OCD + CS = Trouble

[Little General]

Some people call this a hobby, I'm beginning to wonder. It's only been 2 months and I just filled my first humi w/singles. Not only is it filled, everything is tagged and logged.

I see it as a choice, I choose to devote my time to this. It does not control my actions. I try to explain to the wife that everyone with a humi checks it at least twice a day. They also spend hours every night organizing, labeling and logging every stick they smoke. They also have a few gallons of dist. water & assorted spray bottles laying around the kitchen. They spend hours searching the web for reviews and opinions on the best smoke and who has the latest deals. The are obligated to stop at every B&M to just "Check it out". They...


OK I admit it...

Hello my name is Dave and I am addicted to cigars..

[CHRONO14]

DA DA DA DA Another one bites the dust. Welcome. Just wait till your really getting going down the slope. All of a sudden when once a 100ct desktop was more than enough, your contemplating a cabinet humi, or a vinotemp, or multiple coolers. Hell why not build your own closet humi, maybe even a full walk in room. See where this is going. I've been wanting an aristocrat for months. Finally gave in and bought a mini which I thought was more than enough and then magically it was full before I got it in. Now I'm just saving up for an aristocrat M-25D. Its looking like this has finally went from intermediate bunny slope to a black diamond run.

2 months?
Man, that slope is butt ugly for you.
You are in serious trouble but in a good way.
Glad to have you on board.
One more addict amongst many.

Thank you,

It has looked better but I smoked all but 1 of my PAMs. I'm getting a vino next month to mainly control the temp (and so I can start buying boxes, don't tell the wife).

You cigars look like my cigars... I love your labels sir. How did you stick them on, I use tape right now... but I plan to try pectin as soon (thanks to My731 for putting some in the mail for me)

I used the normal cigar bands I found here on CS. Then I imported my database to an MS word template and laser printed them on some small avery labels. Even at 68%RH the are holding up great...

The Avery address labels can help hold the band on if you wrap the band right.

That for two months in.

Oh Boy...you are on your way for sure.

I can only imagine what you will be like in six months time.

Nice collection there.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

I am curious to what you put on the printed labels, name of smoke and date you bought it or date put in humidor?

After looking at your collection after 2 months, i feel alot better about what I "thought" was becoming a problem for me.

Normally the date purchased is the day she goes in to the humi. If it was gifted I try to get the orig date and put both the day it was bought and the day it goes in.

Here's what one label looks like

Ashton
Aged Maduro #15
3/21/08
Holts (In Philly) $3.50

That sounds like something I would do, Mr. Organized that I am

I know it seems you are going a little overboard right now but if you follow in the footsteps of many before you, you will notice after time that you find some favorites and will start scaling down the number of brands you buy to make room for sticks that really strike your fancy. I'd say for 2-months into it, you are about right on track.
