[quote=QMPASH]I don't know where you got your prices for CI, but I went online and they have this cigar listed for sale at $136.99. Maybe a catalog? Maybe a misprint? 😳 [/quote]
As noted by Tony, they're on sale at the mothership for $59.89/box......................which is probably still an overbid.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does the term, "MOTHERSHIP" mean?

Uh.. Cigars International.

🤦

Ok, but if I do overbid, should I take the cello's off or leave them on?

Replace em with higher quality cello

What??? You mean I wasted all that time wrapping mine in virgin imported gold foil!!!!

Storage fact: wrapping a dogturd in a gold lettered Opus cello will instantly change the profile of turd to super prem and within a week the aged super will be equivalent to 5 years. If you do not notice the change instantly it may need DW added in the cello, shaken up, sealed, and microwaved on power 30 for a minute and 69 seconds.

This is my first time chime'n in on an "overbidding" post, so here it goes. In my short 7 or 8 months of bidding (lost count and quit care'n about time anyway), this is the one rule that I ALWAYS keep.....no matter how bad I might want what I'm looking at....................IF I CAN'T GET IT FOR MORE THEN 50% SAVINGS, I AIN'T GET'N IT. [ram27bat]

I keep hearing about all of this overbidding BS, but let me hit ya with some knowledge.....we are all men or women, if you can't control your impulses maybe you shouldn't be on the innerweb buy'n stuff. If that's not your excuse, then you must just be a fool for not doing your research. Go to what I call the "Mother Site"/"Mothership" (Cigars International....not sure if anyone else calls it that or not, just popped into the ol' grey matter), find what it is that you're about to bid on, and decide your ceiling. Problem solved.

Just my .02 cents worth

😟

50% savings off of what? B&M prices or CI prices.


You're rule is fuct already. You are here, eventually you will start buying better cigars. Just a matter of time.

Try watching the free fall auctions. Good smokes in there and dip****s can't outbid you on those auctions.

I'm talking CI prices. I love hitting the FF's. But you have to watch them too. Yesterday they were running 5 packs of Nica Rustica El Brujito's. On the Mother Site, $30.....on the FF, the fall started around $37 or $38. They still try to sneak one in on ya if you don't watch'em.

[quote=ah42266]some good, but VERY AVERAGE cigars that offer $3per flavor being sold to idiots....

I looked up the thread on the Graycliff Avelino Lara 80th PG. The "overbidders" bought it for $12.00 a stick. CI is/was selling the same stick for $100 for a fiver ($20.00 a stick.) HOWEVER, I looked up this product on Puff and most called it quite an "ordinary" cigar, making either the $12.00 or $20.00 price questionable at best. Further, there were many complaints on a "tight draw," so maybe this was an overbid. 🤦

I was one of the idiots who bought the Padron 5000 for $7. The mothership price is $7.20 ($36 for a 5 pack) and it would get thrown in with the rest of my order, so there basically is no shipping. This was my first Padron 5000 and wanted to see if it was worth it. I was at a B&M the night before and it was selling in the $10 range. I would have to agree AFTER I smoked it...it was average in taste to me, but I didn't know that when I bid on it. I don't buy Padrons any more.

At least you learned from your mistake. It's all of the walking dead that need their ego to be stroked that jack the prices up that piss me off. Just me though, I could be wrong.

Those can be had for less than the ff price. I got a fiver for $19. Keep watching the auctions.
