I go for what I’d pay on a good sale. I win or try again. I usually go for stuff I know I like though

That’s kinda the sad part about the auctions now, the limited offerings (…due to various reasons…) and pricing make it less possible and appealing to find and bid on smokes you’re curious about.

Well, that and the palate growth contributed to my declining (…and now dead…) interest in checking out the bids here.

There is really no scientific method for bidding that works well. I spent 2 weeks bidding not long ago and won nothing. Comparison to prices or MSRP will vary, so it's best to know what you want and what you can buy it for elsewhere. Right now bids on the auctions are crazy and sniping in the last minute is heavy.

Hahahahahahahaha! Thank you, thank you. You might be the first person that’s ever called me that! 🤣

But to be honest, I have a buncha beginner level smokes that I have a hard time getting to because I have so many “good” smokes. They’re good / good+, not really at the high-end elitist level (…although I have those too…). Like many, I save the high-end stuff for special occasions ‘cause i know I’ll probably never buy more of them. Fo’ sure iffin’ I had the coin to smoke only super premiums, I’d do it in a heartbeat…but I don’t. 🤐 😞

I’m no elitist, but quit smoking junk......well, what I consider junk, long ago.

However, I do like Papas Fritas, and many here consider them junk. That said I won’t pay what they go for these days.

Komrade 13, you should know that we (…collectively…) “liberated” those Super Premium “Elite” cigars from the rich capitalist! For the sake of the people (…so they wouldn’t be exposed to such materialistic things…), we were tasked to burn each one. Since it is a daunting task, as good Commies, each of us was asked to do our share. I could have sworn that Commie 7 sent out your box of smokes…no? 🤔

Re winning bid vs MSRP, it all comes down to availability and desirability. Big brands from major manufacturers can be had for 25% of MSRP or less on this site. Brands with more buzz and lower production, like Tatuaje, Warped, RoMa Craft, and Illusione, will go for 60% to 100% of MSRP. Desirable, high-production brands like My Father go for similar prices. Luxury brands like Davidoff and Ashton sell for about the same price as you can get them for on sale elsewhere. The only true overbid is one that exceeds what you could pay elsewhere. The biggest mistakes regarding overbids seem to involve drunk bastids mistaking the current and max bid fields or forgetting the decimal.

I’ll second researching sale prices on competitors’ sites and carefully watching free fall. Another good tactic with fivers and singles is looking for auctions with a high quantity of lots, as there will be less competition. Browse all lots and sort by quantity. Keep a list of cigars you hope to purchase and search them 2-3 times weekly. If you want to try a bunch of different cigars without spending too much, browse the 10 and 20-cigar samplers available on other sites.

Ouch!

But just the MSRP for those is…………………………..stupid.

Then again, I have not tried one and they may in fact be a $20+ cigar…

Well I’m guilty as charged.

Didnt really look at what was in the sampler.

I figured a traditional mix of Oliva, O, G, MB3, some Vs, some Melanio….

Gilbertos, Gs and Os?

Meh….

$25 yeah.. you overbid. Not terribly. Maybe you'll love em. But thems $3 cigars

But you get a box. I reuse my boxes. When I buy a ton of 5 packs I stuff some into boxes and put em in box storage so they don't eat up limited space in singles storage.

Probably the Special G. I really liked the Maduro version and bought a few boxes of those when they were readily available for under $2 per at the other auction place.

Ima say smoke the connie and let the others rest for at least a few months. I have a few Os and Gs and they didn't do anything for me after 2-3 months. I'm willing to ash them since it's been a year. I'll see if they improved.

And overbid? A little. $17-$18 if you really want them.
