Anyone else here have a note in their humidors, or an understanding, willing their cigars to a friend or family member?

Anyone can go at any time...right? I used to have a much larger collection, but my cigar stash has shrunk to a few bundles, boxes & fivers. My wife wouldn't know what to do with them if I were to pass suddenly, so I put a note in a humidor telling her who to give them to.

I have wondered if I might be overstepping my bounds by giving a small asset away that should go to my wife. Who knows? She might wish to smoke a celebratory cigar! LOL

Has anyone else here done anything like this?

I've made provisions for my modest "collection".

I actually have my cigars and cigar accessories in my will. While it doesn't seem like a big deal to most folks, the friend I willed them to will be very happy.

My friends claim to be part of the "grieving widows club" and have volunteered to take care of my stash. :r :r

No, but now you've got me thinking about it.

Other than whatever regular stash I might leave behind, I have alerted someone about where to find my special collection. I have saved one cigar from every box of cigars ... each cigar is labeled and includes its box code ... already filled one and now well into filling a second desktop humi. Unless I decide to smoke them during retirement ... with any luck, I'll be leaving behind a nice collection with a lot of 30-40 year aged cigars.

I figure my small stash will get smoked by my buddies while they celebrate my Awesomeness :banger

My Brother will get all my cigars, and guns for that matter, but I don't plan on kicking the bucket until I smoke them all anyway so he may just get a bunch of bands, and some empty brass!

I'd want my family to sell them off and use the money for something else. Let my friends have first dibs and then the auction starts...

That's a damn fine idea qwerty, I'm going to start doing that.

My brother gets 1/2 them, I have a box of cigars that will go to my son, as i will miss his 18th birthday and the last 1/2 goes to a nonprofit org for the military.

I've thought about it from time to time, but haven't made any actual provisions yet. Still not sure how I'm going to deal with it. :confused:

I have two preparations. I have a list of friends who are to be contacted to maintain the humidors and a provision for what cigars I want at the party celebrating the end of what I hope was a moderately successful life.

I have yet to make provisions for the humidors and main body of sticks, but am likely to have them sold through c-gars ltd in the UK if they are still around. There may be a few specific bequests because there are likely to be some S/BOTLs that I haven't bombed yet.

Or make Huy come get them in a rickshaw. I've seen him, he's pretty good with one of those. :tu

I don't have a bequest.
I don't care who gets them, I'm not gonna need them. I figure I'll go long before Weeze, so they'd naturally be hers, and she'd give them away which is what I do anyways.

Don't have to worry about this since my wife and both my son and daughter smoke cigars.

But I made my deal with the devil a long time ago, I can't die until I smoke all of my cigars. That's why I keep buying, I'm going to live forever! :D:D:D :ss

I never keep more than a handful around anymore since I buy them as I need them. I really don't care what happens to them, as it would be just one more thing for my wife to deal with. She would probably keep them until they turned to dust.

When it all comes down to it, they're nothing more than rolled-up tobacco leaves; but I still love 'em.:D

dad! :R

I only have one friend that smokes, some will go to him, the rest will most likely split between the troops and the S.H.I.T. herfers (whatever the group is at that point in time) so they can just show up and smoke.

They must find a place where they can lay your corpse on a pool table, and sing "The Body of an American" by The Pogues!

Thought about this. The only thing I've done is make sure my family knows about this place.

Regrettably, I've never met another member of CA (or any other forum/facebook group of which I'm a member). Never been to a herf. One of the challenges of living in BFE, but I do enjoy my privacy.

I figure my brother will probably get the collection. Though he's not really into cigars. Smokes cigarettes like its nobody's business. If either of my kids grow up to be cigar smokers, they'll get em. But my oldest is 6, and 12 more years is a long ways away to be making predictions.

But like Scott, I give away more cigars than I smoke. I just hope I smoke the last cigar I possess at the end of my life.

I really have not thought about it before. My wife knows that my collection is valuable, but I really have not left any guidance. I should leave a note asking that the cigars be kept-up (add distilled water to beads, and check every few months), and then give to my son when he is 18, if he likes cigars (he is not even born yet). I would also have to leave a Option 2- hand out to cigar friends, or send to the troops.

I told my Wife, anyone that wants my **** that she doesn't want can have it. Same goes with Cigars. My Wife would probably keep everything, however.

Will they use the Guinness to marinate before smoking you Tom? It sounds delicious...are the Irish fond of hickory, or do they use a different hardwood?

I'm not sure I want to know the origins of that nickname...perhaps his skills shall come in handy at Tom's funeral, as they will need someone to tenderize the corpse. (snicker)

You may be old but at least you're slow.......:D

You can call me rick, but don't ask Pete about the name slappy, as he probably would have trouble remembering the story and would ramble on for hours.

I used to have LeafHog's phone # and call him once and a while, but when I upgraded from my party line, I lost some phone numbers. Hear from him ever?

I don't worry about leaving my cigars when I go; I know eventually I will start smoking faster than I buy

I talk to LeafHog pretty much every week. He is the beneficiary of my humidors, although he does not know this & please don't tell him as I do not wish to spoil the surprise, or ambush, whatever the perspective. :D

I will PM his cell # to you.

I find the whole "smoking faster than you buy" idea intriguing...it would entail smoking OP's would it not? Unfortunately, most hand-offs from my friends would probably taste like a fart boiled in a shoe, but then again, like Imhotep, I have the palate of a billy goat anywho.
