TRYING not to lose interest

I hang out with a group of great guys once a week. That's what keeps me afloat. It's actually the highlight of the week. I've had to suspend all cigar purchases for a while since we just paid $1600 in insurance this week! There was a couple of WTS threads I really wanted to get sticks from BUT gotta resist. Since the only B&M in our area is one that I'm, uh, not welcome in, it makes it more difficult holding an interest or a desire for that matter. I refuse to allow myself to be mistreated by a business and it's a principle I'll not waver from.

I'm crossing my fingers for a competitor and am hoping the Cigar Room in Madison, AL decides to open a lounge here. While it's 'on the radar', it seems they've found a location east of them they'd rather develop first.
