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?
 

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

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.

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. :)
