Im insane.

biggbob · 10-05-2010, 12:45 PM

I have 3 (yes THREE) separate cigar orders inbound right now. That is the most open orders I have ever had.

Today I should get Perdomo Lot 23 Church (20)
Thursday I should get torano 1959 silver piramide (25)
Monday i should get RyJ Duke EL09(10)

I feel like a boy before Xmas combined with a ferret trying to dig a spider out from under a carpet combined with a old lady with poison oak trying to sit still in church.

Please console me!!

Yea, I thought I had that whole self control thing conquered and than all these new lines and sticks keep coming out. I also know I have been going a little crazy lately knowing the baby will be here in a couple months and at that point I am sure my cigar budget will be nil and my purchases will come to a screeching halt but you bet your sweet @sses I will have some good smokes tucked away to smoke until I am back in the buying saddle again. I tend to go through cycles anyway where I buy a bunch and than don't buy anything but a few singles here and there for a few months. It usually works that I stock up in the winter and take the summer off from buying but that just never happened this summer even with my best efforts to curb my purchases. Just too much good stuff to be had this summer.

I love those Dukes!

Bill86 · 10-05-2010, 01:37 PM

I hit the B&M 2-3 times a week... All my $$$$ goes to the liquor store, bars and cigars. Literally my last 3 paychecks I gotta stop.

pektel · 10-05-2010, 01:48 PM

I have bills/kids/mortgage. No bars/B&M for me. Way cheaper to order stogs online and drink at home

markem · 10-05-2010, 01:53 PM

wait until you have had multiple orders of multiple boxes sitting in customs for over a month. You will look back on this as low stress times.

I have 2 of the 3 and now have a hold on my cigar purchases... but I have enough if I smoked 1/day I could smoke for about 3 years....

pektel · 10-05-2010, 02:05 PM

My current stash would last about 3 months lol.

and that's why I'm on a holding pattern and not a certain monthly allowance! I ran through my allotted play money quickly, but I had fun doing it

I bet! And I bet digging through that humidor is more fun than digging through mine.

Oh the "new" humidor was part of blowing my budget

I ended up with a Verona Cabinet Humidor..... sooo pretty, it is living in the dining room right now!

it isnt a problem until you start getting orders in you forgot you made. I used to get a bomb from myself once in awhile this way before I learned a little self control

That's awesome.

But what's this "self control" you speak of?

biggbob · 10-05-2010, 02:27 PM

OMIGOSH I did bomb myself once..... I accidentally went to cigar auctions while drunk on Grey Goose.

Accidentally bought 2 boxes, 2 samplers, 4 5-packs, a bottle of PG, a digi hygrometer and a lighter.

I could have sworn that i was bidding low.

I guess (auction + GreyGoose) != (MathSkill)
