I still have more cigars in the mail/pending purchase! im looking at getting a small coolidor ugh...


you guys said it was a slippery slope but really? greased, 45* and no way to slow down!

MAC - there are no acids to yell about anymore!

[elderboy02]

Nice :tu

[dwoodward]

You should really move the acids out of there... They can impart their flavors into the non acids...

[KenyanSandBoa]

:tu...just enjoy the ride. :D

i made the comment about them becuase i dont have them anymore. that picture is alittle over a month old now.

[NCRadioMan]

Oh, dear God! I see a Viper and Acids! :r

BTW, you shouldn't store the Acids with the real cigars. They will infect them. :pu

[Devanmc]

yes of course, that picture had been take just to "show" what i had. they were not stored together. the viper got bought by someone in the barrack cuz i smelled it and didnt want to smoke it. lol

[NCRadioMan]

:tu It only gets worse, so have fun! :noon

[gijoey959]

I know what you mean, I went from buy the stick I plan to smoke to buying as many as possible and only stopping to pay bills! I am already running out of room in my small cooler

[kelmac07]

Devan...glad to hear the Acids are gone!! :tu Just say no!!

[Bill86]

Coolidors are cheap go big! 120-150 quart. You'll be happy you did.

[Devanmc]

Gotta be small, im in barracks. Looking for like a large lunch box cooler

[hotreds]

NEVER doubt the inmates!

[yourchoice]

When I joined the old site over four years ago (wow, time flies), I had almost nothing IIRC (like, 2 cigars and a newly purchased desktop). I now have and end table humidor that is pressed for space. Put it this way, it doesn't stop! Just have fun. :D

[longknocker]

Enjoy The Ride, Brother!:D:banger

[Martel]

Wait until you get curious about pipe smoking...:pi

It may be slippery, but it's one heck of a ride!

Very Nice, Brother! Now You Need To Buy 3 Coolers!:r:D:tu

[Devanmc]

ummm yeah, Houston, i have a problem here...


*sorry was going to move it because i thought i had an old more appropriate thread somewhere else.

[Ogre]

It doesnt get any easier!!! Your coolers just keep getting bigger!!! Enjoy Brother.

[kelmac07]

I see space!! :r :r :r

[Bill86]

Nice looking good! I probably should get active humidification for my annoying desktop.

[Devanmc]

honestly the things is a PITA to set up or maybe thats cuz mine has alittle caracter? idk but ill give it a week and see how i feel about the thing...

[GTsetGO]

Same Humi my brother has.

and i know all about the slope. I started with a measly 100 count. now i have 4 and a cooler.

[chippewastud79]

Call us when you have a cabinet in under 3 months. Why did you choose active for something that small? :tu

[EricF]

Enjjoy ride down! It only gets better. I started with a 50ct and now have 2 desktops and a small cabinet with a cooler in waiting!

[maninblack]

Very nice Devan! I can attest to the slope. I started the year with about 75 sticks. After I joined CA I am now up to over 1000 and counting! But it never gets boring. This is a great hobby!

This thread make me happy! Enjoy the ride Brother. Update when you start building the Walk-In!

That too Larry! The generosity of the brothers here never ceases to amaze me!

[dwoodward]

I see space!! :r :r :r

Barely... lol, your crazy Mac!

[lyle23]

Looks good. You have built yourself one hell of a collection there.

[Devanmc]

seemed like a good idea, since im not home for months at a time. i can just tell my parents to refill it. beads would be way to complicated to explain maintenance on if im not home to do it.

[guitar4001]

be very afraid.

[JoeCool87TC]

Like guitar4001 said, "be very afraid". Once you start down the slope about the most you can hope for is to give yourself occasional nudges in the direction you want to travel - ask me how I know!

Zero to > 250 in 90 days, with a full desktop humi and now an almost full igloo-dor!

:sh

[Ranger_B]

Devan when are you just going to break down and start a cooler that or a cigar cellar are the only things that have a chance of taking a while to fill up around this place.

Frank is right Devan. I went from a 150 count to a 600 count cabinet in a little over 4 months, and by 6 months I was ordering a 3000 count tower, now I am considering just donating a closet to the cause.:D

Great looking humi brother!!

At the rate your going you might as well skip the closet and donate the spare bedroom :r

Bump for my WTH moment last night when i consolidated to the cooler, as i just brought it home...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l89/devanmc436/PART_1299645061732-1.jpg

for the record 9/10/10 was my first order with famous and thus the day i got hooked on cigars and joined the forum. before then only buying a single or 2 at a B&M maybe once a month.

[Christiel49]

I am right there with you! I have been smoking for a while, but became more involved in January! Got my first 75 count and it is now full. I need to start smoking more or move on up :)

[BloodSpite]

I spent a lot of my money on booze, cigars, birds and fast cars - the rest I just squandered.
