I regret not listening to the masses and buying small humidors. First a 20 ct, then a 100 ct, then another 100 ct, somewhere in the middle 2 ~30ct tupperdors... now I'm planning on converting a steamer trunk into a humidor

My biggest regret was buying from Thompsons when I first started.
My second biggest was smoking their house blends.

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't know which one would be #1 and #2. But the current #2 on the list tasted like #2.

Far too many...

- Not buying more Monte Mili jars at CHF 500
- Not buying more II Festival Marevas at $275 per box
- Not buying more LFDC Coronas at $130 per box
- Not buying those other 4 boxes of 1992 CoRos for <$500 each back in 2001
- Passing on that intact cab of 1980s Lusitanias
- Passing on those boxes of Super Coronas in LCDH Aruba
- Dunhill Atados for $32 per stick...and only buying 20 of them
- Letting Allan snag that box of 1970s Romeo Casa Reales out from under me
- Habanos 1994s at GBP 2000 per humidor back in 2001...who knew?
...and many, many more!

Absolutely agree. Why didn't I find the internet before jumping in....

I regret not getting more PBP's and not having a bigger budget!

- Not branching out from the main cigar brands ealier. (turns out there is a lot more out there besides A.Fuente and Ashton)

- Placing too much faith on other peoples reviews/opinions instead of just buying the stick and trying it for myself.
