticks!!!! 2.) Mr. Piggy, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY?????

USAHOG was quoting Kid Rock. I guess that's appropriate, since Kid Rock is a cigar smoker.
