earthson Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Okay, newber question, here: How do y'all know when the LFTH/LFTW events are going to happen? Is it announced beforehand, or are we supposed to check the forum every evening (Western Hemisphere Time) to see whether it's going off? I already spent my monthly cigar budget/humi space last week and if I would have known this was popping, there are several boxes I would have sold my dog for!

pbibby Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 It was announced over the weekend. I'd link it, but don't know how to on my phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 They're semi-random. Don't have to check hourly but every day or so should do it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I post in advance on the forum to give 48 hours or so notice. Often it is included in the outgoing FOH newsletter. Typically it is a few days to a week after I get to the warehouse to inspect incoming shipments. I was there last week. Back there next week to inspect the Monte stock and a few others including Partagas 898. I have a small vintage shipment arriving in 10 days or so. Nothing too special 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

investandprosper Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Translate "vintage" to mean outdated and dusty. Don't be distracted from the shiny new boxes! Look, shiny things! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like you want everyone to know What am I saying, I'm tapped out anyway. Between you and Mr OLH my budgets right out the window. Is this how it goes Prez? Get em in with a good deal on a box or two and before you know it they're taking out a second mortgage because Robs posted just one more awesome box, just one more LFTW purchase. Cursing us with box after box of beautiful cigars of the highest quality. Jokes on you, I've still got a kidney I can sell Fantastic as always Prez. I'm going back to watching the mailbox...

Cursing us with box after box of beautiful cigars of the highest quality.Yes, this is absolutely how it goes. During April I only wanted to buy Partagas Shorts and Mag 46.Guess what? Ended with 2 boxes RASCC, 1 box Monte 4,1 box Monte 5, then a box of Upmann connie 1 and a box of Upmann connie A's Its too late man, you have already been here. The bugs are now eating that brain from inside out. And you just buy and buy more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bugs are now eating that brain from inside out. And you just buy and buy more I think we need a support group As in a group that supports our cigar finances I wonder if I could start a charity. I can see the commercial now: "this is Pedro. In his daily struggle for a good cigar he is forced to roam the streets, smoking PE grade Cubans. For just $500 a month you can help him and others like him to live without the uncertainty of how he will afford Robs next HQ or PSP offering. Call now to pledge your support" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david8017 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Dude, it's so true. I started not even a year ago just wanting a couple of boxes of Cubans for special occasions. Now I can't fit another box in my wineador and hardly touch my NC. If my wife ever finds out how much I've spent I'm in serious trouble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not joking To fit another box solution always ends with a new humidor/coolidor/cabinet or whatever but surely not with stop buying boxes till you have more places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro2486 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 New humidors? Man, I'm building a house and the master bedroom has twin walk in robes. I'm starting to think I don't need two, the one on the right is starting to look like a great walk in humidor. Bit of cedar on the walls and ceiling, rip up the carpet and replace with tile beeeeaauutiful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeskow Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Dude, it's so true. I started not even a year ago just wanting a couple of boxes of Cubans for special occasions. Now I can't fit another box in my wineador and hardly touch my NC. If my wife ever finds out how much I've spent I'm in serious trouble same story here (and everyone else) , bought a house and figured a nice little 25 ct humidor would be nice and I put a few NC's from my local B&M in there.. went to the Bahamas and bought a few fake CC's before I knew anything, vowing to never be dooped again I found this site and all hell broke loose.. My 28ct Winedor is bursting at the seams and I am still buying more.. to top it off my Wife is a Cardiologist so I see her face turn red everytime I light up... Man if she only knew how much I have spent on Cigars, storage and accessories it would be bye-bye. everytime I say to myself this is it I have more than enough, Rob goes and hosts a LFTH. thanks Rob!

earthson Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 I keep 4 humis which allows enough space to age some stock for a few years without spending enough to need a divorce lawyer. Whenever she balks at how much a box or two cost, I offer to quit cigars and take up crack. That usually ends it (with a chuckle, which is a great way to win an audience! ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxman Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Budget? Whats a budget? I stopped making a budget as by the first week of the month I was always over it. Thank God I am not married yet or I would be divorced already. My fiance is pretty cool but I am sure once that day comes and everything becomes a joint account I will have to ask advice from a few of you guys on the tricks of the trade on hiding our spending habits from our wives! Also I love the charity idea, sign me up for that board of directors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wookiemofo Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I assume these are the same as the pinned posts offering PSP, HQ and PE? Or is there something else that I am missing? I've always wondering with the newbie FAQ about how to properly reply when requesting a box if I'm missing anything, seeing as all the posts are locked and emails are just sent to Diana!
