I need help, if I'm not careful I'll be calling up Ditech before too long

but seriously, it's killing me not to be spending, but I simply don't have cash. and unlike last year, the wife and I are trying to be responsible, which sucks btw.

I'm with you there. I sold some samplers to pick up a few things, but as far as the rest of my $$$$, it's all going toward presents.

Christmas? Bah!!! Restraint is for people who don't smoke cigars. What I need is more cigars. And maybe a bigger humidor. Embrace your OCD!

Do as I do.

Just tell yourself to be happy with what you got. And that the prices are absurd.... (I know.. I know.. I just tell myself this to keep from buying....) And do not for whatever reason look at the deal or the devil sites.

I haven't bought a single cigar since May.

Saving my money for our wedding (Next July...

).... and all I gotta say is she better damn well appreciate it.. cus I'm going insane.

It's gets harder and harder to sit on the sidelines when the prices keep getting more and more attractive. Although I plan on spending the money on presents, I might have to pull the trigger on some sticks if there's something I can't pass up.

You two are insane!!!

I need help too. After I swore not to spend anymore before Christmas, I ordered a bundle from Vegas de Santiago, then went in for a box of Diablo Picantes.

I would also be going in on some CC box splits but others had more sense and decided to wait until after Christmas.

I NEED HELP!!!

Is it bad that I just bought $100 worth of samplers from CI and had them sent to my work so I can bring them home and sneak them into the coolidor without the wife knowing?

Crazy? Hell...I do that just so my mailman won't think I'm crazy! He always makes a comment when another box from PA shows up, because he knows he's gonna get a stick or two from time to time. I can't imagine having a wife and trying to hide from her as well...it's hard enough on my own!
