How many cigars in your possession? For the VERY sick folk

[poker]

Ok, I got a few folks who wanted to see who was seriously neck deep in a buying spree, who has more cigars than some B&M's, or in a nut shell...who was truly out of control.

This has possibilities of being really eye opening to the new guys :r

Same as before, voting in the poll will be anonymous. Even if you voted in the other one, you can vote again here if you fit within the scale.

Have fun & try to be honest ( I know you all are honest. :r)

[dwoodward]

I don't see any poll but I have about 60 cigars in my 300ct humidor.

[bonjing]

I'm not very sick :sad








yet :D:pn

[kelmac07]

Just finished counting...1132 sticks!!! I don't have a problem!! :r :r :r

[kydsid]

I know of at least two people who can vote on the last option and one who has more than your limit. need to call em and make em vote. :r

Can you ever have too many? You can buy too many. But can you ever really have too many? :D

100,000 cigars is like 4,000 boxes of 25. *gag*

[M1903A1]

I did an inventory of my cigars once, and immediately recognized that no sane person would ever have so many cigars.

I realized there was only one right, sensible thing to do.



I have never counted them since!

[croatan]

I like this poll. Posting in it reminds me of the first time AllanB came to my house, opened my humidor, looked at the couple hundred boxes in there and said: "Oh, well you're not that sick! This isn't so bad." :r

[Goldie]

I would like an option for people with sub 1000 in their possession.

And P.S. - I would like ot see pictures of anyone with 100,000+ smokes.

You did specify that these were only the cigars in your possession and not the ones being stored in the vendor's humi!

Dave - if I recall correctly you have a 48"+ like I do. Are you saying it's half empty? Do you need cigars? :D

...I don't even have the sniffles haha

[BlackDog]

Without counting I'm reasonably sure I make the first level. But about 15% of those are deliriously low-end cigars from THAT place.

I counted last night and I just barely snuck in with the sick folks... yay for those who ride the short bus, yay...

Those are just crazy, crazy numbers! I'm in the 300-500 range and feel pretty good about that number, but could easily see nearing 700-1000 if I had more storage...lots of cheaper boxes I'd like to buy for everyday smokes that would add up pretty quickly.

Holy crap, I wish I hadn't counted them all now. That's it, I'm not buyiny any more cigars.

Hahaha... I just read this.

I got another one and it's filled. :r

Didn't change what my cabinet looks like, though, I got the boxes behind the visible ones in there.

[ylo2na]

When I first began, I really got caught up with the auctions and was buying things I had no clue or idea what they were like. I just bid on them because I wanted cigars....(need to examine that statement). Then I found myself doing all sorts of crazy things to win the bids.. would stay up late and put in the last bid one minute before it closed, got ticked at the guy who would always bid me up and I tried to outbid them, (did this many times), and would always try to buy that new cigar everyone was talking about whether it fit my palate-profile or not. I rarely bought a 5 pack or sampler, but, opted for a bundle or box, sometimes two of each or more. I have tamed down and bid very little now or buy very little. Hell, I have just about everything and no where to put new boxes or bundles, unless I build a larger walk-in and that aint going to happen. I must admit, though, am a sucker for 10% or 20% off on sticks especially if I dont have too many of that brand. In another thread, I posted am always looking for $1 stick, so that still stays with me. Cusano lower end prices for sticks, CC, M1, MC, P1's, and Alec Bradley's Spirit of Cuba are the latest. Even with all that said, Free Cuba at $1. a bundle of 50 for $50 at CI is the best for me.

Ummm more storage Matt? You're the guy that bought somebody's display humidor that was full a few months back! I beg to differ that your 3-500 is
probably 1000-1500!:noon

[Pat1075]

around 1200

[elderboy02]

I have a real-time inventory now :)

I created a Google spreadsheet so that as soon as I smoke one, I can deduct them from my inventory from my phone. I have every cigar and every size listed. I am starting to put in values so that I know what my collection is worth.

Wow, talk about small time, im in the about 20-50 range these days. Ill be a real boy one day like you guys. Happy Smoking.

man before i found this site i didn't even know what a humidor was...now i'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a waxing moon humi AND an aristocrat because i can't fit anything else in my 100 count...not to mention i like to show off my treasures...

i've probably smoked like 25 cigars in the past year and always buy in batches of 5 or more to justify smoking 1...i'm sure i'll be "sick" in a few years from now...since the humis are for my singles purchases and i want an aristocrat so i can start to purchase some boxes of the singles i know i really like...

[BFallehy]

I love this thread, and it definatly needs some pictures. Well that is mostly so whenever my girlfriend tells me I have enough cigars I can just pull up this thread and show her that I in fact have too few cigars and need more. :r:r

Holy crap! I am pure rook and with the boxes coming back from cuba I will be at 60-70...

