Hoarder......or..........collector.......? I’ll go with collector, though I am cognizant that it is an extremely thin line for me. I have far too many cigars and marketing works better on me than perhaps on most. Call it limited, tell me that it’s the best of its kind or that the quality is so good it’s unlikely to be repeated for a generation.....I’m hook line and sinker. I love collecting and cigars, scotch and wine use very similar marketing tactics, all devastatingly effective on me. This paired with my genuine fear of running out, wether it be a particularly good vintage of cabernet, a bottle of single cask scotch or a box of Por Llaranaga robustos, if I buy one, I don’t want to finish it and regret not having more! The solution for me is to buy more than one....which leads to storage issues.......which is a conversation for a different thread.
If I find a cigar I like, i go deep, if it’s something I’m afraid I’ll miss out on I’ll go deeper! I try to buy high quality boxes of well reviewed (on FOH) cigars by the two’s with cigars that I know and love in larger quantities at bi annual intervals so that I can smoke 5 year old versions of my favorites while the youth works its way out of the newer boxes.
Thanks for the psychotherapy in advance!
