They say admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Well here we go. I am a fullboxoholic. I have trouble taking that first cigar from a full box. When I go to grab a smoke, I will almost always goto my singles or boxes that are not full. I don't know what it is that stops me from breaking up a box. For instance I purchased and traded for a couple boxes that were like 23/25 or 20/25 and I had no problem digging into those and burning right through those boxes. But the full ones, 25/25....can't do it. I know cigars are made to be smoked. Maybe its the collector in me? I don't know.

Am I doomed?

I have the same problem. It must be something in the air in Arizona. At least we have a support structure here. Another problem I have is that if I am down to my last cigar, I never want to smoke it thinking they will never make another batch like that.

I'll be the third to volunteer to take a cigar out each of those fresh boxes, just to help a brother out, so you are able to dig in and enjoy the rest. :tu

Not to worry - I saw a show called "hoarder" the other day.

You haven't described any like symptoms.

Carry on.

I always take pictures of boxes I know I may never get ahold of again, that way I can have my box and smoke it too.

I'm the opposite. I get a box and have to open it right away and smoke one stick before I put the box away.

I don't have a problem until there's one or two left in the first row. A weird thing comes over me like the whole box is gone and I think I need another box.
So at least I can smoke five or six before I go mental.
In ten count boxes, I can only smoke about three.
I have no explanation, don't ask.

You can come up here on sabbatical. Be glad to take you fishing. Show you some beautiful scenery up here - no mountains or big holes in the ground - but different part of God's country.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

If it is a fairly common cigar, no issues, smoke them all day... If it is something like a flying pig, tat black tubos, etc, I tend to hoard them!

I'm a "smoke 'em if you got 'em" type guy - although I do experience some hesitation when the box gets low, or when the first layer is gone.

I think I shall be brave like King Arthur and pull the sword from the stone (remove a cigar from the box) and free up that box of Mag50's I have been drooling over.

I'm the opposite. I get a box and have to open it right away and smoke one stick before I put the box away.

:tpd: But I typically torcher myself for three weeks or more before I allow myself the first one. Typically this results in a ":hm" I should have waited a month longer.

Let me know if you need any help with those Mag 50's. Poker?

I'm the opposite. When I get a box, I can't wait to smoke one. I'll be in Phoenix toward the end of April. Glad to help. . . bring your full boxes! :)

I always buy two boxes so I don't feel guilty breaking open the first box. It is definately a difficult thing when cracking that box open for the first time. Equally stressful when you are getting close to the end. I, too, save a fiver from the box for reference points later in the future.

I have gone to the two box buy as well on most buys that are recommended by BOTLs that I trust their taste. I still have a problem with breaking into boxes though. I figure when I am done with the stuff I have open I will break into them.
