Re: How do you moderate?
Well, being still at the beginning of the slope I guess I have it easier in that "this train isn't a run-away yet, so its easy to apply the brakes". My current method is: acquire singles from either samplers, B&Ms or trades/gifts. Try the singles. If I like one, it gets put into the list of cigars I would like to have a couple more of. Then, I acquire them either through focused trades, complex boxsplits (multi-boxes, multi-people) or purchasing online 5'ers. The goal is to get 5-8 cigars of each type I like. Any cigars I have of a particular type over and beyond 5-8 cigars are up for trade-out/gifting. Any singles I have are for trade-out on a discretional basis.
I guess this is the method I use to ensure that I don't get out of control. I placed these measures in action early as I did see the great potential to lose perspective early. That being said, I am already at 2 humis full, a 30ct pelican case like-case full, and am in the midst of accessorizing/altering an actual pelican case to act as a humidor. I guess my "brakes" are only slowing my descent down the slope. Cheers Cyanide |

Re: How do you moderate?
I just buy what I like. For NCs, I have a half-dozen or so smokes that always seem to go first, regardless of what is in my humi. So I smoke those until I finish the box. Then I buy more. For CCs, it's a different story, gotta buy to age, and I've not really gotten into that so much. I seem to buy, smoke NCs until the CCs are ready, smoke the CCs, then buy more, only to find I need to age again... I need a better system and more storage.

 Seriously, money is the biggest reason for cutting back on purchases, for me!!!

But I still seem to buy a LOT of cigars withought taking to much grief. I just bought a house, so I think that will suck up my excess budget, and end my crazy purchases...For a little while anyways.
