Finished with your SCHIP panic buys?

I think I'm good on cigars now. I can go about three years or so if I smoke one a day. I just need to get a couple bags of pipe tobacco and I can hunker down and wait for some sane politicians to get in office.
Hmmmm... that could take longer than 3 years....uh-oh.

I didn't have to buy any. I keep a pretty low stock as my local B&M has about anything I could want as well as a lounge to smoke it in. I did however trade some pipe tobacco for 75 JR Alts (Punch & Hoya Rothschild Alternatives) + 20 other various name brand sticks to keep on hand for daily use.

Re: Finished with your SCHIP panic buys?

I never went crazy over the SCHIP thing. Now just like everybody else I'm not crazy about it! It pisses me off! But at about $.40 a stick its not going to break me or keep me from buying cigars. A box of 25 cigars is only $10 more. Hell I'm not proud of it but I have spent more then that on just 1 cigar many times.

Its not about the $10 to me, its about boycottings a ridiculous policy but thats more of a political discussion so I'll just leave it at that as per forum rules.

I hear you one that! But boycotting? Are you saying you are not going to buy any more cigars at all after April 1st, untill no more SCHIP? If so I hope you really did STOCK UP!!!

I guess the point I was making is that I'm not going to panic and spend money I don't have on cigars now just to save a small amount later.

But don't get me wrong I think SCHIP is total BS!
