Had the same revelation last week. The gods smiled on me, and now coolerdor is full (for the moment). Good luck!

I know how you feel.I was goofing on an auction site and won a 4 pack Fuente Forbiden X sampler for around $150.then had to buy a humidore to store them at the house until i can get home..it cost me $450. to goof off

I currently have 16 open auctions between today and tomorrow and I want to win every bleeding one. When I bid I take my max price and coutn that as money spent, so I'm pretty good against my available credit. Then whatever I don't win today I dump into tomorrows availble spending.

Man, sometimes I will sneak out of bed to go check on a bid at closing time, and bid higher if necessary. If I win I can't go back to sleep for an hour.

My high school students would say I need a life.

I love that man. He is my idol.

Well I'm only winning 5 now, and they are all sampler packs. I still have no idea what I like, so I'll be buying samplers for the moment.

My #1 rule: Don't drink and bid!!! I spent almost $400 one night on the auction sites.

So you are the reason I never win a bid!

Yup I feel your pain, been there done that etc. I find the same smokes on Cbid and now I am not interested in all of them just "certain" ones.

Talk about addicting! Especially when I have an empty humidor that is nearly ready to take stogies.

I felt that way one night when i had bids on three humidors, two boxes and about 9 five packs...well i won them all and they came on the same day. I just happened to be late coming home from work, and well i was met at the front door with all the boxes stacked nicely and my wife shaking her head at me.

Great advice! After bidding on just about everything to begin with I have honed my interest down to a smaller # of cigars. Placing an early autobid that's slightly on the low side gives you a good chance of getting a real bargain! I actually picked up some of the Padilla '32s for $31 myself this week.
