nikesupremedunk Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Had to take out all my boxes last night and I had to ask myself "When the heck did I buy all these cigars?" It was hard for me to grasp how many cigars I had when they were tucked away in storage. When I laid them all down in front of me, it kind of hit me that I have way more cigars than I need. (Want is different story though, lol) Now it's time for me to go and enjoy them and take a long break from buying more sticks!
Dbone Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 It's not a problem, I can stop whenever I want. Yeah right...
riazp Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 LOL I reliased the same thing a few months back, havent bought a box in months, and not smoking as much anymore. I dont see myself buying any cigars till fall...
Puros Y Vino Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I'm in the same boat. I look at what I've purchased over the past four years and just shake my head. BUT!! I made a conscious decision to buy while I can afford to buy and am "permitted" to buy. And by permitted I mean the gov't getting more intrusive and restrictive on tobacco. So far things have gone well. I dread the day when our post office has the logistical prowess to check every single box.
Ophidion Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I realized this when I got to my third humidor so I have been selling off all my NCs so I can cut my collection back (as well as its footprint in my apartment) and reinvest into sticks I have to stock up on. The first few years of my collecting was nothing but trying new stuff. I know what I like now and I'm just going to stock up on that.
neilbrace Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I check on my stockpile from time to time and I always find out that my put aside cigars is short. And finally no more wondering I found out that I have sleep smoking trouble, I hope that no one have the same problem. Keep them lit my friends,
nikesupremedunk Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 Frank you make a good point. I do believe sometime in the future things will get way out of hand with tobacco laws especially in NY, and wish I could save up as much as I can. If it wasn't due to lack of storage, I'd probably continue to keep buying though. I'm completely maxed out at a little over 200 sticks.
asmith Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Thats not that bad a problem. I hate it when you go to your humidor and ask where the hell did all my cigars go? I was sure I had more damn it I have been drinking then smoking again and can't remember how many I had smoked. Time to buy some more.
Rye Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Space will always be a bigger problem than volume for me. It's tough being "Bat-****-crazy" over RE's!
anthem Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I downloaded an app for my iphone. You can keep stock of your cigars on this app. I've put in my full boxes from one of my coolers + what I have in my FoH online cigar locker. Next I will update my other cooler and my humidors for partial boxes and singles. This will be a nice way of knowing exactly what I have and what I don't
khamy Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 What a great problem to have and i hope you continue to have it for many more months. I'm only at that part of my journey where the exploration has slowed down a tad (just a smidgeon) and i've started investing in the first few boxes of replacement 'go to' cigars. As to facing the same problem you have, i suspect this is more a long term goal for me then an issue.
Ophidion Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I'm going through the stock up now before they are gone phase. RACF, bgm are my top buys. I just add a box of either to every order I make so I can keep stocked.
Rushman Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Good problem, wallet accommodating that is. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=20.630124,-87.069853

Sounds like you're taking TOO much advice and mentoring from Rob!
LLC Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I keep telling myself I'll stop buying for a while because i have more than enough and then find myself buying again. Can you really ever have enough
maverickdrinker Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I buy, then have to add another wine cooler for storage and then ask the wife for forgiveness. LOL
nikesupremedunk Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 Darn it. The day I make this post, Rob puts up saying that Cohiba 1966's are going to be d/c'ed. I need them but I have no room!! First world problems...
CanuckSARTech Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I buy, then have to add another wine cooler for storage and then ask the wife for forgiveness. LOL 'Tis better and far easier to ask for forgiveness, rather than permission.
Ophidion Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Darn it. The day I make this post, Rob puts up saying that Cohiba 1966's are going to be d/c'ed. I need them but I have no room!! First world problems... You can make room for Cohiba 1966s also, els are generally discontinued after a year so it shouldn't be a huge shocker.
Ghabanos Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Darn it. The day I make this post, Rob puts up saying that Cohiba 1966's are going to be d/c'ed. I need them but I have no room!! First world problems... I know right? How can I resist? Btw. Your problem get magnified if using the online humidor. I don't even see my boxes and I am really afraid to count em...
