Interesting, especially since I know a lot of us...strike that....all of us order from cbid, which is a CI site.
I have personally never had any issues with cigars I have ordered from CI or cbid. |

The flag WAS raised...people spoke...at first there was resistance but after more than just one or two called foul...CI stepped up. At least that's what I remember....Tarkington..., was your experience the same? And...I also had some issues in the past...orders of mine either damaged, infested or wrong but in my experience, once CI was made aware, they owned it and made it right. This is why I still order from them. Echo |

I never contacted them about the sticks I bought. Heard a lot on other boards about fake opus from there, next thing you know all fuente stuff was gone from cbid. It's back now, saw some opus on there recently. eta: just watched the video, most of the cheapest cigars you probably get what you pay for. I hadn't even heard of Los Blanco he did say they were advertised as long filler, but full of trash. What I bought were opus maduros. |

I've ordered roughly 20 times from CI and I've only had a problem with FedEx, UPS or USPS.
They've never fucked my order up or sent me anything wrong. |

So, is the fake cigar problem corrected or is there still an issue?

Interesting comments on the video. Apparently that cigar is sold by CI for only $1.63... You get what you pay for?

Have you looked at the other videos that guy posted???
In my opinion, he's a tool. It was an UBER-cheap cigar he bitched about. The issue I was referring to was the Opus problem. It stated with the caps not looking right and then some were falling apart. That can happen with over-humidified cigars and the buyers were buying that until some guy that bought a WHOLE BOX cried foul...very loudly as I would have done. Tarkington was right...they pulled the whole line out of inventory, cleared out the website and made factory inquiries. Now I am not an insider but it must have been intense....and I got this from a couple of other forums I dance in so if it's all BS, call me on it am I will make a formal Mea Culpa! I am certain that our member could get more information but in the end, it was resolved. |

I try to limit my buying from cbid to a min. Mainly because I find myself saying spending way more than I planned upon signing in. That buy now button gets me every time.

I wish I could drop 800 in cigars/pipe stuff. I think the most I've spent is 200 for about 80 sticks from CI.

I think $250 is the most that I ever dropped at once with CI/Cbidebbil...
80 601 Blues at at time sounds about right |
