I got a 6 pack of Cain Maduro the other day at the MB3 place. Added it on to a gift I bought for my brother.

Today I picked up a box worth (20) of Camacho Triple Maduro Robusto at the Tenski place. Cant beat the price at 4 dollars per smoke. The email I received said "private sale" so I think you have to be signed up to their email list to get this deal. I also added a Tenski of Rocky Patel Decade Toro to the order--also at 4 dollars per.

That's it so far this off-season. I dont plan on getting much else other than the MB3 deal whenever that comes around. I stocked up big time (for me) last year so I've been spending my extra cash on other hobbies.

Just an FYI the MB3 place is having a good sale on Oliva products this weekend. Good deals on Serie V and Serie V Melanio.

The Tenski place has a good deal on La Aroma de Cuba "Mi Amor" Belicoso, 10 packs. Cheapest I've seen them over the last couple years and I try to keep up with the low price on this blend...

I felt like I had to buy one even though I said I was done...

Hope this helps a few of you guys that enjoy this smoke.

Take care

BUYER BEWARE:

"We received our shipment of la Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Belicoso today and they look nothing like what we ordered from you all previously. On 2/3/18 we ordered a five pack from "Tenski Place" at a price of 32.94. Order #XXXXXXX. These cigars had a bar code sticker on the back of them with the size and dimensions of the cigar and they were sealed. More importantly the cigar itself has a firm pack and is a well made cigar.

Today's shipment however does not have that sticker, but of most concern is the smaller size of the cigar. It's noticeable. The 10 cigars we received today, order #XXXXXXX look nothing like what we purchased before. They are really old and completely under filled. At $43.71 for ten we thought we were getting a nice deal but now I'm not sure they're even real.

We would like to exchange these cigars for 10 that are properly filled, with the bar code stickers on the back. If that's not possible we would like to return these cigars and receive a full refund.

Pictures attached of what we received today on the left and what we received on 2/3/18 on the right:"

They are so under filled that they're probably 20% smaller. Even the bands are a little off. Will update when I hear something back from them.

Here's the update: After about an hour waiting, arguing, waiting and arguing some more, they finally offered to send me a shipping label for a return. At that point I basically told them to go fu*k themselves. At no time did they offer an exchange, and they wanted me to pay shipping to return the cigars to them up until the very end of the convo when I told them that I'd just take my business to the MB3 place.

They even admitted that the cigars did not look the same as the 5 pack they sent me in February. They said the cigars may "plump up" with humidor time. The cigars they sent me were much older (yello cello) than the exact same blend that have been sitting in my humidor for almost a year. So that begs the question, what's wrong with their humidor? None of the other cigars they have sent me looked like that. They must be storing the La Aroma de Cubas in a different humidor.

Time will tell I guess, and I will update. If the cigars taste like sh*t and burn like sh*t, or even taste off, I will never do business with them again.

Robert, I no longer order from that place. I bought a bunch of PDR 1878s that where on special, but they all tasted of mildew. Kind of like they've been sitting in a over humidified warehouse for years. I've had 1878s from other places that where very good.

A few months back, I grabbed some La Palina reds and blacks. Size was suppose to be 6" x 50. They measured 6" x 54 and did not taste right. All the reds and blacks I've received elsewhere measured 50 ring. Makes one think that many of the cigars they put on special are mistakes and rejects. From now on I'm sticking with Cbid and a couple other places.

That's unfortunate to hear. This was my first bad experience with the Tenski place after numerous orders. The Camacho Triple Maduros that I had ordered, just a few days before, looked fine upon inspection. They were sealed and stamped by the factory in 5 pk bundles.

As for Cbid I still dont know if the problems have been ironed out all the way enough for me to bid. Have you had any issues with them since the meltdown?

I'm just going to use the MB3 place and "the other place" for now. We'll see how those La Aroma de Cubas smoke.

Take care.

I've had no problems wth the tenski place, but those PDR 1878's are on sale there again and I'm not going to take a chance on them. The 1878 Capa Maduras were very good several years ago and I still have a few of them.

Tony,

The 1878 Maduro, Oscuro and Sungrown, as well as the 1975 Maduro and Natural all have a mildew, damp basement note. No mold, but they taste like they've been stored for years in a damp basement. I think it wise that you stay clear of that sale.

Robert, I've been a member here since '09 with over 7k posts, but the powers that be decided to close my account in '14. I didn't came back till last spring under my wife's account, so I missed the melt down. This spring/summer I won several hundred cigars here. Everything was in good shape and shipping was on time. I'm on a buying freeze right now, but as soon as the Jersey house sells, I'll be back here bidding again.

.....I ordered a Box of 20 of the new Cain CT 650 (6" x 50) from the other place a few weeks and they are a major disappointment. This has NOTHING to do with the retailer tough. For a cigar made by Oliva under the always full flavored Cain brand I was expecting something at least semi unique. What I got were 20 sticks with a lousy draw. They look amazing but offer up only thin puffs of smoke. The 5 I have burned thus far, after sending a 3 inch nail down the middle to get at least an average draw, have been ho-hum. Nothing better than 5 Vegas Gold or CAO Black which you can score here for under $2.50 per any day.

.....I started ordering monthly here again in January 2017 and have not had a single issue with any of my 37 seperate orders. About the only drawback CBid has is selection. Not the amount of lots offered for bid, but the amount of different blends. Adding new brands to their list consistently in any real amount has been slow and rare, especially when compared to the other Pa Cigar auction which seems to offer up every new blend made at some discount. But as far as purchasing my daily favorite smokes like La Herencia Cubana CORE, Man O War Virtue, Genesis, HC Series Habano2 and Maduro2 and a few others CigarBid is awesome.

just last week for my 1/3/18 I scored the following:

La Herencia Cubana CORE Toro (6.5" x 52) 30 Cigars for $72.00.

Man O' War Virtue Torpedo (6.5" x 52) 20 Cigars 5 for $50.00.

Man O' War Side Project: Phalanx (6.5" x 56) 20 Cigars for $54.00.

Camacho Check Six Toro (6" x 52) Pack of 10 for $30.00.

Ramon Bueso Exclusivo No. 1 (7.5" x 52) Box of 20 for $42.50.

Oliva 2nds Liga V Churchill (7" x 52) Pack of 15 for $29.50.

601 La Bomba Flash Bang (4.5" x 60) Pack of 10 for $23.50.

Cohiba Nicaragua N5 (5.5" x 54) 5 Singles for $17.50.

Quesada Q D'Etat Molotov (5" x 58) Pack of 5 for $13.00.

La Palina No. 1 Robusto (5.5" x 50) Pack of 5 for $14.00.

CAO Nicaragua Toro (6" x 50) Pack of 5 for $13.00.

Got an e-mail from another site on New Year’s Day but didn’t look at it till today. They were having a sale plus an additional 20% off on ALL items...including WOAMs. For S&G, I clicked on the picture and saw a sale price of 159.98! Thought “Wow! That’s a GREAT price!!” Went through the checkout process, applied the promo code and DAMN! they took 20% off of the sale price! Ran to get my wallet, pulled out my charge card and completed the order.

Final price with UPS 3-day Ground shipping came out to $137.96. Merry Early Christmas 2019 to me! 🍺
