Ive ran into a problem. I want to buy more sticks but my humi is full. My family still is storing my stuff because im single in the military. My dad told me they dont have room to store a big cooler for my cigar habit.

What should I do? There are stick on the market that i want but i cant get them without the room!?

:c:l:hy:sw

this is how my humi currently looks and my dad just had to figure out how to fit a bundle of tampa sweethearts too.

I don't want to tread too heavily on family matters, but they don't have room for a cooler? Do any of your friends have room?

lol its not like we are on bad terms. Bad economy so my step-sister and her husband(and new born) will be moving back in for some time, they will be in the basement. Im moving home soon(my my thread in gen disc.) and my step-brother still lives there. so... 6 people in a 3 bedroom home, will be kinda space deficient. So I understand why they might not want a 160gt cooler sitting in the house added to all the other cigar related items i currently have.

But i need more humi space still, my little mind is having trouble brainstorming.

pretty much impossible, my dad will add to it, but i dont want to go threw the hassle of explaining which smokes to send me. since my main storage humi is about 800miles away from me.

I have room for whatever size cooler you want and I am somewhat local to you once you move back. I'd be more than happy to store whatever you must buy, with no strings attached of course. Can have stuff shipped directly to me if needed and I'll take good care of them and can ship you what you want when needed:tu

Absoulutely sure. Have a basement full of room that stays around 63-67 degrees year round. Plus it would allow you to buy a bigger cooler. You know you're going to fill an 80 quart pretty quick. Sam's has a 120 or 160 quart for around $70 that would be killer, but way to big for your parents house:D And no sticks needed, just happy to help you out:)

You could also take some of those boxes out of your humi.

If space is a real concern at home, a 32qt Coleman is capable of holding a couple hundred sticks and doesn't take up much room at all. Been using one for years. :2

Ranger_B
01-10-2011, 07:26 PM
Great offer by Steve to help you out that sounds hard to pass on. You get plenty of space and no not have to worry about where to store it. One good size cooler would take up less space than your handfull of cases and humis. Just another thought.

Bill86
01-10-2011, 07:41 PM
Space is always an issue when you get those huge 120-150 quart coolers. I did my first like that, from now on I'll probably buy upright tall vinos. They take up minimal floor space and they are taller for storage. Seems like my next easily viable option.

You gotta buy bigger space, or smoke/bomb more, and hush the trash talk.:tu

01-11-2011, 02:06 PM
I was about to make the same offer as Steve. When I mentioned it in the WTS section, I meant it. I have an 8 bottle vino that is empty right now and some Shilala beads for it. If you work things out with Steve then great. I'll leave you the option of using my little vino. I don't plan on buying much, due to budget constraints, in the next few months. So, you can use it, rent free. Just let me know.

I can order 1 pound + 2 half pounds = 2lbs
but i cant just order 2pounds.

wtf?

fissure
01-13-2011, 06:12 AM
If you want 2 pounds why would you order 2 half pounds? Just order 2 full pounds since they are in bulk anyways and it ends up being cheaper.

thats the point. It says they dont have stock for that... im confused

it says insufficient stock for just ordering 2pounds

fissure
01-13-2011, 08:59 AM
Then I would call them and tell them you want 2 pounds of beads at the 2 pound price. If they have 2 1/2 pound bags in stock then they probably will match the price if they are a decent company. The key is to call, not email.
