When I lost my job in November of course we cut back. I managed to send out my Secret Santa, but that's the last I remember buying cigars. Prior to that, I'd buy a few here if I liked the smokes and it was a good deal. An auction site got some business.

Even so, I still have about 2 months of good smokes (at an average 4 a week) and some not so good ones I've used as filler in the humi after that. I've saved about $150 bucks (I know some of you spend more than that, lol) so it's been a help. Probably in April, I'll start looking to buy again.

One thing I learned for myself is I was buying quite a few I didn't need. Now I don't think I'll ever have the wineador and 500 smokes in it.

This is not an attempt at getting bombed, please don't think that. I just haven't been posting much and it's more about not seeing the great smokes brothers offer up and the itch to say "I want em!!!"

Sometime it takes a life changing event to really put things in perspective. When you come right down to it ... we're all just burning our money.

Still, it's the journey that makes life enjoyable. The shared events ... friends ... camaraderie ... memories tied to smell + taste. As long as you have a positive attitude and make decisions responsibly, you'll generally come out on top.

Here's to a great journey in 2012. :bottle:

Well I am still employed and haven't been buying like I use too. Mostly burning thru cheaper smokes and consolidating my stash. I am picking certain boxes to buy this summer hopefully.
But good to see you still around.

Sorry to hear about the job ~ been there done that.

I don't have too many cigars but i do like to have a few extra for those hard times. It is bad enough not having a job so a good smoke from time to time can put your mind back on track.

Good luck to you and enjoy buying the ones you really like come April.
