I lost control again

[bigloo]

So, I am absolutely out of room in my humis (2x 150ct, 2x 20ct, 1x 15ct and 2x 30ct tupperdor). Promised myself no more and that I would have to smoke some room into the humidors, no more humidors,etc. This is my 10 day haul since I made that commitment not to buy.

5 Rocky Patel Fusion Toro
5 Rocky Patel Double Maduro Toro
5 Natural Pimp Stick
2 Natural Root Deluxe
2 Natural Green Hero
2 Natural Clean Robusto
2 Natural Root
2 Natural Dirt Torpedo
2 Natural Dirt
5 Partagas Black Magnifico
4 Graycliff Original PGX
4 Graycliff Prossionale PGX
4 Graycliff Crystal PGX
4 Graycliff G2 Toro
4 Legend by Graycliff
10 Gurkha Titans
5 Gurkha Royal Brigade Perfecto
5 Gurkha Centurion Perfecto
5 Felipe Domincana Boa

And I still have 2 bids winning on the devil. To make some room I invited a pal over tonight and I have cleared room for 4 sticks. Its tough work but someone has to do it.

We need a support group on here for people like me who seem to be more addicted to collecting then smoking sometimes!

Hey, I totally feel your pain. This last week's been rough on the wallet for me too, and I know I don't have the space.

I brought in a mighty haul (over 20 sticks) from the B&M the other day.
I helped you with your problem, and added to mine (extra goodies don't help me, either :P)
I just bought like 35 cigars from heliofire.
I just got 8 from audio1der.
I just ordered 5 Taboo Twists because of a rockin' deal.
And now I'm wondering where this is going to go because I insist on limiting my smoking-per-day to 1 good stick and a Backwoods. Might have to trade in the Backwoods and start getting in the habit of a breakfast smoke and a lunch smoke...

We should develop a 10-step program for this...this is ridiculous.

less typing... More smoking

Please, that's a days worth of smokes at best! You should really consider stocking up

I thought we were your support group. You can never have too many cigars or love for smoking them!! You need to be taken out back to the tool shed and taught a lesson about the lack of respect you have for your stogies!!

Some people's children...

[boonedoggle]

yes yes...this is a very hard habit to break. I am currently in a "non-buying" phase...crap, the wife got paid today...never mind.

You only need a 1-step program:

Step 1: Buy a bigger humidor.

Problem solved

[Misha]

I too am in a non buying phase

That's why i just took over almost 170 cigars from a friends collection, and ordered close to 40 from Taboo

That's quite a lot for someone that smokes about 2 sticks a week...

[pcozad1]

I need to go on a non buying spree like that.

I keep telling myself that. So why did I just _have_ to check to see if something was in stock at New Havana this morning....

[imthegoal]

I had been on a self imposed buying freeze for the last 2 months but I kind of broke that this morning. If I win these 3 bids I have 50 more on the way.

[neoflex]

Nice job sticking to your guns! Your first mistake was making the commitment to yourself. It never fails that when I tell myself that I need to cut back on buying and smoke more of what I have that I too end up buying more. At least we recognize we have a problem. We just fail to execute the plan.

[Rolando]

I could never get the space optimization thing right when I was at my threshold. Even when I was sure I had smoked enough to order more somehow between the time I ordered and the time they arrived the cigars were in there cloning or something and I ended up in an overflow storage situation. If you have smoked 20 and you order 20 (similiar sizes) there should be room, right? How is it when they came in I could barely squeeze 5 in there?

Anyway I now have twice what I need so if I see a deal online or a couple of sticks at a B&M I don't have to panic anymore. The only reason I would have to panic now is if I filled it up again. I am pretty slope resistant so I don't see that happening.

[Big Bluto]

I keep telling myself NO MORE...but then the tears don't stop. Oh the tears. Someone please help...
