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....

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.

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!

Default Re: A simple observation

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.

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.
