I recently went to make me an offer in hopes of buying some cigars. I know it's owned by Cigars International. I looked at their prices on CI and then I went to MMAO and  placed my bid $5 below their listed price. On all three occasions they were all rejected.  Hi then went to accepting low bids.  I place my bed $4 below their suggested retail price. All were rejected. that's a joke I'll stick with CigsrBid.
Anyone have similar experience?
I got way too many cigars, too much booze, not many friends. Life is GRAND.

Yep, never seen an offer accepted, been a long time since I've ordered anything from CI.

I've made a few offers and none of them were accepted.  I agree that it doesn't seem to make much sense.  I've noticed that for many of their items you can get them for quite a bit less than their regular asking price on cbid.  Also, while it's not a huge selection, keep an eye on Cigar-Fu and Joe Cigar.  Often great deals on there.

Did obtain one item off them and it was a lighter other than that all cigar bids were rejected

Seems like a crazy system. Has anybody saved enough to make it worth not just going to Famous and getting what you want ?  I don't know enough about those places and have always just went to one reliable online seller.

So with the recent free shipping offer on this I gave it another try.  I went to the low offers section figuring that's the only place I stand a chance to get a worthwhile deal.  I found 5 packs of LGC Serie N there so I took a shot with buying 2 5 packs @$15 each.  Rejection came back saying I was cold.  I was bored so I thumbed through their entire offerings and found a 10 pack of the same cigar, not in the low offers section.  For kicks i offered $30...offer accepted! :lmao:
