Senator Shelby: "How does one man indebt himself for that amount of money?"

Kreth: "Well, sir, I lay the blame squarely on the membership of the Cigar Asylum internet forum. You see, I was perfectly happy smoking the occasional cigar, and was planning to pick up a small humidor to keep my smokes nice and fresh. But nooooooo! 'Go bigger!' they said. 'Stay away from cigarbid.com," they said. 'You'd better be really careful so you don't wind up addicted to cigarbid.com.' And the worst part is, they would put a link right in the post, so I all had to do was click it. Sure it started small, a box of cigars here, a humidor upgrade there. Next thing you know, I cashed in my life insurance to buy a rental property and converted it into a walk-in humidor. 50,000 cigars, all at my fingertips. They're enablers, the whole lot of them."
"And now I've got that cigar monkey so bad [sobbing] some days, I'll smoke a Swisher Sweet so I don't have to throw off the RH in my apartmentdor. Do you have any idea what 2500 pounds of beads costs these days?!"

Senator Gillibrand: "Let's take a recess so Mr. Kreth can compose himself."

:r That would be Mr. SOB to you and there are plenty of 20 count burl humis on there. I paid $9 for mine,,,can you stand it? It's perfect for the garage. You'll have to tell me what your initials are on there so I know not to bid against you,,,it's the least I can do for a fellow Devil Worshipper.

LOL, I'm JV from Oneonta, NY. Usually when I bid I wait until the auction is almost over and snipe it, same as I do on the Bay. But I may be taking advantage of this in the near future.

That's certainly doable, but I have to take a short break to keep peace with the wife, at least until I get paid again... :r



To be honest, it's not gonna happen for me right away. But I think when I'm ready to upgrade I'll go straight to a Vino.

Gotta love cbid/CI. I received an e-mail this morning that my order (which I won Monday night) has shipped. When I check the tracking, it's already out for local delivery. Unfortunately, I woke up this morning feeling like I've been gargling drano, so no smokes for Jeff today.
