Stages of a cigar smoker

[[OT] Loki]

I started at stage 2

looks like someone is in denile
j/k

i'm at stage 11. only smoking aged havanna's. have many boxes in storage ageing. mega bucks spent so far. contemplating a built in temp. and humidity controlled closet.

I am hopeless but, with dignity I have surpassed all of the stages listed since this thread was first posted and,...sniff, have created a few of my own, although I draw the line at smoking "old stogies I have found...short but not too big around"

I guess I am really behind...I don't have a humidor or a coolordor or whatever it is called. I also use a zippo! I don't use a cigar cutter or a draw poker but a metal kebob skewer if needed. I don't even really have an ashtray...just a plate. I save my butts in the freezer to smoke in the pipe! I guess I am just too "blue collar" for the Afficionados!! I still seek questions on who supplies Thompson's. Never smoked an Opus X and live in the Ozarks like a hillbillly! Jesse James was buried somewhere in this state. Bonnie and Clyde were in the area....but that has nothing to do with what stage I am at. I am just getting settled in.

I went from stage 2 to stage 4-5 in less than a week thanks to this forum

Was never at stage 1, haven't smoke a cigarette in my life.

I suppose I did smoke a philly blunt, but I was drunk and there were naked women around me. I couldn't say no.

Currently inbetween 5-6. Haven't bought a box yet, but am contemplating purchasing an Xikar. Also dabbling in step 9 (might need a coolerdor for college, because, y'know, buying in bulk is cheap...yeah...that's it).

Blast from the past......

[burnsco]

Well mine didn't go like that at all because I was taken in as a cigar apprentice by a seasoned veteran. Started smoking padron, ashton and all types of good cubans right off the bat. So to me, my progression went

1) buy singles here and there
2) get a coolidor and buy boxes constantly

LOL just messin around. See the part about buying Cubans in the wts section?? Those were the good ol days... LOL

Yeah.. I came in on that tail end of that... would see the random $100 sampler that would be done in like 2 minutes.

What about the 'any box pass' .. remember those?

want to split a box of Randy Allen's Shoe Shine boxes?

Oh yea baby that brings back some memories. Notice my 104 trader feedback I hosted a few of the box splits back in the day.

Then some bone heads decided to buy up the specials from certain vendors and sell them on here for a profit and it went to hell after that....

I'd say I'm between 5 and 6, I'm hoping to find a "source" fairly soon

[mrsmitty]

Haven't found a "source" yet but other then that I'm sure it won't take to much longer and I'll be trading on 6.