Yeah, and when you do, that is all it will take. That's what happened to me years ago. I have around 600 - 800. All I need to keep me interested. I spend around a grand a year now that I'm in the groove. I also enjoy all the different humidors on top of my furniture. Cool

[CEC_Tech]

I have somewhere in the range of 300-400. Not very much at all.

I would like to know how many above the 10,000 mark are STILL married (assuming they were at some point). But more importantly whats the trick, how can you possibly convince her that thousands of cigars are appropriate.

I must know the secret, for I fear I will be forced to use it some day. :D

[smokinpeace]

I'm about 800.

167, nice little mix AF SS, Padron 2k, Bolivar Conn., Gurkha Knife, Sancho's, CAO Box Pressed, Oliva Serie G,

[chand]

1209 thanks to the box of Para Japon that came today.

[Nikko]

Started smoking about 18 months ago or so. Had quite a bit of freetime (and a little extra cash) to read all the reviews and learn a little about cigars and got hooked. Think I just passed the 1600 mark or am very close to it as of the last delivery yesterday. 4 coolers, almost packed solid. About 30% cc's. So, a nice mix in there. GOT TO STOP.

[Tyler]

I think it would be literally impossible to smoke 100,000 cigars in one's lifetime. If you live to be 80 and have only smoked since turning 18 and smoke one a day you will have smoked 22,630 in your 62 years of smoking. So to get to 100,000 that is 4-5 smokes a day for 62 years. Holy balls. Now that being said I realize alot of guys collect and then share with friends etc. I am just saying that 100,000 for personal use is crazy! But that is why we are the Cigar Asylum. I guess they truly belong here haha.

[deaster25]

I am currently the proud owner of 13 premium sticks with another on it's way. I'm just in the beginning phases of my cigar habit. One of these days I will be rollin' with the big dogs.

Close to 150 as of right now...I'm ashamed, but its not quantity its quality!! :tu

[Marlon K]

I have about 2000++++

[Hem]

You guys are nuts! This is great :r

I only have 10 (mix of ybor city and la pearla dominicana) and an 18 Gurkha sampler on its way so 28 total soon....I'm working on it!:D

[HollywoodQue]

I have only 2....NC's and CC's....lol

[Ncpsycho]

Started about 6 months ago ... Adictive personality but only have about 200 loose sticks in 2 humis no boxes but im building a wineador so that will change...

[44stampede]

My wine cooler is delivered tomorrow. I should say "my first" wine cooler is being delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to set it up.

[nick2021]

Counted everything again and am at around 1000

[SteveDMatt]

Still over 1000 and nothing in my collection is newer than 2 years old.

600 and counting!

[DaBear]

Does the humidor at work count as one of my own? :r

I've seen 26,000+ cigars before, and it was terrifying. I don't even want to know what 50k or 100k would be

[IlmProcess]

Just started again. Around 30 with a box coming in. I might need a new humidor here in a minute

Sure, I will put one up...

Basically, I use 7 different 28 bottle Vinos, and a 128Ct cooler...

Honestly, about 1/4th of that number is singles that I am not allowed to smoke, so the more sticks I buy, the number keeps going up (esp since I usually only smoke about 3 cigars a week or so)...

No, when I started my blog, I decided that one of the things that was missing from other sites was to have photos of all of the cigars in a given release every time there is a new release, to compare past and present to each other.

So, I started collecting every cigar I could get my hands on in a given release...all the tat blacks, all the Fuente 13s, all the Viaje Exclusivos, all the Litto Small Batch, all the Tat Verocu, all the Tat Cojonu, all of the Viaje S&B, etc etc etc...

Sadly, it got out of hand fairly quickly, so I had to move all of them to the cooler, which literally full of nothing but singles of various lines...

The good news is that we are starting a section called "Collections" which will have all of the release info for each cigar (which really comes in handy when you are trying to find out exactly which Viaje S&B you have lol!)...

See here:

http://www.halfwheel.com/?page_id=25340

Here is what I am talking about, every Tatuaje Cojonu that has been officially released (and one that has not as of yet):

http://newpull.halfwheel.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Tatuaje-Cojonu1.jpg

The main problem with this way of doing things is that I have almost every LE cigar released in the last 5 years, but can't smoke them :r:r

Sorry, probably more info then you wanted! LOL!

Maybe 200 counting what's in boxes. And I've cut back. Probably had 300+ about 3 months ago.

The love I have for cigars centers around the shared experiences with people in the hobby and industry. Once I hit the first category my enjoyment would be further heightened as that means I will be able to create more of those shared experiences through bomb and local pass outs.

[ikkaariainen]

Sweet spot given rate of acquisition & consumption seems to be ~ 450, # has stayed fairly constant but overall price & quality of average cigar has significantly improved - life is too short & precious to drink much bad wine or smoke many bad and oft even average cigars...

[dvickery]

something I realized years and years ago...there will always be somebody out there who has more cigars than I do...I just relax and enjoy the ride...its not a competition.
