I'm either a model of self-restraint or an idiot.

I was in Philly this weekend and walked into the Holt's store. Walked out with nothing.

(In my defense: they didn't have any Anejos; I've never smoked an Opus X before so I don't know if I like them; and I'm not exactly rolling in extra spending money these days.)

Hey if ya don't have the extra $$ to be blowing don't do it. I'd go with model of self restraint, wish I had some.

I feel your pain brotha. I have been in the same boat the last couple months myself as owning a new home has been draining my cigar money faster than I would like as buying furniture, paint and weekend trips to the nursery have been killing me. I even have a Tinder Box that is only about 15-20 min. away that has a pretty good selection too. See so it's true, Misery does like company!

I vote for the former rather than the latter. Within the broader landscape while it is true that you walked out without purchasing cigars I would hardly say that you gained "nothing" from the experience. To prove my point drop me a PM.

Mysterious--sounds like a trap, but you've made me curious

I have self-restraint.

Self restraint. I couldn't have done that...

credit cards bro! j/k

I'm hoping I can join you. I'm looking to order nothing online and only buy Anejos for the remainder of the year. The Anejos would only be Sharks at my B&M, which has great prices.

Unfortunately I'm always seeing must have deals. I think I need to stay off this site to accomplish my goal.

[Major Captain Silly]

Maybe you're a model of idiot-restraint or a restraint of self-model. You may just be a kitty cat.

If that's not self-restraint, I don't know what is. I'd probably have walked out with at least 2-3 different things I didn't need.

Some part of my brain refuses to readjust and realize that if great deals pop up all the time, they might not be so great.

your my hero! I can't walk out of a b & m without nothing. Please teach me the way..... LOL!!!

[Dgar]

Very good......


One day at a time.... You can spend a mint trying every new special or latest blend.


There will always be another chance to pick up that special cigar.

Everytime I walk into a B&M I have to walk out with something. That is regardless of whether I need it or not. I have no control over it.
