Yeah you fight the good fight, but somehow you get a small **** in your armor. Something exploits the **** and a small wound turns into a bloody gash and you just start bleeding out.

Danm turned me on to a couple buys this weekend, but I had already been wounded (self inflicted) and at that point there wasn't much left to stop me so I kept going. 2 boxes a bundle and probably 35 in five and dimes After this weekend I look like this guy

Nice job Delta! I need to do that for a while. Yesterday I had to combine a couple boxes to fit a couple new boxes. Every time I add storage it fills completely.

Exactly. That's why I am holding the line on the storage I have. I've got cigars in a drawar, but I'm NOT buying another storage box. It will just fill up.

I am hoping to retire the four snap lid tupperdors, which held a max of 100 cigars each, which I put away.

That leaves me with two more of those, that are half full now. Also a large 6 snap storage bin that has a 15-20 box capacity that is also half full. I've got room for a few boxes in the bottom of my end table humidor, along with several trays in there that are less than half full.

I was planning to take my time and fill the voids...but somebody said "go big or go home"...

gonna haveta reinforce and expand the porch...Gonz

It stopped making sense to delay cigar purchases.
At the minimum, I smoke $1,000 worth of cigars each month - but typically $1,200 worth. That's about $40 worth of cigars being smoked everyday. It's a pricy hobby. If we wish to maintain our hobby, it's going to cost us. I am confident it is worth every dime spent.
The only conflicts I've encountered are the times when I have to decide between buying cigars or buying ammo.
Cheers!

I did, I did, I did. Herfing

Not a whole lot but it was the last time I ordered from them. After the Hawaii law went into effect in July regarding out-of-state tobacco sales, they no longer ship here. But I’ve still been able to get some HTF stuff from smaller retailers that either don’t know about or disregard the law.

^^ reload your own and buy more cigars. Though I’m not sure it’s cost effective to reload these days

That might be worth it for those who enjoy the reloading hobby. Personally, I'd rather spend a few extra dollars and dedicate my time to other activities. However, I've never tried reloading so I may be missing out.

Yeehoo! Big time SAT / ACT word! Love

But I’mma glad there are Braddahs out there that are willing to help a Braddah out. I dunno when, I dunno for what, heck, I dunno if it’s ever gonna come to pass but fo’ sure, when I do need that service, I will ask.
