It's tough to turn down a good deal when you come across one,thats for sure. And if I have to do so due to lack of humi space I am going to kick myself. I guess I have some tuperware as back up for now.

Taxes suck.

I got one exactly like that from the devil site a few years ago. Of course, being a devotee of the selfsame devil site at the time, it was full before it actually arrived, since it took a few weeks to arrive, and in the meantime, thinking I would have a lot of space to fill, I kept bidding on cigars. After that cabinet arrived, I liked it so much I bought another just like it.

Cigars follow a law similar to expenses - your cigar supply will expand to exceed whatever storage you install, just like expenses will expand to exceed your income. I can tell you all about how I planned to beat the S-Chip tax all along (which I did) by buying about ten thousand sticks (which I did) but OCD is a better explanation.

Now I just hope I live long enough to smoke 'em all.

Get a son, pass them down after you die.

Thankfully, in three years of this madness I have managed to keep my collection at around 200 cigars, and try to limit it at that amount. I helps that I smoke only occaisonally during the winter, so that is my stock up time for summer smoking. Its a constant battle, but by only buying bundles instead of boxes makes it much easier for sure!!
