Is Cbid and Cigars International the same company? Pardon my ignorance, but I see both are run by a guy named Steve.....

CigarBid and Cigars International are two separate companies that operate from the same location.

You almost answered your own question.
Now remember to open CI and NEVER bid more than you can go buy them outright, unless you want to help support my habbit, heheheeee.

Another bit of advise, go read up on the Newbie threads posted throughout, and it will save you some future embarrasments.

So sit back, duct tape in, and enjoy the ride!!!

No problem, now you know, heheheeeee.

The thread does mention, "Keep Cigar International's site open for price comparison." Right there should/could give a newbie a clue. We're just trying to help, and I emphasize trying. We all were there at one point in time.

I've been a customer of CigarBid (and to a lesser degree CI) since the beginning when Keith and John started this company.... and after they sold out to Swedish Match these two companies (especially CB) have seriously declined. i've spend OVER $70,000 ON CB and CI (NOT an exaggeration) ALLL for PERSONAL CONSUMPTION... and trust me, the changes are bordering intolerable. The new mindset is ONLY about profit. i'm only still here because i'm too lazy to find another place to purchase cigars. ZERO RESPECT to someone who has spent over $70,000.... and frankly, someone who spends $70 deserves the same respect that i do.

I knew John and Keith personally and they were both amazing guys (especially John). John had invited me to his office at Headquarters, then gave me a fabulous VIP tour of the CB/CI headquarters and they appreciated my business. The new owners don't give a flip about me (or you) and don't even know i exist.

You're like the only fog left on this site that still buys here.

And frank has been worried sick... something about his overbidding offspring or something.

SeaCoast you seem like a good egg, so let me let you know about a little secret here is long time forum guys know about. The new owner of CBid is Named Dave, and he really likes taking care of the longtime guys here when we occasionally hit a bump in the road.

Call (214) 914-3337 9-4 central and ask for Dave, tell him jaderose sent you and he’ll get you taken care of!
