America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

How did you get by security?
HA!
Good to see ya.

I ordered some Isabela SkyFalls yesterday. Broke my Fuente-only month.

friggin cat... lose track of it and be damned what it drags in here...

hello Paul, good to see you! I'm still using that Work of Art ashtray you made and auctioned off in 2015...it's been moved to the Man Cave, out of the harsh elements.

And start over. Grabbed some cloud hoppers in romusto for 3.50 a pop

Got em here on cbid. They have good stuff sometimes

Did they finally ship or didja request a refund?

DED and I knew they would come through!

I checked it out and although they had Mags on sale, no R44s.

But looking at their frequency of sales and them offering 20% off storewide every once in awhile (…and Fuentes are eligible…), I’mma gonna roll the dice and wait for a sale AND the 20% off. I know it’s a big gamble but after getting my last box, a few weeks later they offered the 20% AND the sale price was still good. So I coulda gotten an even lower price! Was super, super tempted to take the plunge and get another box but thought better of it. Obviously in 20/15 hindsight, that was not a smart move! Non-buyer’s remorse to da max!

What place we talking @palama??

I’mma thinkin’ that Dkeage is thinkin” “Quit franking bragging you franker!”

He might be even thinkin’ “Why dontcha do something constructive and go look for CROS!” 👀 🦼

I’mma sure that’s kinda what Tony kept telling himself until Bilbo (DED) found the missing link in the armor (Nicaraguan Cream Robustos).

Took a rough inventory - 1164 total cigars now with 182 more coming tomorrow for a total of 1346. Didn't go by brand, but I may look again to see just how many triple maddies I actually have. Still plan on adding more if and when the price is right.

edited to add 30 cigars I missed counting.

Day 1.

I was doing pretty well, but smoked an Aging Room Solera Sungrown last night and noticed that I'm already halfway through the box. I figured I would check prices, and when I get down to a 5ver, start looking for sales.

Then I saw that the Sungrown have been discontinued. A lot of places are out, some places still have them. A competitor had a 25% discount if I signed up for the emails (that's a sale, right?), so I bought a box of cigars even though I didn't really want to buy any right now.

Actually, I bought two since the 25% off was only good for that one order. Bought some of the corojo too.

Day 1.

I'm a little more than 9 months into the IR...dipping my toes into the water to scout for some initial buys to restock...

Holy Schitt!!! is it my imagination or has the prices of cigars gotten outrageous since April of last year???

Well. This is papas fault. Grabbed the lonsdales…. Reset.

Went a very very long time without buying. Occasionally topped off my daily drivers but that was it for several years. Back in 15 I spent thousands and had a "lifetime" of cigars on hand. I said I'd smoke through all of them and once I was out, that was it. Then when I could start seeing the bottom of the pelican case I said when I get down to my desktop I'll just keep that and that's it.

We all know how that goes/went.

I've received 3 orders this year already and there's 2 in the air. Spent too much, got a lot less than I did back in '15, but this was a more calculated mass purchase than back then so I should like everything I bought, even the boxes I ordered of cigars I've never had before. If not, I'll be looking for bus drivers.

Technically I've gone 3 days without an order. But I have some open bids at the other place so I may or may not be buying more tomorrow at noon.

Yup. They got me for 3 boxes with this sale. Would've been 4 but I was going back and forth on whether or not I wanted 4 and in the meantime they sold out of the corona size on box 4.

And then it ended when I bought a couple of 5ers from a brother from the brotherly site.

I leave my bands on till the cherry gets close. Seems to lighten the glue up enough to pop em right off. Chinchalle is a darn good smoke

Bout 50/50 with easy off and peeling the band. Worth the effort.

I’ve been buying a lot since first week of November. I bought a couple of those acrylic humidor jars and a 100 stick Old Glory humidor and I’ve got an old glass top desk style humidor. I use those to rotate my sticks into my daily smokes with the smaller glass top humidor being my “smoke box”. I’ve got a heavy duty plastic suit box or coat box with snappy closures on both ends. It is now stuffed with approximately 300 cigars and I’ve got about a hundred more paid for and in the pipeline. The coat box has wheels and it rolls easily under my bed. I don’t have room for the smokes that are in the mail and I will figure out something. I’ve had to buy several hygrometers and Boveda bags and cedar paper “fines” to get everything working. So far so good. Now I’m in a position to let some of these babies age a little and I don’t plan to spend anymore $$$ on cigars or storage. I’m a couple grand in since November but I’ve been buying different brands and vitolas and keeping a log of what I like and most importantly…what I DON’T like.
Wish me luck, fellas.

Thank you, Jake. I’ll check it out
Edit: just ordered one

Although it may not completely stop you, you can probably slow yourself down by NOT buying more storage space!


Remember LeeBot's 3d Axiom - The number of cigars you own will expand to fill the storage space allotted to them.

I have bought Tupperware and coolers and on and on. Each one was the extra bit of space I needed to comfortably store what I had and maybe have a small amount of leftover space for extra growth. It fills up, so then another one. And on and on ...

whatta lite weight...two grand since November??? That's it???

It's gonna be close to $2K a month soon, as your palate evolves and craves $10 smokes, then $15, then $20+...

and then that beautiful end table humidor that has a 1,500 cigar capacity will catch your eye...all that space...

Lord help you...and hope your wife/significant other is tolerant...
