YES...FOR SURE!!!!

Merchandise( shirts, butane, herf-a-dors, etc.) deals, & very good SAMPLER deals,
Bundle deals, Box deals, Bugatti lighter deals....

Almost everything under 50% of the
Mothership...many well below ^^ that...
and a few just at the normal bidding rates
tacked on because of shipping rates ( that I needed
replenished)

I'm sure DPnewell could've done better...but ...
hey I'm happy...

Lolz. Yeah... when they got rid of the good stuff I went on a hiatus as well, but don't anticipate an end time.

The good old days weren't that long ago.

I got in late, but bought enough. But when I'm out, I'm out.

Been smoking too much (5-7 per week).....that's twice what I used to smoke.
I need to get back to 2 or 3 per week.

Been a while since I bought anything on CBID or the mothership and little bought elsewhere. I was hoping to reduce my stockpile and restock, but all I have done is empty a smaller overflow cooler and a travel humidor and make a little room everywhere else. Passed on a few good deals in the process. I'll probably be buying a few things, but when I'm full, I'm done until next winter. What I really want is either unavailable or too expensive.

I keep telling myself I'm going to go on a buying hiatus, but how can I turn down
a box of Tatuaje Nicaragua Cojonu 2012 Maduros for $154 ?
That's "prit near" half the price that my local sells them for. 🤦

other than a fiver from a split with Fiddler last June, I stopped buying 11 months ago. The plan was to smoke through or give away all of my collection...I guess a few hundred cigars.

Finally hit zero about 6 weeks ago, bought two to smoke over Christmas weekend, was gifted another, and that's been it. Needed to remove the large inventory as I found I was lighting up many evenings without even really desiring or planning the time. Found I was not getting as much pleasure smoking so often but was in fact doing it to stave off boredom.

I could tell it wasn't like a cig addiction but wanted to reassess my relationship with cigars. Happy to report there is no withdrawal. None in the house has eliminated daydreaming about smoking when bored. At the very least I found I am in control of this "habit".

So my plan is to go get a smoke or 3 here and there, but the days of collecting and aging are probably over.

Not sure what I'll do about Cubans though as my private stock peaked at about 80% cc and it's tough to just get a few at a time that are ready to go...hope this is the biggest issue I face in life.
