Confessions of a CS Newbie starting to slide!!
Here I sit, 10:15 pm MST, hardly able to contain my excitement over being involved in my first ever trade...

I confess 2 months ago I knew nothing about Club Stogie and places like Cigar Bid. I loved a good 'gar but had never explored the internet side of it...then I was having a problem with my humi...

imagine some dramtic music here... Beethoven's Fifth...Ta-ta-ta-daaaa

I google cigars, found Top 25 Cigar and started exploring... Me: This forum thing looks impressive. Real sense of community. Pretty Cool...so I lurked...

I confess, I had no intention of joining...no intention of getting involved...Me: I don't know enough about cigars. I know what I like (it's all the sticks and the occasional box I buy from my local store) but I had to look up on the internet how to fix a problem with my humi!

What happens next?

I win my first two ever bids on CBID!!Win #1 and Win #2...

I confess the slope is getting a lot more slippery and I have to say I'm looking forward to the slide!

P.S.

No one tell Mrs. Bluenote otherwise she'll have an excuse to go buy more shoes!

There will be some plateaus, but when then the momentum just pushes right off the edge. Enjoy. I've just come off a long sabbatical and the slide feels fresh and fine. I am glad that I have kept notes and recorded my thoughts. It really helps keep my perspective. Love this place!

Re: Confessions of a CS Newbie starting to slide!!
You need to change the title of this thread from

Newbie starting to slide

to

Newbie at the point of no return and way beyond help !

Don't fight it, that will only make it worse. Give in and enjoy the slide

Nice.
Hopefully in your user preferences you selected weekly shipping.
Your next lesson is that the more lots you win, the better the value is because the shipping cost doesn't change

Do you want the man to go broke?!

Hearing you guys talk about cbid reminds me of a certain story of temptation from a book I once read...

As for me, I'm a lost cause. I was already in freefall by the time I joined CS.

You're a goner . Welcome to the club. Yes, by all means get weekly shipping; the savings will add up.
