Popular Post BellevilleMXZ Posted September 11, 2018 Popular Post Posted September 11, 2018 Having only started getting a good collection going when joining here in dec 16, did a count/catalog tonight and I am up to roughly 550. Wow, I can hardly believe it. Didn't think I would ever go in this hard....what a great hobby. What a great forum to learn on! ? Celebrating with a great PSP #4 Monte, that I had forgot I had bought a box of. 14
dowjr1 Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Yes I forget some of my purchases as well. I have a spreadsheet now. 1
Islandboy Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 I know what you mean. The collection I’ve amassed in just a few short years kinda blows me away. My wife, on the other hand, is not nearly as impressed as I am. 1 1 1

But in all seriousness, I have also started using a spreadsheet to keep everything straight and it helps me when I want to order I can take a quick look and frequently I see I have a lot of what I am about to order..... 2
Vortigan Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 I understand entirely! I started out with a 50 count cheap humidor and now currently sit on a 150 count desktop for NC and four 50 quart coolers...only a couple of boxes short of needing a 5th! I keep making the decision to have an open ended moratorium on buying, given my pretty infrequent smoking, but as someone famously once said, "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in" 2

MountainMilG Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 I was on the Aristocrat website last night, again. Trying to convince myself that surely 40 boxes would last me a couple of years, again. Right? I mean I want the MXT, who doesn't ... but, I can justify just spending a bit now, and certainly I won't fill it that quickly like everyone says ... Two boxes on 24:24 later, friend coming back from Havana with some for me, and me planning a trip there in Nov. Yeah, maybe I need to look at the MXT Plus lol 1
PapaDisco Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Ha! You know you're a well stocked collector when you start forgetting cigars! They make for a wonderful surprise though, and before you know it everything is 5 years old or better! 1
Derboesekoenig Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 I know how you feel. I went from just a few lone boxes in May/June of this year, and now I lost count. Somewhere between 125-160 boxes easy. Scared to do an official count. Instantly filled 2 med/lg sized wine coolers, and will have filled the Aristocrat soon enough. Oh well. The next 5 years are looking bright lol 2

presa_dad Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 It really is amazing how fast a collection starts to grow out of control. I was keeping a spreadsheet for awhile, but stopped keeping up on it. Now it's always a surprise when I go rummaging through my humidors. 1

How I look forward to the day when I can say the same thing! 2

It is out of my nature but I have been keeping up with adding boxes but I don't worry about the partial boxes which will eventually be a problem... 2

Popular Post BarryVT Posted September 18, 2018 Popular Post Posted September 18, 2018 Yeh they add up fast, especially if you use my technique, I buy a box every time my wife buys a pair of shoes.☺️ 6
Boozebag Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 I went from buying a few singles, to buying a few boxes, and now I have almost more "in the wind" than I have in my humidor. I still have some smoking to do.. what a lucky problem. 1
Popular Post BuzzArd Posted September 19, 2018 Popular Post Posted September 19, 2018 I remember way back when I hit 550 boxes.... Wish I were back there again. This is starting to get ridiculous. ? 3 2
