I also know of a guy who got a box of RP OWR (the BIG box) because they had a big sale and tried smoking a couple. They were all off or plugged. He returned them, no problem from ci. We then spoke to a rep from RP. The rep said RP was aware of ci's big sale, made them pull the sale because those boxes were actually re-banded 2nds. I stay away from ci and cbid.

On top of that I have heard of very questionable bands on some of their cigars. I thought someone posted the story about the fake DPG blue labels from cbid on here if I remember correctly. Pretty much someone got a bundle of like 20 DPG blue labels and all of the bands were a much different shade blue than ones he had in a box. Also the label was a little of. SO I am staying away from them now.
Anyone use famous' auction site?
