I need help, if I'm not careful I'll be calling up Ditech before too long 
:-)
but seriously, it's killing me not to be spending, but I simply don't have cash.  and unlike last year, the wife and I are trying to be responsible, which sucks btw.

I'm with you there.  I sold some samplers to pick up a few things, but as far as the rest of my $$$$, it's all going toward presents. 
:-)

Christmas? Bah!!! Restraint is for people who don't smoke cigars. What I need is 
more cigars. And maybe a bigger humidor. Embrace your OCD!

Do as I do.
Just tell yourself to be happy with what you got. And that the prices are absurd.... (I know.. I know.. I just tell myself this to keep from buying....) And do not for whatever reason look at the deal or the devil sites.
I haven't bought a single cigar since May. 
Saving my money for our wedding (Next July... 
:-) ).... and all I gotta say is she better damn well appreciate it.. cus I'm going insane. 
:-)

It's gets harder and harder to sit on the sidelines when the prices keep getting more and more attractive.  Although I plan on spending the money on presents, I might have to pull the trigger on some sticks if there's something I can't pass up.

I need help too.  After I swore not to spend anymore before Christmas, I ordered a bundle from Vegas de Santiago, then went in for a box of Diablo Picantes.
I would also be going in on some CC box splits but others had more sense and decided to wait until after Christmas.
I NEED HELP!!!

Is it bad that I just bought $100 worth of samplers from CI and had them sent to my work so I can bring them home and sneak them into the coolidor without the wife knowing?

Crazy?  Hell...I do that just so my mailman won't think I'm crazy!  He always makes a comment when another box from PA shows up, because he knows he's gonna get a stick or two from time to time.  I can't imagine having a wife and trying to hide from her as well...it's hard enough on my own!
