CBid is cigar-buying POWER at it's most potent. And like anything else with excessive power--it can be used for good, or it can corrupt you and drag you down before you even realize it.

I can only allow myself to use it in moderation. Over a month of sobriety for me!
Nate, have you been watching Spiderman?:hysterica

Lol, no, but I've been reading "The Wheel of Time" book series. Some similar themes :)

It's really true, though. I've had a couple different $500+ weeks on cbid, justifying every bit of it by telling myself how much I was saving. But come one...how many cigars do I really need?

...on second thought, that's dumb. I'm heading back to cbid right now!

So what this comes down to is I should put my house on the market now?

Hope it sells, get a storage rental shed, convert it to a walk in humidor with a futon, THEN hit cbid....

Hmmmm.....

My darkside fetish has taken care of any cbid problems. Even though I like a few others feel alot of stuff ends up in bidding wars around MSRP.

I can't win anything on there! The bids all exceed what I can buy them for locally....

It all depends on what you're bidding on. Certain items do go for retail price (higher even if they are hard-to-find items). But more common sticks can be attained at great discounts.
