Reliablity of cigarbid.com

Hey everyone, I just recently started smoking cigars, but I have loved every minute of it. I'm starting to build a collection, but I'm trying to do it the most price efficient way possible. By reading these forums I discovered cigarbid.com, and I've found that the prices there are great, but I'm afraid I won't be receiving quality cigars. Before now, I have been buying cigars from cigar.com, and I never had a problem with the quality of the cigars. Is this a problem at cigarbid.com, or is the quality of the cigars still just as good? Thanks!
 
The quality of cigars & shipping is the same as you would get from Cigars International, their parent company. I've never had a problem. Welcome to the group!

The quality is fine. Just like any other place, they have the occasional problem but their customer service is very good. Just bid smart, use weekly shipping, and you'll be fine

I have "won" bids at cigarbid for several years. Their quality is excellent and if you do your homework there are some great deals to be had there.

Around here it is called the "Devil Site" because it is very addicting. You need more storage space now--count on it. :)

You also should check out the daily deals at their affiliated site--you can check those each day at http://www.joecigar.com. Some of the Joe deals have been even better than cigarbid--but you need to do your homework.

Http://www.cigarcyclopedia.com has a price comparison list for ten major retailers that is a good place to start before bidding or buying from Joe.
 
I discovered the devils site a few months ago....there are some good deals...it is very addicting though. Haven't had a problem with quality
 
In general, I agree with the above posters that CBid is a trustworthy company and bid with confidence. I have, on a couple of occasions, received sticks with damaged wrappers (which were replaced immediately on complaint). For the most part, they are quite timely and reliable, with great customer service if there is a problem.

Welcome to the Jungle. Cigarbid (aka Cbid) as mentioned is a reliable company. You will find some quotes about the slope and buying more than we can possible smoke, but that is all in the fun of Club Stogie. Read some of the threads that have posted about Cbid and I don't remember ever hearing any complaints.

Again welcome aboard. :D
 
Some have insinuated that cbid stuff is sometimes damaged or stored improperly but I've never had a problem. Just be sure to give your cigars a week in the humi before smoking and they'll be good.
 
Welcome!

Cbid is nice, just take notice to the prices sometimes you can get killer deals other times, you pay a little more than retail sites.

Generally the problem you face with CB isn't the quality of the cigars, but the quantity. As in, you can't help the "oh, they have XXX on bid, I gotta get me a box/bundle/5pack of that!" situation.

I've only started smoking about 2+ months now, I've already ordered nearly 200 sticks from CB along with a 1500 count humidor. Once I get that monster fully stocked, I'm going to delete the CB link because it's getting a bit out of hand...
 
Like Peter said, if you bid smart and ship weekly, it can be great.

I just learned the hard way as I won a couple singles and 5 ers and paid way to much shipping as I was on daily shipping and got them all individually.

I felt better about winning several lots of Graycliffs that averaged 7 bucks a stick rather than the $20 and up msrp. I love Graycliffs and only get them for the price I want to pay on cbid.
 
I've dealt with Cbid for years now, and the VERY few times there were problems with the cigars they always made things right. They're a good company.
