Smoker...

CoreyD · 03-22-2011, 04:26 PM

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

kgoings · 03-22-2011, 06:23 PM

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.

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.

rizzle · 03-23-2011, 08:55 AM

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.

I seriously have trouble getting to any singles that were gifts! I usually save them for a special occasion or a herf, where I can express my appreciation.

I enjoy an average of five cigars per week. I find collecting boxes difficult. Once they are open, they're gone.

03-23-2011, 10:38 AM

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.

CasaDooley · 03-23-2011, 11:03 AM

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.

Apoco · 03-23-2011, 11:02 AM

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?)

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.

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.

I'm a recovering "collector" who's slowly but surely amending his ways
and becoming 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.

Chemyst · 03-23-2011, 07:42 PM

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

Probably a little bit of both.

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