mmmmmhmmmmm....i'm having overage issues cuz of all the brothers here who can't count! whether it's early in the morning or late at night...somehow 5 means somewhere between 10-15....and i love it....i love it like i love lamp.

coolerdor is the way to go. And don't waste your time with a small one!

My first reaction was WOW that is alot of money, then I thought "I wonder how much I have spent". A very quick look at my check register, and I my reaction changed. I wonder if there is a program I can join, but I would be the one during the intervention saying "It's just a few cigars a couple times a week, it's not like I am letting it control my life".....Hello my name is Kevin and it's been 20 mins since my last cigar purchase.

Always happy to help a fellow BOTL further down the slippery slope.

And don't forget books! Big, expensive photo books on cigars, Perelman's Cyclopedia every year, and all the toys and gizmos -- you got a great start on a cutter collection.

Y'see, it never really stops. It might let up for a while, but then, then you see a Holt's catalogue, or you make the mistake of visiting THE DEVIL SITE, or CI has a really cool 25 count humidor filled with a really yummy selection of sticks, or one heck of a deal on that cigar you've been wanting to try......

Aw, heck, relax and enjoy the ride and let the Devil take the hindmost!!

please congratulate me.

and till death do us part.

Oh good, you haven't caught on yet that a few of us "borrowed" your credit card!!

You are not alone my friend. Not by a longshot.

Its all relative.

As long as it doesn't affect your lifestyle or your family... slide away.

It's easy to get out of control with all the excitement and fellow addicts here talking up cigars every day.

There is an easy control mechanism on cigar buying. Just refuse to buy a larger humi, coolers etc. When you run out of room... you're done.



Wish I had thought of it sooner.

the craziest thing is that as i was adding up my cigar purchases, i noticed there WAS a charge i didn't recognize. i do some calling around and HELLO, someone signed up for a ***** site...a mere $29.95....i've got an idea of where my information got leaked (in fact, i think it's a small time cigar retailer), but that's just speculation...

discover handled it and my new card is in the mail. shoot, if you're gonna use my money for *****, at least give me the login.

klugs, i've seen your garage-a-dor....for you to run out of space is to deplete the world's supply of tobacco by 12%.

i wish i only spent $400 a month on cigars....actually, i take that back....my wife wishes i only spent $400 a month on cigars!!!!

trust me on this....the money that u spent already will be NOTHING compared to the money spent when you get where you're going.....

down, down, down, the slope you go.
