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.

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???

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.

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

I'm with you.

I promised myself over the summer to cease cigar purchases,
so I can get a box of Hemingway maduros at Xmas. But, alas,
it hasn't worked... Oliva Vs, PAMs, Graycliffs, San Cristobals,
and other deals "too good to pass up", sunk my self discipline.
Now I might not even be able to get my usual Xmas fare from
Fuente.

Maybe my New Year resolution should be to smoke down what
I already have, in 2010. That would save a bundle of cash.

Stay off of the internet, particularly cigar sites. It helps.

You have been no help at all!!!

Join Bob and Andrew you negative Nelly!!!

neoflex · 11-11-2009, 07:16 PM

I have been pretty good the last year although I can't really say it was self control that kept me in check. It has been more the fact that I have been working too much lately to find time to smoke through what I have currently which leaves little to no room in my cabinet. This past month I did make two box purchases(Boris and Cain Habano) which after a little Tetris I managed to make room. I am at full capacity now but the scary thing is I am re-seasoning another humidor that I pulled out of service last year. Figured it's winter time which is when I try to do most of my buying so I may be off the wagon here soon.

TripleF · 11-11-2009, 07:47 PM

This ain't gonna work.....there's no help for you or any of us in sight. I'd throw you a rope but........

How is everyone else doing???

11-10-2009, 05:13 PM

I support holidays!

gnukfu · 11-10-2009, 05:27 PM

What is this holiday you speak of?

bonjing · 11-11-2009, 12:53 PM

my usual way to help me not by anything is put everything I want to order in the shopping cart then I ask, "babe, does this look ok to you?" I then usually get the "really?" look or the "go ahead I dare you" response

cbsmokin · 11-11-2009, 04:35 PM

Saving? We can't be saving right now. We have to use our credit cards to keep all of the failing banks in business. Yeah, that's it.

Skywalker · 11-11-2009, 04:42 PM

I blew it!!!

I got a great deal!!!

But I blew it...

I still support holidays!

Skywalker · 11-16-2009, 12:03 PM

Other than a twelve dollar purchase, I have done well since starting this post.

I am really going to need help in the weeks to come as I am trying to pay off a credit card.

I paid off and cancelled three credit cards in the past few months!!!
