I'm thinking of trying to get a new torch lighter from there, I managed to get a cheaper one but it really hurt my thumb to use it and didn't put out enough flame, and my old one is apparently broken forever according to the guy who took it apart to see what was wrong with it. So yeah.. suggestions on what to get and when to get it?

That's referred to as "sniping", and is frowned upon by many FOGs and vets. Just say'n.
Cbid doesn't like the color of my money. Seems they get p*ssed off when you question their "less then ethical" marketing practices. Their loss, not mine. Ever since I'm been banned, I find I'm smoking better cigars for about the same price.

Frowned upon? Bidding is a game/skill. I see nothing wrong with it. Only ones who should get upset are the ones who lost the auction lol

I've picked up a few lighters over time on Cbid. I originally bought some colibris but found that they weren't as durable as I would like. Later on I bought some bugattis and have been VERY happy with them. If you watch it you can usually get them in the 15-$20 range. I picked up this one for $13 and it has become my everyday lighter. Excellent quality.
I've been using the same lighter for about a year. . It's awesome. Did just win a Colibri on cbid to try. .. actually bid too high without paying aTtention and won it by mistake. . But I only have the one torch so why not a second?

Same here, got the bugatti with a herf-a-dor combo. Super cheap!
Nice lighter. Has some heft. Only thing I miss on it is the adjustment wheel...
Oh, believe me, I've done my share of sniping. Over the past 4 - 5 years, I've met and herfed with 40 to 50 current and former Cbid board members. Some of old timers get very upset with snipers, as if it's breaking some kind of code of honor. But as I said before, I've sniped, and don't have a problem with those who do it to me.
If I recognize a name, I usually won't bid at all. A few months ago, one of my CBid buds had a $60 bid holding on a bundle of Bait Fish on CA. As tempted as I was, I had to let it go, and he won them for the $60. I got my reward that following week, when I won a bundle for $61.
So that's actually my old lighter, it never seemed to be able to hold much and the flame wasn't ever that strong. When the guy took it apart he said that it was far more complex than any other lighter he'd looked at but that it also would have to be broken in order for it to be fixed and so he couldn't do anything without the proper tools to break it.I've been using the same lighter for about a year. .

The bugatti b1? Interesting. . I would agree that it doesn't seem to hold much... But I barely get time to light up so it works great for me. I refill after every cigar. I really want something with a Window to see the fuel level I think.So that's actually my old lighter, it never seemed to be able to hold much and the flame wasn't ever that strong.

You too!!! I feel like no one was watching the auctions and i cleaned house. Lots of bids i won were setting new "lowest price" on the Chrome EXT/plugin thing. I bid a bunch thinking id only win some, but i won them ALL!!!!
Ya!!! I didn't lose a single auction. I was losing my mind! I had 50-75% off MSRP on every item.
I need ALOT more Tupperware now....
