Seeking counselor
 

Wow... I have issues. If anybody knows of a good addiction counselor, please forward their contact info!!

Ok, I was home with a sick kid yesterday, and there wasn't much to do other than plan on CA and look at cigars. Unfortunately, my wife didn't take my wallet with her because I started bidding and WINNING cigar lots. Seriously, I might be grounded because I just doubled my cigar inventory.

Padilla Achilles Salomon - 10 Cigars
5 Vegas Gold Maduro Toro - 5 Cigars
Gran Habano Blend #3 Gran Robusto - Box of 20

Sounds like the start of a major problem Nick. :D It's a slippery slope...and the fall is even worse. :D

Re: Seeking counselor
 

:r

The first part to recovery is admitting you have a problem... and some Inmates aren't at that point! lol

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Re: Seeking counselor
 

I don't have a problem. Yesterday I got home from work and then the next thing I know I am staring at a NHC order confirmation for three 5ers. I think I blacked out.......

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Hahah I stared at NHC's website with those amazing looking surrogates in my shopping cart for like an hour. I was good and didn't pull the trigger...

...yet.


You know what is funny?
I get in trouble with the wife if I spend money on cigars right now becasue things are tight but when I tell her I almost did but maintained a level head I don't get rewarded! It's a lose/lose situation. If I just buy them it is win/lose becasue she becomes mad but I get the cigars. So how am I supposed to function?

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Da Klugs is an excellent counselor!

This reminds me, I'm down to just one of these....

*scurries off laughing with credit card in hand*

I could quit whenever I want to! I just don't want to :) :r

Re: Seeking counselor
 

The first step is to admit you have a problem. Now its time for treatment.
The second step is to separate yourself from the issue. So send me all your cigars.
The third step is to prevent yourself from buying more. So send me your Credit Cards.
The fourth step??? Who cares, I got your cigars and credit card.

GOOD LUCK BROTHER!!!!

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Hell Nick, I'm going to need a 2nd job just so I can have my own $.

Re: Seeking counselor
 

You wouldn't want a counselor from this group...I'm sure someone here has already corrupted them too....hang on tightly as this roller coaster only picks up speed

Re: Seeking counselor
 

I would like to tell you that I have sympathy for your problem.



....



But I don't.......:P

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Oh...I've got a problem alright! I even stopped by my B&M store today just to buy some empty boxes for my coolidor project. I couldn't help myself...I had to pick up a couple of sticks while I was there! HELP ME!


LOL... Does that mean that I just enabled you further into your addiction?

Re: Seeking counselor
 

No clown in this group is gonna help you out..... They will only make things worse...... Just hold on and enjoy the ride :D hahahaha

Re: Seeking counselor
 

All you people say is I have a problem...the real problem is the wife who keeps the cigar budget next to non-existent. I fixed that problem in my life and now I don't spend money on women anymore...just cigars :D




No offense to those who are happily married. :)

Re: Seeking counselor
 

nice travel humidor :tu

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Wow... I guess that it's all relative, huh? :r

Re: Seeking counselor
 

:r:r:r That cooler belongs to one of our Herf buddies, Richard (tzaddi)!

BTW, Bob, was that photo taken at my house or yours?

Re: Seeking counselor
 

First Chico herf. That's Richard's traveldor! :banger

Re: Seeking counselor
 

I'm half expecting to see someone 1up you there with a cedar lined trunk :r

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Seriously? That's what you/he brought to a herf? Now I realize how much of an amateur I really am! I'm in waaaaay over my head... :jd

Re: Seeking counselor
 

:r:r:r

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Re: Seeking counselor
 

No not mine. Our friend Richard(tzaddi) brought the cigars and his pipes, espresso maker with portable stove, rum and I'm sure a few other goodies. I did not mean to imply you were an amateur, only to show that this "hobby" knows no bounds. :tu

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Gosh Dang It, that imbedded link took me strait to the devil site itself!! Now I am stuck looking at auctions closing today..............must stop myself from logging in and hitting BID

Re: Seeking counselor
 

I just signed up for the devil site :sl

Re: Seeking counselor
 

BAHAHAHAHA you are effed

Re: Seeking counselor
 

:sl And so it begins.

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Simma down brothers, simma down....for see I have to have $ to start bids...this is just to get me prepared.

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Credit card companies are going to love you!

Re: Seeking counselor
 

LOL... How did you know that it was Cbid? It seems pretty innocent at first until you start bidding and winning stuff! "Oh...that's a great deal! I think that I'll bid on that!"

I am so screwed... :<

Re: Seeking counselor
 

I don't have a problem. I order some, smoke them and order more. No problem.

Re: Seeking counselor
 

:hy:hy

I should get a commission from the devil site for my last post. :lr

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Nick,
Been there and done that brother...when I first got back into cigars in '07 someone on the old site "Club Stogie" introduced me to the devil site. I had 2 Vino temps, a 300 ct humi, a 150 ct humi, a 75 ct, a 40 qt cool-idor, and a 120 qt cool-idor.......ALL full......The only thing that saved me was........well I guess nothing saved me.
:banger:noon:<:bhd:bhd

I miss the dancing chicken.

Re: Seeking counselor
 

If I have available funds, nine times out of ten they get spent on cigars. If I don't I have a firm rule that I can only charge one box at a time; I can't charge another until I've payed off the first box. Given the price of cigars and the eternal urge to buy, amassing unwieldy credit card debt is all too possible for lovers of the leaf.

Re: Seeking counselor
 

That's the way to do it mike, + keep that credit score up as well :tu

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Just posting pics of the purchase that started this thread!

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Yea Nick, I see years of expensive therapy in your future. So take a stick and a drink and start your "THERAPY"!!!!

Re: Seeking counselor
 

I see "enablers" here, not counselors! :lr


Will do!

Re: Seeking counselor
 

Well Nick you were an inadvertent "enabler" by coming on and asking for "counseling"---HA ! ! !---Like you're really gonna get that here.

This is my damage since you started your little story.

La Aurora 2nds Bristol Especiale (15) -- 2
5 Vegas Relic Perfecto - 10 Cigars -- 1
Rubberized Punch Cutter - 2-Pak -- 1
Havana Classico Pequeno(5) -- 2 Actually these are not a bad smoke-long filler and ugly as sin, but good flavor.
Oliva Serie 'G' Special G (48) -- Box



Thanks for the help! :bhd :lr
