  • Cigar buying "habits"

     12-27-2008, 2:56 AM

    Hopefully i'm not the only one like this so i'm just going to throw it out there. Anyone else find themselves on cigar sites atleast 2-3 times a day. Whether it's checking this forum, going on CI to check out the joe cigar special, surfing JR or CI viewing the latest specials and samplers, poking your head on c-bid trying to score those smokes youve been wanting for a while? Surfing ccom reading all of the descriptions and researching a particular stick..... I'm an addicted man! I hit the b&m maybe once week, however they are usually too expensive here in CA, online is the way to go here.

    Am i normal....

    Hopefully i'm not way out in left field on this one.

    My God, it sounded like I posted that. It describes me perfectly. I leave my browser open with a bunch of cigar websites open and check back often. I bring catalogs with me to work and leave a copy of a cigar magazine by the throne. I end up buying too many sticks because of the deals. Especially when they throw in an extra 8 cigars on top of the low sale price. I just can't pass those deals up.

    I have the work laptop on all day, with several sites open in firefox. The bulk of the things work related use IE so I just pop firefox up throughout the day and waste time. I find myself on this forum the most. I would say I check on the cigars that are being ordered or out of stock as Ccom seems to update their lists at any time. I buy cigars from other sites as well but usually when Ccom doesn't stock them or have them in stock.

    same here guys. At a minimum I check the site when I get up, before I leave for work, when I get home and Before I go to bed. On days that I don't work it's even more often than that.

    I feel like I miss something when I don't check the forum pages everyday!

    Looks like all of us have a little bit of OCD! If I'm not out of town, I at least check the boards every time before I go to bed. And if I have any spare time at my desk, I spend it looking to see if there are any new posts.

    I am usually so bored at work that I look at this site and a few others like 10 times a day. If I can, I leave a ccom window up at work to go back and forth between the cigars and the forum.

    I definitely check-in here a lot. In terms of the store part of the site, or other online sellers, I don't spend much time perusing them anymore. I did for many months, but now I feel like I've got a pretty good grip on what all's out there, and I've got a big enough collection that I can pretty much always just go to my humi to find something interesting I haven't tried yet, or another of something I love.

    Heh. All you have to do is hang around here long enough, Jet, and participate in the games, trades, and passes. You'll quickly accumulate a wide variety of things.
