How it works

Your budget for a lot is your price per cigar × the number of cigars. We take off the shipping, then the buyer fee, and what’s left is your max bid.

max bid = (price × cigars − shipping) ÷ (1 + fee %)

Fees and shipping start at the site’s defaults; open “Fees & shipping” to change them for your order.

Bidding tips

Set your max before the last minutes and stick to it. Bids jump near the close.
On multi-unit lots the top bidders each win one unit and everyone pays the lowest winning bid, so bidding your true max rarely costs you more.
Compare per-cigar prices across pack sizes: a 5-pack and a box of 20 can be very different deals.
