Holiday Support Group

I am sure that many of you, like me, have trouble saving money because it goes to cigars each day, week, or month! I need help to stay strong and save money for presents for my loved ones this holiday season!

I have not made a cigar purchase in three days. I hope I can stay strong for six more weeks!!!

Who will lend their support or stand with me???

bonjing · 11-10-2009, 01:44 PM

I heard there was a sale for some arganese at famous.

J/k

but seriously, i know there is a sale going on somwhere

JE3146 · 11-10-2009, 01:45 PM

this is easy...

Try doing it for 11 months

Suck it up man, you can make it 6 weeks

Blindjimme · 11-10-2009, 01:51 PM

It's too late today, but I can start tomorrow! Maybe..

I am with you MOBD.

Right after I buy a few more boxes.

OK, not really. I'm saving as well. The kids are getting a Wii.

My Partagas 8-9-8's will have to wait until that is bought.

massphatness · 11-10-2009, 02:00 PM

What is this saving thing you speak of?

kelmac07 · 11-10-2009, 02:06 PM

I feel your pain Darrell!! I hear those sticks calling my name.

This thread is for quiters!

I would offer support D, but as you know I am not the best person to use as an example.

Bax · 11-10-2009, 02:42 PM

Remember your 12 step program. Keep you credit card 12 steps away so you have at least 3 seconds to talk yourself out of hitting "submit order"!

Hide this from the retailers otherwise it would be like a rep from jack daniel's walking into an AA meeting.

sikk50 · 11-10-2009, 03:40 PM

I do not support you Darrell, not one bit

I like this method!!! Way better than thawing blocks of ice!!!

11-10-2009, 04:18 PM

I need to do the same as you. But what about when we walk into B&M's? Do trades count? PIF's? With all of these there are cost's too. Ship twenty times and you're looking at an average of $100 or so. Let us ponder these questions and make an attack plan.(Or a defense plan actually.)

That's the good thing about having no money - I don't have to worry about spending it. Poverty is its own reward - hell, it almost HAS to be!

Ashcan Bill · 11-10-2009, 04:43 PM

I realize you're right, and stand behind you all the way. I haven't placed an order in 24 hours now. I'll refrain from any more senseless spending on myself. I need to save for a present for the wife. I'll be strong!

Now, if I can just figure out which cigars a non-smoker like herself might like as an introduction to this fine hobby............

duckmanco · 11-10-2009, 04:49 PM

I'm there with you, I'm done buying, and for a while. I have ENTIRELY way too many cigars, so many that I'm at the point of worrying that some of my stuff will age too long. Last date I bought a cigar (happened to be a box)

10/3/09 - box of La Herencia Cubana Robusto from CBID for stupid cheap.

Thats it, I'm done, and totally tired of chasing the next great cigar.... for at least a few............. months.

You CAN do it Darrell. No purchases for me in 11 weeks! And I have to make it to the end of the year also.

poriggity · 11-10-2009, 05:04 PM

You can do it! No purchases for me for 2 days, although I think I need to buy more
