  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

So a few days ago I bid on a box of Arturo Fuente Hemingway Best Seller's Well of course I won and had to explain to the wife I just dropped a bunch on them. Well she took it well but I got to stay way from the devil site. So anyway they came in the mail today...... Can anyone say WOW.... I can not wait to smoke one. I have to put a bunch of them up for sale to make up for spending so much on the devil site..... so expect a few fivers or some samplers to show up....

I cant complain too much this is the same woman who got a survey over the phone today who asked if she liked White Owl..... See goes R U F***ING Kidding me.

I had to put a block on that site...to keep me away!!!! But know i spend ridiculous amounts of dough at each event i go to, whenever someone puts up an attractive sale on this site and when brothers like Jake offer to sell something, I feel it necessary to help out....

And I thought I was the only one who's wife banned me from there.

It was nice for a while, even ideal. Boxes would come to the front door, the wife was late and I secreted them away to the humidor.

No one the wiser.....until one day that is....

I worked late, forgot a box was coming. Wife found box and wrote all over the sides of this...

"What the hell is this?"

"It better not be another box of cigars"

"Are you friggin' kidding me!"

"You are so banned"

That was it, two months free now....:argh:

I quit going when my five year old answered the door and it was the UPS man, she turned and yelled "Daddy, the cigar man is here again!". That made me realize enough is enough!

I went through my email box and realized how bad I was while I spent 15 months in Turkey. It seemed like that was my past time. I did nothing but bid on cigars and smoked a shit ton while I was there. I think when I left I tossed somewhere close to 20 boxes when I left because there was no point in shipping them home. I've somewhat migrated away from there and seem to give Dan at NHC all my money haha.

I signed up, but have never won anything. I just seach through all the internet shops until I find what I want at the right price.. I never pay B&M prices because price is so much better online. I would like to say I support local businesses, but when the State of CA passed a 46% tax on cigars, they drove my business out of state.

I literally laughed when I read this, because that's exactly how I am. I stayed away for over a month, and now I'm back because I wanted something specific...keep telling myself "I don't need anything else." Then I place a few bids. "Dude, you already have like 10 of those, and you don't have any more room...why are you bidding?" More bids. "Dude, frickin' quit it!" More bids...

I think we need to form a support group. 12-step CBid recovery process, lol.

And here's the worst--I accidentally did a Quick Buy on something that was for Thursday (literally 1st thing on the list that was Thursday not Wednesday). CRAP! Now I guess I just have to keep bidding all week.

The humidor and the cooler are "near" capacity.

Naw. Lots of good deals you just have to be firm. Set your price and stick to it. If you cant handle auctions, dont go there.
