Hello my name is Kirk, and I am a fullboxoholic

kgoings · 03-25-2010, 02:47 PM

They say admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Well here we go. I am a fullboxoholic. I have trouble taking that first cigar from a full box. When I go to grab a smoke, I will almost always goto my singles or boxes that are not full. I don't know what it is that stops me from breaking up a box. For instance I purchased and traded for a couple boxes that were like 23/25 or 20/25 and I had no problem digging into those and burning right through those boxes. But the full ones, 25/25....can't do it. I know cigars are made to be smoked. Maybe its the collector in me? I don't know.

Am I doomed?

Are you currently being medicated for OCD or anything?

Herf at your place Kirk? Everyone can help you by taking a cigar out of one of your full boxes, thereby ending your problems.

Yeah, what are friends for anyway?

I have the same problem. It must be something in the air in Arizona. At least we have a support structure here. Another problem I have is that if I am down to my last cigar, I never want to smoke it thinking they will never make another batch like that.

Oh hell no Kirk,I smoke them.No box or cab is safe around me

I'll be the third to volunteer to take a cigar out each of those fresh boxes, just to help a brother out, so you are able to dig in and enjoy the rest.

Not to worry - I saw a show called "hoarder" the other day.

You haven't described any like symptoms.

Carry on.

I second that

macsauce13 · 03-25-2010, 04:14 PM

I'm with you...I only have a box or two total, but it is not easy to pull out that first one!

RightAJ · 03-25-2010, 04:35 PM

Lol I know what you mean, but I usually end up smoking them... Can't enjoy the flavor through your eyes!

akumushi · 03-25-2010, 06:17 PM

I always take pictures of boxes I know I may never get ahold of again, that way I can have my box and smoke it too.

gnukfu · 03-25-2010, 07:17 PM

I'm the opposite. I get a box and have to open it right away and smoke one stick before I put the box away.

But I typically torcher myself for three weeks or more before I allow myself the first one. Typically this results in a "

" I should have waited a month longer.

me too

shilala · 03-25-2010, 07:44 PM

I don't have a problem until there's one or two left in the first row. A weird thing comes over me like the whole box is gone and I think I need another box.
So at least I can smoke five or six before I go mental.
In ten count boxes, I can only smoke about three.
I have no explanation, don't ask.
