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

So did they get rid of the daily cigar auction?
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.
It's really too bad that the Sprint Sale is gone. It was great for getting amazing cigars like Gurkha, Rocky Patel and Carlos Torano at unbeatable prices! It also encouraged me to try some cigars that I probably would never even have considered before such as La Perla Habana, 5 Vegas, and Cuba Libre to name a few. The new sales are decent, but don't get anywhere close to matching the Sprint Sale. I'll have to see if one of the other vendors has anything similar.

I'm not trying to be that guy, my man. Those are all super budget cigars that you should be able to get dirt cheap anyhow. Check for the daily deal or some of the bid sites that are out there

He ain't wrong.... looks like it's history. Cigar Bid next best option.

The Daily Deal is pretty good. Sometimes.
