Auction?
Sprint Sale? I never did it, but I think it was auction-like.

He ain't wrong.... looks like it's history. Cigar Bid next best option.
@TheCigarChick any insight?
Auction? If you're referring to Sprint Sale, that was removed from the site effective July 1st. (We do still have Daily Cigar Deal, which consists of three deals plus free shipping live for a 24-hour period.) We now have Connoisseur's Corner, which is a variety of higher-end deals per month, which rotate out as they sell out, so there's always at least six deals in the category.
Without getting into any major technical details, the code created many years ago which created Sprint Sale was breaking -- a lot. It was also beginning to jeopardize CIGAR.com as a whole, which not only put the business at risk, but it stood the potential to put customer info at risk, which I do not stand for. Unlike other sites out there, we don't compromise consumer information, nor do we lack cybersecurity. We're continually updating our cybersecurity since hackers seem to love cigars, and those hackers are systematically attacking other sites.
The Daily Deal is pretty good. Sometimes.
