my last purchase was on April 17, 2023, when I picked up some Padron 1926s and 1964s from the tenski place because some enabler blabbed about the deal

Okay, 13 Purchase-free days in April + 7 days in May = 20 PFD total.

WTG Al! =d>

The hard part is crafting up the right language to allow you to win the pool after the entries have been closed. Might hafta ask the resident English major to help.

I found the R44s at a good price and pulled the trigger. So, my iron clad resolution lasted about 33 hours.

But, now I'm set. No more cigars for the rest of May. Iron. Clad.

And I mean it this time.

Not a bad deal at $5.60-ish each. It’s been said by a few that letting them nap for a couple years does wonders for them.

this ironclad resolution/buying hiatus is giving me a chance to liquidate /incinerate some of my cache of cigars...hopefully in a year, my inventory will be more manageable and I can eliminate some plastic storage bins...I'm guessing that I have between 2,000 to 2,300 cigars, with many 10 years and older...I bought a buncha boxes in those early years from 2011-2013, and when I smoked through half a box, I'd empty the rest into storage trays that I kept in a roomy end table humidor...

I may even start a spreadsheet to list each cigar and it's current location...this activity will fill the time spent and replace the activity of researching and searching for the best deals to buy cigars.
