If you have avoided the financial black hole that is cbid...SAVE YOURSELF!!! Seriously though, it really does have some good deals...I picked up a box of rocky patel vintage 1990 for 38 bucks. RP 90s for less than 2 bucks a stick!! How could I not!

:-) HA! SO TRUE!!!!

Cbid is so bad because the buying is WAY more addictive than the smoking....the Quickies page always gets me. All the bids start at a buck....How can you not bid on a box of RP Vintage 1990's for a buck...then is rises, and you HAVE to bid because now it's 20 bucks...and 20 bucks is still super cheap, then its 40 bucks....and heck, that's still just 2 bucks a stick right? So you bid again, and again. And oh, those Man o War samplers look awesome...have to bid on those, Oh, and there's those 601 Blue labels those guys on CA were talking about. Pretty soon you wind up with 150 cigars coming.

The next week you do it ALL over again. BAD BAD BAD. Like I said in another post, "If I wasn't already divorced, this would get me there".

I just checked my new winnings....I have another 100 coming. (oops)

Read OP's post and wondered how soon I was beaten to this response.
Seems it was post #2.:-)

Yup... I have had the same problem for a while. I'm spending myself into oblivion when I SHOULD be saving for the 3 - 4 boxes that I KNOW I want. Ugh.

...I have another massive shipment going out tomorrow (I do the weekly to save on shipping) and it's gonna sting my bank account. And overflow my little desktop humi.
[Reply]

I might be able to fit a few in my humi for you... That is if you need storage space... I WILL NOT promise that they will still be there when you come back looking for them though...

You guys are SOOO generous and willing to help. :-) I come to you with a true need and you simply make fun of me. Guess I'll just have to drown my sorrows by bidding on more cigars. OH WAIT. Crud.
[Reply]

I also need some help. I just spent $80 that I don't have. I need counseling.

you better throw away your cc now, you've been warned!

We should start a cbid support group.... call it CBA. (Can't call it CA for obvious reasons). 12 step our way back into financial sobriety.
[Reply]

Pointless. The hole is too deep!
[Reply]

Same here, although not so much cbid as monster and Famous' sale page. Problem is I keep seeing stuff that would make a good 1hr smoke that I can take to work, while the stuff I REALLY want is either too expensive for daily smokes or takes too long to smoke for me to deal with at work.

Your problems could be worse. :-)

My Only Solution, "Don't Look"!:-)

I feel the same pain. I only smoke 3 to 4 'gars a week, and at the rate I am going (I did a little extrapolating), in three years I will have more cigars than I could smoke if I lived to 100!
[Reply]

It's the sickness brotha it's the SICKNESS!!!

So many great deals and not enough money!

I think i have my cbid madness in check... Now
Viaje's that's whole nother problem!:-)

Ok...I get my 3 day coin today. I've made it for three whole days without bidding or buying any cigars or cigar related product. (I've looked, but looking isn't cheating....right? Right?) Let's see if I can go a whole week. Gonna be tough. I get my latest shipment in on Tuesday. I know I'm gonna be heavily tempted to see what the "latest and greatest" deals are. Any one wanna be my sponsor?
[Reply]

You'll thank me later.

This will Hurt you alot more than it's gonna Hurt me!
