sit and chat and smoke what you have. go directly to the board, don't stop to check out cigars until you are almost out.

This board needs more smartassed posts, not fewer. Stay in here and do your duty like the rest of us. You can stay in action by bidding a dollar on every Padron 5-pack, with an autobid only to $100. That way you will always be outbid. All the thrills of the hunt with none of the expense.

In the last week I posted 3 bids which I thought were ridiculously low. I won all 3! Just goes to show, when you don't care about winning, you win! I agree with Rick, go directly to the forum. Do not look at the auctions!

I agree with the "I don't care about winning" idea and it works! 1. They will always put the same item back up for bid. 2. Put what you are willing to pay and no more! 3. Don't be so damn competitive that you are insulted when topped and you just got to outdo that bidder! I won a bundle of Indian Tabacs for over 50% below the CI catalog price, sure beats "winning" the La Luna LHB offering that I paid 2 bucks more than CI price before I decided to let them go! Chin up and have fun and if you overbid, I am all for you guys and gals that do, because that keeps the CB offerings coming! Charlie

decasere: Don't be depressed. Your credit card will start working again. I found two easy -- and cheap fixes -- get a new card. I don't know about your mailbox but weekly there's a free, low-rate card offer complete with blank checks in mine. I stash them away until I have an "embarassing moment" in front of the high school girl at the local bread and milk. I really pissed the price of stamps is going up. The other fix is to wrap your card in a black, plastic garbage bag. Some people suggest dropping them into an ice cube tray and freezing them. But I could still read the numbers. The plastic bag works lots better. It helps to practice awhile on elevator buttons to develop a more senstive feel. Nine times out of ten I can braille someone's else's number. Of course, it took a few weeks before I stopped automatically call out mine.

mhollowa : "an "embarassing moment" in front of the high school girl at the local bread and milk." i would and i'll bet some others would, like to know what happened between you and this high school girl that caused an embarassing moment. don't tell us it was a credit card rejection. anyone that uses pseudonym does not get embarrassed over a lousy credit card. did they catch you on tape? is it going to be for sale on a tape "the cigar rascal and the high school girl" (all models are over 18)
