  • 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.

I can so relate to your dilemma. I have no willpower but certainly will be cutting back during the holiday months. I think my VISA card caught on fire recently does not help either.

I'm on hiatus, too. Of course, I only decided to do that after buying about 500 sticks this summer... :skew:

Actually, I was just getting geared up to go on a buying binge when the Mrs. informed me we would be visiting the daughter in Europe this Christmas (ouch). :crytears:

At least i can pick out my own CCs and ship them to myself.

Well, as I look back on the last year an wonder where the hell all my cash is, I realized I have converted it into leaves. Anyways, I've decided to not purchase anymore cigars for the next 2 months. I'm going to try and get my bank account back up just intime for Christmas. Essentually here is my one and only rule: I cannot order any cigars fo myself between Sept. 1 through October 31. :crying:

I've never done this, so it will be interesting to see if I can hold firm with all the new sticks coming out.
Top for posterity. :rofl:

Did he make it those last 7 days?
Yes I did. It was actually a good thing that I did this b/c my wife's car needed some work so I didn't feel a hit. Plus I purchased a box of PSD4 and Trinidad LE and a few sticks of the PL Robusto RE over X-mas, which was why I was saving for the first place. I did have to pass on the Monte Reserva because of the car though. Oh well, can't get everything.
