Holiday Support Group

[Skywalker]

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]

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



J/k:D

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

[JE3146]

:r this is easy...

Try doing it for 11 months ;)

Suck it up man, you can make it 6 weeks :D

[Blindjimme]

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

[Darrell]

I am with you MOBD.

Right after I buy a few more boxes. :r

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. :sad

[massphatness]

What is this saving thing you speak of?

[kelmac07]

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

[The EVP]

This thread is for quiters! :)

[bobarian]

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

[Bax]

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"!:D

[cigarmonkel]

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

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

[sikk50]

I do not support you Darrell, not one bit

You are the reason I'm in this mess!!!:td:r

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

[mariogolbee]

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.)

[The Poet]

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]

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]

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]

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

[BC-Axeman]

I support holidays!

[gnukfu]

What is this holiday you speak of?

[Chemyst]

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.

Chemyst :cool2:

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!

[mariogolbee]

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.

Thanks Bro!!!

I clicked the little x... now what happens???:confused:

[mariogolbee]

Now walk away and smoke an Argonaut for your efforts.:tu

[bonjing]

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 :( :r

[Skywalker]

Now walk away and smoke an Argonaut for your efforts.:tu

Very good!!! I should have hit the little x more often!!!:r

[bonjing]

Very good!!! I should have hit the little x more often!!!:r

so did you "accidentally" hit submit order button? :r ;s

[Skywalker]

Now there is another deal!!!

I want them!!!:(

Help!!!

[cbsmokin]

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]

I blew it!!!

I got a great deal!!!

But I blew it...:(

[JE3146]

You're weak....


:td

I must have the willpower of a Saint...

3 days is nothing

[neoflex]

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.:r

[TripleF]

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

[Skywalker]

You can't afford a rope???

You smoked the rope???

What???

[Skywalker]

Mario blew it today!!!:(

How is everyone else doing???

[BC-Axeman]

I still support holidays!

[Skywalker]

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!!!:tu
