    I've got about 20 cigars... I'm trying to accumulate... There is nothing wrong with them, but I like some variety rather than smoking the same thing every day.

    Why I feel I shouldn't buy them is because I only get paid once a month. It'd mess up the budget, and my fiance would probably kill me for spending money on cigars.. she thinks it's stupid to spend $10+ on cigars
    @Thanatos0320
      HAHAHA... <-- That summs it up right there.  Take it from me,  its justifiable. What does she buy... shoes, bags, nails, hair, makeup, fall wardrobe , and don't get me started on the wedding.....I could go on and on to back your argument just saying.

    Definitely shoes, clothes, and makeup. Fortunately, for me, she doesn't want a big wedding, and we're getting married in her town in Greece where a nice wedding is about $10k.  Because she's the bride, her parents have to pay for the entire thing.

    Has there ever been a box of cigars you want (or several) and you know you shouldn't buy them, but you're seriously considering doing it? How do you fight that urge to buy the cigars? 
    If I want to buy them, I just buy them otherwise If I need convincing not to buy them, I'll just ask my wife :smiley:

    We bought a house and got married for 70.00$, just saying.

    Thankfully I manage all of the finances for my household so I never have to catch any flak for buying cigars... but if multiple boxes show up in the same week it does raise questions.

    If I subscribed to the "if you want it, buy it" philosophy, I would be broke.

    My fiancé encourages me when I shop online for cigars. When she sees a price per cigar that is less than the Cubans in Istanbul, she says “wow, that looks like a great deal”. I believe I have a keeper. 🤓
    Mine to... Doesn't even mind me smoking in the house. We are lucky men.

    My wife doesn't say much, however we both work on the budget weekly so it sort of dictates what I spend. If I ain't got it, I can't spend it. Fighting the urge, just don't look. The more you look, the more you have to buy it. Just saying

    Forgot to mention. VIP members price is less than $92 a box.

    That's less than $5 a stix where I come from. This cigar is in the top 10 this year IMO.

    Don't hesitate. Buy today before they are all gone!!!

    There are also some great Holiday deals going on for the wicked weed. When I say wicked weed I mean the shiiit I smoke most of the time.

    Look you seegar whores. The Holidays are upon us. Go buy the wife a gift card at Sophora, a spa package anything to make her happy. Tell her you want nothing. Instead go buy yourself something you will enjoy. A great cigar.

    Don't settle for something you will never use or throw in the closet. Think back about all the crap you have got for XMas etc.. Now ask yourself this. Was it better than the last cigar you smoked?


    Think hard.


    Now charge, charge, charge.

    I am not encumbered with such urges. My wallet is a great deterrence.
