Me too!Once a week for the past 2 years.
I pass on the initial offering and then end up hunting them down anyway.....
my wife says they have medication for my condition, but I'm afraid I might like it....LOL!
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.

Never :cbig:Have you said....."this is the last time"...."i'll get THESE.....THEN I'll be done"...
:devilhead
After a few years of reckless abandon I have decided I am done for the remainder of this year and will only buy as many as I smoke going forward.
That means I can buy about 200 cigars per year.
- 5 each of what I consider the top ten releases of the year = 50 @ aprox. $500.
- 1 box of what I consider the most exciting NC release each year or two ten counts = 20 @ aprox. $250.
- 2 boxes of exotics = 50 @ aprox $350.
- That leaves 80 cigars to be purchsed off of the WTS forums and auction sites for aprox. $400
Add all that up, and these rolled up leaves will cost me about $1500 per year. That's better than the $7000 I've spent over the last 2.5 years but still gives one pause for thought.
If I can't stick to this budget, I have a problem. If I do stick to it, I won't feel uneasy about making the planned purchases. Since I was raised Catholic and may or may not have issues with self inflicted guilt, that will be more valuable than the money saved.
Or perhaps this one last Liga Privada lot that Clint has for sale, then I won't buy any more stuff from him....LOL!Never...like saying I am going to take this last breath and then no more...
Hah, you hit on it dude. The nice thing about rare cigars is gthat there are plenty to go around.The damn problem is the buying and anticipation is as enjoyable as smoking the damn things.
What always kills me is the LE's. I always think "O man, Ive got to get some of these cuz they will never be made again and if they're great sticks Ill kick myself for passing on the opportunity." The funny part about this being that there are always going to be tons more limited edition sticks and I can just grab a few of a future release and its not a big deal. But hey, I'm a sucker with a sickness for cigars!
