Has anyone else won an auction and had their credit card charged and told the cigars are back ordered recently?

Yeah CelticBomber contacted me and let me know. He usually takes care of that part of the customer service. He let me know that they will throw in an extra fiver for the inconvenience.

Never had that happen to me but you could dispute the charge with your CC provider if the cigars aren’t shipped within a reasonable amount of time.

What’s a “reasonable amount of time”? Hmm, maybe a couple of weeks? 🤔

The last time I had a backorder it was about 2-3 weeks after that I was thinking about calling. I went to my order history and saw a delivery was already scheduled.

And NOW you saunter in here, looking for advice on how to get cigars for a golf outing………because you failed to plan……..and ASSUMED Cbid would deliver your order in time for your links date?
You didn’t have a stash on hand for golf?
And on top of that…………………...oh never mind……….it’s just a losing battle…

Come on man… of course I have cigars to smoke. These were for the foursome.
I just think it’s bad business to auction something that you don’t have and then take money in advance for it. They had the same 10 yesterday on a quickie auction so wtf. This poor **** who “won” will be on here crying along side me:) FYI. I have sent 3 emails to them with zero response.

Oh……………I see how you are!
Of course you have cigars to smoke……….but……..what?
The cigars aren’t good enough for your golf buddies?
Or……
The cigars are too good for your golf buddies?

Which is it?

As to bad business at cbid?
Where you been man? Chit went sideways here a looooooooong time ago.

But you are in luck, because I’m in a good mood this morning, and will let you in on a secret.
(Pssst………..there are two other places to buy cigars online that are generally better than cbid)
You know who they are……….just shop there.

King,
These guys smoke little cigars like Kojak. I bought 7x70 bats so they can feel the flavor. I have bought from one of those sites and the cigars arrived so dry it’s like they were driving around with them on their dashboard for a few days. Olivia V,s I complained and heard crickets. I have gone and paid twice as much to a cigar store in a pinch but it kills me to give someone 10 bucks for a cigar I just bought here for 5. Don’t get me started about the pro shop idiots selling $15 road flares out of a glass top wooden box in a display case. It’s sacrilege. Maybe I will quit and keep the 3k I spend here each year. Loyalty must be a generational thing.

You want them to “feel the flavor” eh?
Ha! Feel the flavor of a 7x70 yard gar? I see one or two of them puking on the 5th fairway.

I’m not golfing with you guys. Yes, I do enjoy providing a full bodied cigar to someone who says they occasionally smoke or are trying to cut back especially a big wig and it’s sick I confess but priceless for future conversations like remember that time you took 2 puffs of that stogie I gave you and you got dizzy… you still owe me 10 bucks for tossing it…ok I am staring to see why my wife says I can be a Richard at times.
