Default Re: For those of you with 300 or more sticks

I pretty much know what I'm after before I even open a humi or cooler.
The odd surprise find while playing tetris, now that is a sweet thing.

I just post random polls asking other people who don't know me, what I like or what mood I'm in to decide for me.

I go with my cravings and usually pick a cigar before opening the humi; however, after the humi is opened, I will get sidetracked by other good smokes and more often than not come out with more than 1 smoke.

I usually have a fishing rod with some decent bait attached. I throw it and see which one bites.

Like Bob, time often dictates size for what I choose. Besides that, it varies. Sometimes I go to the humi with a decision on a specific stick made, sometimes I go with a marca but not a vitola in mind, and sometimes I just open it up and look around until looks good.

Definitely the Godzilla, nothing sounds more badass than Godzilla. You even got your own Tatuaje !?!! Let me guess limited edition only 1 box made, you can buy 1 single cigar if you buy 3 boxes of Godzilla and the limited Godzilla ST. Dupont Maxi Jet for $500.

I have maybe 100 sticks since I've cut way back. So, it's not really difficult to figure something out. I smoke mostly Perdomos, RP's, a few Hammer and Sickle Berlin Walls. Maybe a 5 Vegas A every now and then.

Default Re: For those of you with 300 or more sticks

I agree with tom. Exactly how I make up my mind too. Either I know the stick I'm going for, or I know a certain marca I'm going to smoke. It could even be as general as cc or nc. Or I just know I want to smoke a cigar, and start digging to see what I want.

Haven't done a hard count, but I hope I'm over 300. Been smoking way more than buying lately.

Default Re: For those of you with 300 or more sticks

Usually when I decide to fire one up, I already have an idea of what I want. Might be based on size, maybe profile, but generally I've already made a subconscious decision.

I keep a small 50 count on my desk full of samples from whatever boxes I'm smoking from. If for some reason I'm just not sure, I rummage through it.

Once in a great while, when I want some NC tobaccy, I to go to the mystery NC humidor. That's a 350 count that for years I've been tossing random NCs into. Hell if I know what's in there. If I remember right, the last two I pulled out were a Diamond Crown Maximus and a Padron Ambassador. Always a surprise in that one!

Tom - go for the Tat Weasle.

Default Re: For those of you with 300 or more sticks

You know, what's funny is I know exactly what I"m going to smoke before I open my cabinet. Sometimes it happens on the drive home, other times I'll be working away and I'll think; "....yeah, a cigar sounds good. Which one? Hmm, well I could have one of these, or one of those..." and once I make my mind up, I'd done. When I get to the humi, the choice is usually made....

Default Re: For those of you with 300 or more sticks

I own a good number of sticks. Well over 300 but oddly enough I am like Rainman when it comes to my cigars and pretty much know what I have and where each stick is located all in my head. I will forget about a hidden gem or two from time to time but for the most part I know what I have. Most often I usually go into the cabinet or humis knowing what I am looking for while once in a blue moon I will just open one of the humis up and see what calls out to me.
My apologies for bringing this thread back on topic.
