I support holidays!

gnukfu · 11-10-2009, 06:27 PM

What is this holiday you speak of?

Chemyst · 11-10-2009, 07:50 PM

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.

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.

Yeah! Why can't I be satisfied with what I already have???

I really would like some insight on these questions. It's important, they're the little things.

Just got a box. Darrell, stay strong! You must not waiver!

CLick on the clear cart or the little "x" next to the item Darrell! You can do it! If you do you'll be one up on me for the day.

Now walk away and smoke an Argonaut for your efforts.

bonjing · 11-11-2009, 01:53 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

so did you "accidentally" hit submit order button?

Skywalker · 11-11-2009, 05:26 PM

Now there is another deal!!!

I want them!!!

Help!!!

cbsmokin · 11-11-2009, 05:35 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, 05:42 PM

I blew it!!!

I got a great deal!!!

But I blew it...

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.

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