I need an intervention. real soon

So I got an email this morning that I won a dutch auction at jr. 20 half coronas. Should fill out my small humidor to the max.
But then I go ahead and add about 150 dollars to the order, to obtain some brands on which I dont have any yet. Specifically punch, cohiba, acid(I have an extra small humidor waiting just for acid), etc.
I just couldnt help myself. Help me, Ive fallen and I cant get up.

Much regards Jerry

Re: I need an intervention. real soon

I agree, the community needs to join together and start an intervention.

First step confront...You have now been confronted
Second step take all smokes from you so you can't smoke anymore
Third step tell you we took them because we care about you


First step complete, now it is time to hand the sticks over

At this point it would be hard to hand over. Even though my catalogue of cigars I have is small, you will still need a small handtruck, or have some very strong arms. I am up to about 5 large humidors at this point(mostly 125 count size, and mostly 3/4 filled) A few smaller 25-40 count ones, will be all filled in a few days, and a box or two or my dailys around . Plus a small humidor in my truck.
I have just one more humidor I want to get and then need to fill it............help , help , help,

Much regards Jerry

Re: I need an intervention. real soon

I don't understand it either. I have enough cigars to last me......well, a long dang time! I've only been at this for a year and a half and I have 3 humi's and a cooler. They are all FULL! But, I still find myself looking for deals and even going to my local shop. It's not like I have cash to burn either. It's weird for sure. There must be some collecting aspect to this in my subconscious, becasue I only smoke 2-3 sticks per week.

Re: I need an intervention. real soon

If we have an intervention and stop buying cigars, CI and famous will be going down. We all buy probably way too many cigars

You don't need intervention, you need a larger humidor.
Not another 150ct box, a coolerdor or IKEAdor.

Or smoke faster

Re: I need an intervention. real soon

I am quickly running into this same boat as well.

There is something about the collecting that just seems to be so much fun though.

Best regards, tony

Re: I need an intervention. real soon

16 orders or shipment confirmations waiting to be cleared out of my inbox...all of this after I decided last week, that I was finished ordering this stuff until I could smoke some kind of a dent into my stash. I haven't dented it at all, it's bulging to the point of explosion!

I feel your pain.

WHEW! What a relief. I feared that I was the only one. Less than a year in & I don't really smoke that much but if I see a deal I have a compulsion to buy. Got 4 humidors (150, 100, 50 & 20 count stuffed full). I am stopping there darn it! Not gonna buy a cooler! Really, I mean it...................yeah.........
