I get the catalogue but have never ordered anything from them. I learned a nice trick from Jsprizz and now tear out the pages to use as box filler when I'm sending bombs to others.

No, it isn't that. Like I said, I've never ordered from them. They seem to have some decent prices on samplers and things, but some of the box prices seem a little high. Just my .02
As far as using the pages as packaging materials, it works like a charm.
I got it today too. I've been getting them for a while and they really don't change that much month to month it seems like.
I've ordered from them a few times...They're not bad, some box prices are high but lower on some. They have a pretty high asking price for some, but like the RyJ Cedro 2 they have a better price then other places.

Saul CI would be right up your alley. They have some pretty good prices on 5-Packs . I've used them a few times for 5-packs and one box of Padilla Hybrids. The smokes all arrived in good shape. I just ordered a few 5-packs from them this week myself.

CI (Cigars International) and CBid (Cigar Bid) are the same people. CI is straight up pricing; what you see is what you pay. CBid is a bid format like Ebay. If you don't want to hassle with bidding, go with CI. If you want to try and get a better deal on the same stuff by bidding, go with CBid. I've used both. I like both. I'm pretty much hooked on CBid!
Oh, did I mention the drawback of getting hooked?

have dealt mainly with cbid. they product is almost always excellent. out of probably 30 purchases i had trouble with one, some unraveling wrappers. Cbid took care of it in zero time and were standup about it.
I concur about CigarBid. I haven't had a single cigar from them that came to me in less than perfect condition. Not one. There were some I wanted to try or just bought on a whim that I didn't like very much, but that was a factor of the cigar itself, not CB.

I ordered the cruiserweight cpecial from them (5 Graycliff PGX and 5 Cusano 10's) recently and was extremely happy. - the Graycliff's alone make the price worth it which is why I bought it. The Cusanos are the best from the brand that I've tried as well.
