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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmInkxbvlCs |

As for me, I’m not buying any more cigars for awhile. I’m jammed packed to the rafters. |

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. |

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. |

Are you going to retire storage space or fill it back 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...  |

Did the Giza place get you on the boxes of Padron FR 85s for $150?
What did you buy? |

Cloud hoppers for $3.50 a stick and GR88's under $5 a stick from the tenski place (and in tenskis ironically). |

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! |

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 |

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. |
