On all my winning bids, I get first email notifying me that I won, then I get an invoice. Then I get a email with a tracking number...UPS Ground.

Yeah, I was concerned with WHEN, not IF. I have to be home to snag 'em - complicated.

If you getted it shipped out once a week, then you get it through UPS. I live in Los Angeles so it takes around 1 week to get to me.

Don't worry, soon enough you and your new best friend (The delivery guy) will work out something so that you don't have to go out of your way to be there to accept the packages. See you at the support group (aka herf)

Believe me Blackhorse, it's not that complicated, we understand. LOL Get yourself a debit card and change your delivery preference to your work address. There are many of us nutless wimps patronizing CBID.

take a deep breath. relax. tell your wife you are expecting a package of cigars from ci and would she please open the box, throw away all the packing material and save the boxes and the receipt. tell her to put them on the kitchen or dining room table (if it can't be bought at cost +, it's probably a dining table. if you bought it @ a garage sale it's probably a kitchen tble. ask her to mix a drink or make coffee and sit down with you as you go through all the lovely cigars you bought. explain to her the sophisticated package that the cigars from burma came in. show her why the bad frog's are considered ugly.

you could give her a list of the various countries the leaves, binder, and wrapper come from and ask her to do some web searching to find out more about the different countries. if you have kids, this is a wonderful family learning experience.

on the other hand you could tell her your buddy bob, harry, steve asked you to get them for him because his wife is a nasty bitch and won't let him buy any, so he has to sneak them to you so he can get them without his wife (the "bitch")finding out.

ditto, man I got my butt in deep kimche with a "surreptitious" shipment one time... I thought I was slick. I had about 3 or 4 boxes coming in. I ordered them and had them delivered to work! weee! I thought I was home free. I met the wife (brand new wife) for dinner that night, we drove separate cars. I was taking my stash to see Groucho who was wearhousing them in a spare coolerdoor. Well, long story short, for some reason (oh yeah, here honey, you take my leftovers home with you!), car door opens, WHAT IN THE HELL IS THIS!! “it” hit the fan!!!

We “discussed it” (yes dear, yes dear, yes dear)… And I agreed (grudgingly) not to do this again. The problem was not the cigars (but they were a problem). The problem was “the deception”. We worked it out like this. She agrees that I have an uncontrollable need to have way more cigars than I need. I agree that I have this problem, but don’t feel compelled to stop. She agrees that it is tolerated in the right doses. So I get “an allowance” which I can do with as I please. I can save it and put in a good order, or I can spend it out at the local bar and grille. I split this. Sometimes I party and sometimes I save and herf. It’s a happy medium, she’s happy, and so am I.

You all are Funny - Very, Very, Very - Funny! I don't get this whole thing about deception.

I buy what I want when I want...Looking over shoulder to make sure the wife is not watching.

I am the man of this house and I will dam well do what I please when I please - typing from wireless keyboard in the bathroom with door locked.

If I want to buy say another box of Cubans then I will!! That is with my own credit card which I have the bill sent to the office which happens to be the same place that I have CI ship the cigars too.

Hitting the send key as quickly as possible to avoid detection.

=)

Regards,



B
