There's deals to be had. Ship weekly and keep an eye on your shipping costs. The deals aren't always the deals they seem once you start adding up the shipping. Oh...and MSRP means nothing....quoted retail prices often mean little.

Yep.....

After paying the initial fee ($5.95), the "Shipping Savings Program" kicks in.......you have to pay attention.
The same cigar, will have a different shipping cost, depending on if cbid calls it a fiver, a sampler, if it's on Free Fall, or sold as a single, etc. And those 4 cheap cutters you won for $4/ea??...........you will be paying $1.00/ea to ship those........:-k

In general, based on my experiences, shipping costs here are more, and sometimes MUCH more (as in 3+times as much) for similar orders, than the other popular places.

Wait until you see the shipping charges on furniture type humidors.

I don't scare that easily, I've just been busy lurking on some deals and trying to avoid overbidding.

From what I understand, as long as I set my shipping frequency to, lets say, Tuesdays, I'll only have to pay the highest shipping cost of all the items I've won?

For example, if these are my lot wins for the week:

- Box of 20 - shipping cost: $6.95
- 5-Pack - shipping cost: $4.95
- Single - Just kidding

Then will I only be paying the $6.95 for them to ship together?

There are incremental adds after the highest amount. So you won't pay only the highest individual shipping cost, but you won't pay the combined total either. Somewhere in between. I find it quite seasonable, but others think it's a bit high.

Meh, for some of the deals we're getting, I can't get mad at that. Thanks for the info!

Cost would be $ 6.95 plus 0.50 and .025---$ 7.70 total.

It's always good to have a box of of these fine smokes on hand, so that you have ammo to take on that annoying, chronically mooching, brother-in law.

Fave trick I saw a guy do......he had a mooching friend, always sucking cigars from him. And always wanted his top shelf cubanos etc. So this guy began saving his rockdogets, and wrapping his old cc bands on them, then handing them to the moocher whenever he appeared. Of course the moocher did not really know much about cigars, and he always raved about how good the Cohiba or MonteCristo was smoking that just got handed to him.
