manelson05 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Firearms, reloading gear, ammunition, cigars, wet shaving gear, holsters, nymphs, always need a dozen plus of the same pattern . rinse and repeat often. 24:24 and 48:48 have made me really susceptible, can't wait for more specials.
danny Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I came on to the board to browse around last night at 2am. I started reading about certain box codes being amazing. I got up, checked several box codes, purchased 2-boxes through a vendor, got into bed, read some more, got up to check another box or two I had, purchased another 2 boxes, then read some other topics on the board.... Happens quite often actually, not with just cigars either... Yes, I am VERY impulsive. So much that I even question myself sometimes.
garbandz Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Ask Diana,she's a much better judge of this than I am...............
Laxman Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Big time impulse buyer. Cigars are by far my worst. For a time it was dress shoes, still have a closet full of them. But cigars the last 5 years have blown everything else away. It really is crazy. Told myself I was not going to buy any cigars this week and its Tuesday and already bought 4 boxes, a 50 cab, and another 33 loose cigars! Always have been bad with cars. Any time I walk into a dealer I always leave with another car.
First Lady Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 You could have bought me a bottle of perfume...one would have been enough while you were in the buying mood Honestly Diana more Perfume, Dear God you already have millions of bottles
First Lady Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 ..i almost bought the "Magic Cane" on 4:30 am TV this morning. ...it has a LED light (rotational) and folds into the glovebox. no brainer Should I also mention the time you tried to convince me we really needed a bubble machine for the office 'What the Hell" you were so disappointed that I said no LOL
Bill Hayes Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Started with football boots - still have 8 pairs in the garage and haven't played for 11 years. Then moved to wine - have boxes full of expensive wine poorly stored from great Aus years like 98' and 2002. Last one I opened, a Wolf Blass Grey Label 98' was vinegar. Then to cigars and tried to purchase lots of LE's and singles. Then that got a touch expensive so moved on to fashionable sneakers - still have two washing baskets full in the cupboard. Then to spearfishing gear and have 7 wetsuits, 9 spearguns, 5 masks, 3 sets of fins, 5 floats, 5 knives, an inflatable kayak and assorted gear to fill 3 plastic tubs and 3 gear and gun bags plus tents and camping gear. Apparently I'm a hoarder according to the missus. We are moving apartments soon and I'll need to cull. Can't bear to part with any of it.
Konstantin Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 To much... Cigars, fishing gear... and other stuff... As a shopaholic from time to time
El Presidente Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Should I also mention the time you tried to convince me we really needed a bubble machine for the office 'What the Hell" you were so disappointed that I said no LOL ......I should have bought that bubble machine 2
Hunter1974 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Oh yes: Guns knives cigars Gear Accessories for all of the above and accessories for my accessories my list exactly I would only have to add Scotch/whiskey lol 1
JohnS Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I have to stay away from my local Dan Murphys (a liquor outlet in Australia) as every time I'm in there I think about what is missing from my bar! I can't say that I try to keep away from 24:24 or 48:48 sales.
nick2021 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Yes, especially on cigars/fishing/hunting. I am doing much better on cigars though having established a specific budget/list of specific "to-buy" cigars. Fishing---well, trying to get that under control lol

Nymphs can get expensive!! Stick to the ones you tie to a leader on your fly rod... 1
manelson05 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Nymphs can get expensive!! Stick to the ones you tie to a leader on your fly rod... I'm tying out 18-24 zebra midges, wd40's and copper johns. High end optics have spoiled me too, once I went Zeiss I have never looked back, then I got bit by the SAKO bug and its been downhill ever since. 1
bugg4672 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Whats bad is you go into the Dollar Tree where everything is a dollar to get some batteries and you leave with a $250 receipt.
DropTopDee Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Whats bad is you go into the Dollar Tree where everything is a dollar to get some batteries and you leave with a $250 receipt. now thats a sickness. sheesh!
jfive Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I have this problem bad! It the worst with fishing gear, surfboards and now, apparently, cigars. -jfive
khamy Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I once went out to pick up some toner cartridge. Came home with a new printer that also scans and photocopys, new mattress and a 3 piece outdoor setting. Next time i am going to email stuff to work and print it out there. 1
alephilmac Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I go on "kicks". One week it's rum, another, whiskey... then antiquarian books, then coins, etc. Can't stay focused on one thing! Not impulsive so much as streaky!
Lasabar Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I'm the same way with Cigars.... No matter vs. Cuban or NC... If I like them a deal is too good to pass up. BBF on the previous 24:24..... I bought a dress box before and didn't like a single one and gave them away... On sale???? Oh, many people like them all the time so let's get another SLB. Esplendido's 4 pack on sale? May not need Super Expensive Esplendidos..... but emailed about HQ or above Robusto or Siglo boxes....... UGH! I just did the same for Zino Platinum Grand Masters... 25 for $100 was too good to pass up.... I'm a sucker
Duane Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 If I see something I like, it turns out to be an virus and consumes me, my wife just looks and goes not again. I need to down size my hobbies.
PeterJames Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 100% I cannot walk into a liquor store without going home with a couple bottles of wine.. The same goes for cigars, I can't help myself!
omartout Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Cigars Vinyl Belt Buckles Shoes A lot of the time I have a good control of it but Ive walked out of places and drove away and came back because I couldn't stop thinking about the item. Usually its my wife saying just do it, "because you will not stop talking about it."
parabola66 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I feel like I am throwning gasoline on a fire.. but this.. http://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/ Your Welcome / I am Sorry
