It's official, I have CADS

[PerpetualNoob]

That's right, and many of you have it, too. Cigar Acquisition Derangement Syndrome. It's insidious, and virtually incurable. Today, to reward myself for paying off my credit card, I low-balled a box of Relics on c-bid. I feel so dirty.

[ejgarnut]

LOL...my sympathies. I have the syndrome also, so I feel your pain.

[JoeyBear]

Incurable and in the right company...totally contagious!

[PerpetualNoob]

I got out-bid. I can't decide whether I should be happy or sad about that.

You're in good company here, I think all of us have CADS, some more severe cases than others though.

CADS is also known as IDS (if you have seen my humi you would know)

Inner-Dwertman Syndrome (IDS) is a syndrome most commonly characterized by intrusive, repetitive thoughts resulting in the compulsive purchasing of cigars that the person feels driven to purchase, according to the law of "deals" and "buys" that must be applied rigidly, aimed at increasing stocks of smokes by preventing some dreaded event like S-CHIP or by resolving a more nebulous sense of running out of cigars. However, the likelihood that a deal will be missed, or the causal relationship between the missed deal of buying and the reduction of stocks tends to be imagined or exaggerated. (American Medical Association)

I know this isn't fatal but it's a life long illness to say the least. 40 years plus and still going strong.

Congratulations on your purchase!

I'm a recovering CADS-aholic. Not sure how long it will last, but I think I've bought one full box of cigars and a hand full of singles this year. Please don't ostracize me!

I do have to say it's nice though, I've been enjoying the cigars that I have now. I have more time to get to those cigars that I've been meaning to smoke but haven't when new purchases enter the mix.

I had 2 more boxes show up at the office yesterday. The guy in the office next to mine looked over when I opened them and just said "I think you have a problem."

[PerpetualNoob]

I think it's probably one of those things that may go into remission, but you're always one Joe's Jam away from totally falling off the wagon again.

I still have some of the Relics, so I'm not going to pursue this box. It's already up to $82, and they're only $99 regular price. Doesn't mean that I don't want them, though.
