Thread: Make Me an Offer at CI

For the cigar fans, CigarsInternational now have a "Make Me an Offer" section where you can name your own price on selected cigars/humis/merch/etc.

I'd had my eye on the Monster Maduro IV sampler Monster Maduro IV Sampler - Cigars International for a while, and it came up in the MMAO section. Normally it sells for $60. I sent in an offer for $40 last night, which was rejected. Today, I put in an offer for $45, and it was accepted. Add in $5 for shipping, and I think it comes out as a pretty sweet deal. I'm sure if anyone else tried it at $45, it would work as well.

Just wanted to give a heads up.

YOU ROCK! thanks for the heads up on that, I just put in my order and hoepfully it will be accepted.

AHHH My order was "delivered" today but I was not at home to sign for them. And tomorrow morning I'm leaving town at 6 AM. It's already too late to pick them up. How frustrating.

Also, for anyone interested, "Joe's Daily Deal' is 20 Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Rubosto Maduros for $30 with free shipping on your entire order. A fantastic smoke, I'd bite if I didn't just pick up the sampler.

I saw that one today. I tried the make me an offer a few days ago on the Rocky Patel heritage kit. It sells for $150 for 40 cigars, heck of a deal as is. I tried a low ball $100 and was rejected. Did 120 the next day, rejected. So I gave up.

I was up there last Friday for the CI Calendar launch party. If you go the their scrap book you can see the photos. I am in a few of them with some of the models. Awesome evening. I am back in Philly next week, I usually stop by. I came home with 40 cigars that trip.

looks like I missed that one hollli thanks for the heads up though. you guys looking forward to the opus release? also any opinions on the olivia V series?

Very good if you can get them. I like the torpedoes in the V, I have a box of the O’s in robusto maduro in the humi. Nub’s are also made by Oliva, and a good smoke. I like the Cameroon torpedo. The tobacco is a little toothier than the normal Oliva. Despite the short size, they are a good 45 minuet smoke. The La Aurora 1495’s are awesome as well.

I think the Opus is a miracle of marketing. I feel there are many cigars just as good, if not better, for 1/2 the price. However, to each their own. I really like the Oliva V. I have had the Belicoso, which was fantastic, and the Torpedo, which was equally fanstastic. I'm not a fan o fthe Nub, but many people like it (as with the Opus).

I was looking to get a box of the V maduros, but my local shop only had the O's, so I went with those instead. This was a celebratory box, and I wanted them ASAP so I didn't want to order online. I really like the O maduros, but they are a bit pricey.

My "go-to" maduros are Sancho Panza Double Maduros and Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduros.

From my calculations, it looks as if they accept a 25% off offer, not any lower than that.

I wonder if that applies to all items? Has anyone else put in bids that were accepted?
