Cigars: Collecting and Smoking

[Marlboro Cigars]

You have to collect before you can smoke em.

Dave should know, his wall-a-dor is the humidor equivalent to Mt. Everest!

This is a beautiful analogy.

I always think of this quote when someone brings up 'collecting' cigars.

"I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em."
-Ron White

The addiction for me is buying and collecting...I love smoking 'em just as much but I buy them much faster than I smoke 'em

I, of course, love smoking cigars as it has been said "cigars are for smoking", however, I also have come to enjoy collecting cigars. I get a substantial amount of joy by just opening up the humi and seeing those little beauties stacked up neatly inside. Thoughts?

I love that quote

I also buy more than what I smoke. I have been collecting too many of the "special occasion" smokes, it's time to smoke the expensive stuff.

I love opening up the humidor and see those ripe little guys laying there ready to be plucked. My problem is that it takes me a few minutes to figure out which one I want to smoke and when!

I've been out of the loop for quite some time, but am now starting to get back into it. My humidor is almost empty now, with the only contents being one Camacho Diploma and one CAO Brazilia, but I have a box of el cobres on the way, and I am thinking about venturing over to Cbid here in a bit to see what I can find.

I'm sure you need no warning -- but I'll give one anyway. Be careful with The Devil Site!

Agreed. Someday I hope to ski down my mountain of cigars. But until then, I'll just keep trying to jam more boxes into my Aristocrat.
