I just saw a 5-pack drew estate Java Wafe going for $23 with several QuickBuy-er paying $21.50. Now, you all know that you had better know your stuff before bidding, lest you end up paying more, like a bunch of dip****s. In this particular case, you can buy them from ********** for $20.99. I love Cigarbid, it is my most favorite site, but you gotta know what you are bidding on and how much it is elsewhere. I can't stress this enough.

Sorry, fixed the "Competitor reference."

Not bashing the Java at all. It is a wonderful smoke. I'm just saying.....

I'm fond of the Gurkhas myself. Tobac retailers usually want a fortune for them. I have been buying from cigar bid for years. I will usually go try something at a cigar shop before buying a bunch of them. It works out nice. If you watch for a while, you can get some fantastic deals. I got a box of Rocky Patel Connecticut Churchills once for $32, and a box of the K Hansotia Connecticut for $19 before they switched the label to Gurkha Park Avenue. I love Cigarbid.

Internet cigars are inferior to b&m cigars.....

You like Gurkha eh?

Boom.

I like Java, but the wafe is my least favorite vitola. Not a huge fan of sweetened tips, though, and it's usually just good enough to make me long for my dear, departed Kahlua. I like some Gurkha's, too... Symphony was my first love and I still love 'em when I'm in a mild mood, Doble Maduro tastes like chocolate cake batter to me, Nep. Warrior is a kickazz cammie, Legend is always decent and just hits the spot sometimes, and the Assassin and Evil that I had were tasty...

Never have had one of the exploding ones - maybe they prefer our 30% humidity? LOL!

Some great deals to be had on cbid, no question. Also some not-as-great ones, as the OP pointed out. Just know your stuff and watch the competitors' prices/sales and you'll know what to put as your maximum bid.

Your two examples--Gurkha and Rocky Patel--are probably two of the best ones as far as how much you can save on cbid vs a B&M. I'd add CAO, Torano, Camacho, and anything "under the radar" to that list as well.

Though I don't smoke as many Rocky's as I used to, I do think it's a shame that (it seems) he doesn't want cbid to sell most of his stuff anymore. I understand Rocky's point of view (I'd never pay $10 for a Vintage in a shop having paid $15 for a 5-er here), but I don't think its' an either-or choice for most of us here. If people are going to buy at shops, they will. If others (like myself) only buy online, whether cbid offers them or not is irrelevant.

If he thinks a vintage is worth $10 then he really is a delusional jackass.
