I have enough cigars at this stage that were I to smoke one every day, it would probably take me a couple of years to get through what I have.
And yet, I want MORE! I fool myself into believing that I want/need more to age them lol. And that I'll thank myself later!
Just today I see the sales going on, and I find myself adding not only more cigars to my cart, but another Humi to store them all in.
What the heck lol?? It's a sickness...
Am I alone?
Been there, done that,got to spendy:)
It's killing me Pix :).Quote:

I know you smoke your share :). But don't you age/rest any Mike? Or do you just buy and smoke as per your "pushers" recommendations lol??Quote:

I am rather proud that's all I got. No cigars - ok, I got 10 so that shipping would be free lol. But the Nubs are on sale as well ( Cigars International), and I didn't pull the trigger on those - and I love Nubs. So I did show some restraint lol.
Hope to get them seasoned over the holidays.
As I am smoking less and less these days, maybe I can stalk one of those Meds with nothing but Liga's lol. Man I love those things.
I honestly dont buy all that many.
I buy a few , maybe 20-30 or so usually when I'm stateside and by the time i get them all gone, its time to take another trip :)
I think I have maybe 15-20 in my humi at the moment
Mike
I feel like a glutton :).Quote:

Man - I feel like a glutton even more so now. I just rotated my cigars and frankly... I need more friends lol!!
Since cigars are all unique there is no such thing as enough. If you have something big to celebrate you can start with something lighter like a CAO Gold. Then move into an Excaliber 1066 and finish up the day with a Cohiba Beehike.
It can also depend on what you ate and/or drank. A 25 year old single malt scotch needs a more sturdy cigar where drinking a "simple" beer while listening to football on the radio can take a mild/medium cigar.
You don't have enough, you are acquiring what you need, selection.
It is my personal goal that when my boys grow up and move out, I will convert one of their bedrooms into my own walk in humidor.

See, the genius keeps flowing. One small idea has now grown to include the poker room. While I am currently surviving with a small humidor that only holds about 75. Someday I would like to play with the big kids so I keep dreaming.Quote:

To everyone: enjoy the time with your families!
This is where I go when I am out your way: Outlaw Cigar - Contact PageQuote:

Outlaw cigar is a good place. One of my cousins worked there for several years and still gone in about twice a week. I am closer to the sports stadiums. I found a place in Blue Springs on 7 Hwy just off I-70 called The Cigar Merchant. Much smaller in actual size but I think they are just as nice. They have their lounge downstairs and it is usually less crowded.
I do like Outlaw when I am north of the river. I have never been to their south location yet. Just am seldomley in that area. I will have to check out the Lawrence location.
Another place is north of the airport in Weston. They have a couple of places that will hand roll with local grown leaf. It is cool to watch them pick and roll the leaf in front of you then you can sit back and enjoy a relaxing couple of hours.
It's comforting to know I'm not the only one out there with this debilitating affliction...
...I am home.
Dave,
PM me with the sales link, if you wouldn't mind.
The Ashton Cabinets were my fav...until they went to over 10.00 a stick !! So I switched to a pipe !!!!http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps54abd697.jpg
Seems perfectly normal to me David...........:shrug:
I remember driving through the Weston area and seeing the tobacco farms. I didn't realize that tobacco was grown in MO. My Dad said that in the Weston area tobacco can only be grown on farms that were grandfathered in. Anybody heard that before?Quote:

He can knock you out the humidor or custom walk in of your dreams.
This one here will hold 70 boxes or so and a hundred loose.

Grandfathered implies to me at least that they have outlawed tobacco farming in MO. Which seems a little weird to me?? So no - I haven't heard of that before. But I would die laughing if it is outlawed and they allow pot farmers in one day lol.Quote:

Weird??
Thanks for the heads up.Quote:

I tell you what though Bob, if I get a need for more, I think I might just open up a cigar shop of my own. I'll call your friend Bob to help design the shop... that said, a walk in of my own... drool :).
