A simple observation - Page 3

Matt-N-Ga · 08-30-2010, 06:51 PM

I actually ran into this exact question the other day. I ran into someone wanting a specific HTF sitck that I had a box of. He offered a cash/trade deal. I almost didn't accept because I kept wanting to hold these cigars for a special time. I finally realized that the deal he was making included some sticks I may never again get the chance to smoke, so I made the deal. I've decided that if I'm not gonna smoke them soon, then let someone else have them, for the right price of course....

That's why I've been saving it my brother! I can only get the gas station Optimos, Phillies and Backwoods around here.

Hey... I say, "Go Grape, or go home!"

As to the OP...

I smoke cigars because I enjoy it. If someone finds enjoyment in collecting them, then more power to them!
Not my place to pi$$ in their sand box.

Time to light up a nice cigar.

Why Tom? WHY? Why did you have to shatter my world like that? I thought we were friends....

I have nothing now. You've taken it all away.

Life is so hollow and meaningless now.

Maybe I can drink myself though this pain you've caused me.

I'm going out for a 40 of Camo Ice, a bottle of MD20/20 Blue Raspberry and a grape swisher sweet.

If anything happens to me IT'LL BE ON YOUR CONSCIENCE MISTER!

I am going to hold my breath until you finish all 3, Adam.

Now that's a trio we all need to see consumed!

Pictures, nothing! This needs to be recorded in video form!

I can see it now... it's got "Reality Show" written all over it:

"Life with T.G"

I have every day smokes, and I have special weekend smokes. If I make it to the weekend, I treat myself; since I'm still alive, I make it to the weekend pretty often.

But to be a little more serious, my milestone smokes were very nonchalant. My first cigar? Random walk in the park. My first Cuban? While I was work on Facebook. What I think is, that the occasion makes the cigar rather than the vice-versa. For instance, my wedding smoke was what I considered one of my daily smokes, yet is now my favorite cigar because of the memories associated with it.

Ultimately, although I "collect," every one of the cigars in my stash will meet it's end in a fiery, violent death, by my hand or those of my friends.

Is this one of those 'How many things can you find wrong with this picture' posts?

I bet if you dipped it in the BBQ, let it dry, and then smoked it; it would make for a slightly less horrific experience.

Of course you would use the beer to chase each puff...

I was holding some cigars (Padron 80 Year Anniversary Maduro) for special events and like others found myself with a box of unsmoked cigars.

What I decided to do is revise my notion of "special". Sometimes a nice Sunday afternoon is special. Or, having an after-dinner smoke with my son.

Life's too short...

The only ones I hold are the super-premiums (i.e. Opus X type) that I have yet to try. I let them rest until I have a time where I can really focus on the stick. Once I've done that... any others are fair game at any given moment based on what I want at the time.
