Getting bored...

[Salvelinus]

Do you think that it is the "collecting" side of cigars that you are tired of?

A pal that I worked with until a few weeks ago brought over a few cuban rounds from a local reservation a few weeks back (<--- read cheap smokes). Wasn't the best smoke I'd ever had but the chance to sit around and catch up after not hanging out for a few weeks made the experience excellent. I guess I could have sat there without a cigar and enjoyed the chatter, but the cigar added an extra bit of enjoyment.

If you were here, I'd make YOU smoke an ACID just for suggesting it...

That's exactly what I think it is. Since the release of the Daisy Cutters (how many months ago was that?), I've picked up a total of 8 boxes of cigars, not including another $300 on a NC collection buy out and some aged CC singles...which we'll round up to another 3 boxes worth. So...11 boxes x 25 per box = 275 cigars give or take. Yeah...I've kind of been out of control.
I guess what really put me over the edge, was when I picked up a couple of handfuls of singles recently, and saw what additional cash I was spending on top of the financial hemorrhaging of the past few months. That's probably why I started getting pissy lately about $10+ singles. I think I need to just not buy anymore cigars for a little while. Except for the Padron 46's when I get the word they're in...

Hey klipsch,
I'm new here, but have been around a while on several boards. Chasing the HTF cigars is great; what's better is finding a single cigar you really like for the long term. When you find this cigar, or cigars, it is not at all uncommon to buy 10 boxes , or 5-6 cabs, to put away to age.

The HTF's come and go. You'll never have a lasting relationship with them, you'll just bounce from one to the next at the producers' whims.

Find your core favorites and stock up, because as expensive as cigars are, they'll never be cheaper than they are now.

All the Best,
Mark
