:tpd: Like my high school bus driver always said "Smoke em if you got em boys, smoke em if you got em...."

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I am a smoker, but I am smoking less these days and buying more. I guess this makes me a collector.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I think I am a smoker... For a while I was totally a collector, but I eventually grew past that stage. now I just grab whatever looks good. The thoughts of "oh that's my only/last one" cross my mind often, but then I tell myself "perfect reason to smoke it".

The way I see it, if it's my only one, chances are I got it in a sampler and I haven't tried it yet. No sense not trying it if it has the potential to be a favorite.

smoker with a few quirks that force me to buy a few to many of everything

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Like Scott said... I do enjoy the rare find, but I am definitely a smoker. I have a plan for aging some of my stuff, but I smoke anything when the mood strikes.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Smoker...

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I'm pretty much the same way. I do have quite a few that I'm putting away for aging (well quite a few for me anyway) but like Ron White said:

"I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em."

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I like that. :D

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Spoken like a true smoker... :tu

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I am a smoker , as stated previous the very tasty sticks have a hard time aging in the humi cause they get grabbed, and as stated previous if you purchase a new taste you like and grab that some of the others start collecting. I often wonder if the sticks I have will make it of a year humi time because even the October, November and December sticks I purchase are getting low to under 7 and such and summer has yet to even hit and we're only 5 months into my new found hobby.I do have some sitting hoping I have strength to let them rest to see the so called aging effect but all my sticks taste so damn good.

smoker...

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Dave, I grant you the acknowledgment that you are indeed human! :D

There! Way before 200 years! You broke the record!:r

Now, go smoke something nice!!!:tu

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Smoker, no collection to speak of yet, I buy a couple, smoke em, buy a couple more.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Smoker I dont have anything 'Special' enough to just sit in my humidor. But when I get a new box I do have a difficult time smoking the first one...something beautiful about a full box.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Smoker,
I'd like to try aging cigars, but, everything I buy seems to be gone in just a few months. The only ones that seem to get any age are an occasional single that I lose track of or a few that I've lost interest in.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I'm an acquirer in order to be a smoker. That has provided me with my collection of cigars on hand waiting to be smoked.

See, makes perfect sense. -(P

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I'm not sure. I love to smoke 'em, but I agree with Darrell--I have a hard time smoking a cigar single. If it's a box or a five-pack, I don't have trouble smoking them. Something about the idea that "when it's gone it's gone" bothers me.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Collector. Especially as of late.

However, it isn't because I mark any given stick as not to be touched, but because I saw white in my cooler and had to fill it (note: no more white to be seen. Can I tape the cigars to the lid somehow?) :D

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I'm a collector that smokes...alot. I try to buy multiple boxes of what I like in the hopes of getting some age on them, but the reality is nothing is safe from my lighter. :ss

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I like buying aged smokes (that have been properly cared for). Then I don't have to wait. Just picked up a little over a half cab of 05 PLPC's, a few 05 Cohiba coronas especiales, an 01 CoLa, and a couple 98 HU Monarcas. Can't wait until it warms up so I can enjoy them.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

collector and smoker.... I find it difficult to buy a 5 pak, it usually is the full box even if I havent tried the "stick", except for the reading of reviews and CL recommendations from fellow BOTL.
I must admit I am a sucker for a sale even if I have a few boxes of the sale cigar...cant pass that up.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I like to think I am a smoker, but until we start seeing consistent warm temps, I'm stuck as a collector. I don't really smoke in my house, so my options are limited.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I collect State Quarters and golden Presidential Dollars.
I smoke cigars.

Chemyst :cool2:

I hear that. Right now i'm in acquisition mode.

I'm a recovering "collector" who's slowly but surely amending his ways
and becoming a smoker! :tu

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

One day at a time...

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I am a smoker, but do feel sort of a sense of loss when I smoke the last cigar from from an irreplaceable box.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

If you get into the "aging thing" and stay interested in the hobby long enough, it's only natural to "put some away" to experience the natual evolution of a particular cigar/cigars as they age.

It's been 6 years since I bought my first NC. Have spent bank on vintage cigars but the vast majority of cigars I own were fresh on purchase.

My evolving theory is that there is a crossover point where the purchased vintage that I more than not smoke now evolves to smoking cigars that I have personally aged.

I guess what I'm saying is my goal is to become Derrek. :)

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

A worthy goal indeed. :)

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Probably a little bit of both.

I amass, I mean collect so I will have cheap smokes later on.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

If you were a smoker, you wouldn't need a humidor big enough to bury Gilbert Brown in!:r

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Smoker. As a University student with an infant I can't afford to collect much anyways haha. My humi is filled with various singles.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I was a collector, but now I am seeing how long I can go before buying anymore cigars. I am shooting for 18 months. With three little ones and living on one income with my wife in school and me about to go to graduate school, I can't justify spending any cash on cigars.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I collect cigars to smoke.:tu

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Considering I have enough cigars to last me 10+ years at my current pace without buying a single cigar in the meantime, I'd say I'm a collector.

I think this hobby has confirmed that I'm much like my dad. He'd start in on a new hobby and go apesh!t buying stuff in it. Maybe that's why I still have a huge collection of books/records/pocket watches of his. I would like to unload a lot of the books and vinyl though.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Smoker, but unfortunately I find myself justifying not smoking a specific cigar sometimes. More so when I only have one of them.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I'm a lil of both! I have only been smoking for a couple of years and have been fortunate enuf to come across what I think are a few good sticks that I cannot readily get again so I save instead of smoking. Waiting on that special occassion that never seems to come....lol:r

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I am definitley a smoker. Most of what I buy I end up smoking. I had around 200 or so sticks last spring and then I started smoking one a day...it didn't take long to go through them..lol. I stopped for a few months, now I just buy three or four every couple weeks. I think I'm due for a little online shopping spree...muahahahaha

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Sounds Like Me!:D Collector Of Cigars, Knives, Pens, & Golf Balls! I Do "Use" Them, But I Like Looking At Them!:tu

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

I'm a smoker, but you wouldn't know that by looking at my humidors; They're all full.

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Bragger :)

Re: Are you a collector or are you a smoker?
 

Well, your only about a 7 hr drive from me, I can gladly come down and take care of that for you...-(P
