Even though I am holding off on new cigar purchases I keep checking the Daily cigar deals thread, lol. I don't get to smoke as many cigars during the winter and have plenty to keep me going.

would imagine it has something to do with deep seeded mother issues from early childhood of which I must also suffer, as I do the same.

or it could be some sort of S&M fetish :dunno:

Don't get me wrong it's a great thread but it can be hard to resist. Maybe those with weak wills, like myself, should ask the mods to lock myself from viewing the deals thread, lol.

I'm in the same boat, probably won't buy again for three months. I quit looking at deals, JAMS, the Monster, etc. until I'm able to buy again. My name's Brian, and I've gone without buying cigars for approximately one month.

I like twenty5's 4 step program

"I follow the "Plan to not purchase" steps. They are easy.

1) Plan to not buy any cigars
2) Buy cigars
3) WTF did I just do
4) Start over"

I have the exact same illness. Fortunately I found a cure--all my bins are busting at the seams, and if I get another bin my pregnant wife can tell the cops it was just a hormonal imballance that led her to burn all my possesions ...

never check deals.
don't want to waste money on something that's a good deal just because it's a good deal. invariably there is something new...opus la, rosados, new pete release, etc. that comes up that you can't plan for. gotta be ready for THAT!!!

Or keep telling yourself that there will be four shop specific releases next year and you need to save money to buy a box of each, lol. I am lucky in that my frugalness (my wife uses the word cheap) prevents me from pulling the trigger most of the time.

Man, I just try to forget Cigarmonster, et al, exist because since the baby came, I haven't been able to buy cigars for 8 weeks or more. :boxing:

I don't even have a credit card (just debit but there isn't anything in there to use and won't be for a while haha) but I guess that could be a good thing because if I did have a Visa, etc, I would most definitely be in a lot of debt. On the lighter side of the news, my wife would have that awesome ring I have been working my butt off to buy her someday haha
