Shipping Cigars: Cigarbid.com Vs Cigars.com

[@thejp2269]

Cigarsdaily.com is also great for fast shipping , careful packaging , and great prices . Customer service is #1

[@dunning29]

I use cigarbid exclusively. I set my shipping preference for Tuesday. I get my cigars by Friday. Always well packaged. I’ve been ordering from there over two years now. My savings are usually over 40% (even with shipping costs). I am retired and watch my pennies closer now. Cigarbid screwed up one order in two years, and they promptly resent the correct order within 5 business days. You do need to know the prices of your cigar choices and do the math. I place bids and lose more than I win, but I know what price points are and not overbid.

FYI if they are still in the cello that will help keep humidity up to a week

[@randysouthard9631]

I love cigar bid,always have excellent service and I live in NC.

[@joshuadoty3275]

100% True. Btw Cigar Bid is actually Cigar International (BPA SALES). I Spent $650 on Cigarbid and the box came with everything shoved into one box with a strip of bubble plastic just on top. The box was completely crushed on one side. Of course , Now They Won't Respond to me about 2 of the items that were damaged. SO BEWARE. THEY DONT PACK WELL AND YOU ARE STUCK WITH HOW UPS GUYS TREAT YOUR PACKAGE THAT HAS NO FRAGILE STICKER ON IT.

[@Outdoor.ordnance]

They also steal your money mid charge you and customer service is non existent so unless you have no job and sit at home All day it’s impossible to even get ahold of them

[@timkennedy1192]

I've been happy with Best Cigar Prices in PA. They ship the same day and are careful to pack the order. They do also generally have the best prices

[@Person930]

I checked out best cigar prices as well. They do beat any other prices, but cigar bid does get pretty cheap per stick before shipping with some strategy.

[@CigarsnWhiskey]

It was taking me over a week from a retailer that was 12 hour drive away. How is that.

[@NicholasReguin]

I just got my first shipment in from CBid and I 100% agree. They shipped it as slow as possible (ups ground) without allowing me to pay faster shipping and they shipped the stogies loose in cello and nothing else. I was pretty upset, my new MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured is drier than a fart

[@cigarnewbie6436]

Ouch that sucks. Hopefully it can have a long rest and it'll end up fine.

[@christianmarino7439]

Do you have to sign off on the package or do they just leave it in the mailbox for you? I have a really hectic schedule

[@cigarnewbie6436]

Cigars.com uses USPS which will leave it in your mailbox as long as it fits. Otherwise they'll leave it at your door unless given instructions to do something else. CigarBid.com uses UPS which drops at your door unless given instructions to do something else.

[@bobb8423]

Have you ever looked where they ship from good prices at cigar bid my $400 order cam out of the twin cities, I freeze mine overnight no matter what.

[@keithfarmer4854]

Great info!

[@victorrodriguezsr6081]

May want to check your user account preferences. I have a Tuesday ship. If I win 5 lots in a week they will ship them all in one bundle.

[@cigarnewbie6436]

Mine is also Tuesday. It takes at least 7 days every time without exception. It's a 2,000 mile trip.

[@deputy3690]

Cigarbid cigars are not consistent. I have tossed so many because they are not smokable.

[@havadd]

This is a issue with alot of online companies they don't talk about from what I've observed

[@jasonrawls6959]

If the packing is anything like cigarsinternational, which I've heard owns cigarbid, then its crappy. You'll be lucky if the box is half busted open when you get it.

[@ryancentnarowicz]

Fox cigar has free shipping.

[@theseeker1237]

So true

[@roxane1889]

Are they legitimate or are they fake from the cigars.com and can I legally buy real Cuban cigars from that website and get them delivered to the us

[@timoromeo7663]

Not my experience.

[@yunierperez8987]

I totally understand what you said but a few days or even a week won’t hurt the cigars!!! Im cuban and the weather in cuba is hotter than usa and most of cigars stores don’t have humidors and cigars dont go bad

[@romedeiros70]

Completely correct. We should also not smoke cigars on the day or even week we received them. Let them get to know the humidor, and relax.

[@cigarnewbie6436]

It travels 2,000 miles to reach me and it goes through many different climates. The concern is not just the temperature but the humidity. I live in a desert and the air here is not kind to cigars at all. It gets very much hotter here than it does in Cuba. And there is a huge variation in temp and humidity along the journey. My cigars from cigarbid have to rest at least 3 times longer than the ones I get from cigars.com. I've tested it several times and it's true every time. Such drastic changes in temp and humidity can also trigger beetle eggs to hatch.

[@jeffregis2180]

Sorry but Cuba is not hotter than the US. The hottest place on the planet is in the US. We just had a world record high temperature in Death Valley at 130 F. Also Cuba doesn't need a humidor because the humidity in Cuba is already naturally perfect for cigars. The reason the rest of us need humidors is so we can have conditions similar to Cuba. I can't blame someone for stressing out about it, especially if he lives in the desert.

[@Habaneroranger]

It’s not the heat it’s the humidity. If you live in the western USA it’s very dry not like Cuba at all
