I might be sick
 

So, I have a box of cigars that are smoking well. I get down to like 8 left and just can't bring yourself to touch any more of them.

This isn't just 1 box of cigars, this is like a few of them.

Am I sick? Weird? Have a case of CDAD (Cigar Deficit Attention Disorder)? Or something worse? Or am I semi-normal?

Re: I might be sick
 

Sounds normal to me.

Re: I might be sick
 

That describes Life in general for me. Sounds normal!

Re: I might be sick
 

Very normal. I'm the same way. Especially if you have aged them well or if they are no longer made

Re: I might be sick
 

very normal, but the impact to me is much stronger on bottles of whisky.

what helps me sleep at night is that there will always be good cigars and bottles of whisky coming out. sure, you may burn through all of a particular box, and you know you'll never get it again. but think of it as making room for the next great stick you have yet to try.

I've been that way with everything all my life, started with stickers when I was a kid and carried right on up to now with cigars

Sounds like you need to buy some more boxes, Todd!!

Once the new stock comes in, your malady will disappear!

Same here, I get to 5 and leave them alone. I guess its a fear of running out.

Variety is the spice if life, need a change up once in a while.

Re: I might be sick
 

I do the same thing but not sure why. There will always be good cigars out there.

Re: I might be sick
 

Same here...

I have a hard time breaking a box and once I do, it is even harder to watch it go empty.

You're all screwed up Todd. But I love you anyway. And your syrup.

nope, not weird at all. I have this same problem. I have to be in possession of at least 5 of all the cigars I like to smoke regularly. If I get below 5, I stop smoking them until I can get more.

Re: I might be sick
 

You're a least semi normal Rev :D

Re: I might be sick
 

its tough to say goodbey to a good box :D

Re: I might be sick
 

Funny how I felt that way looking at my box of BRCs. :(

Re: I might be sick
 

Oh, I can break a box. Once I get a new box, it is tough not to break it open and try one.

You only love me for my sweett disposition. :r :r

Semi-normal is good, I think.

Even if I buy new stock, I still have the same problem, olded boxes that have only a few cigars left in them. And then, it is only a while and then that new box simply adds to the clutter and becomes another casualty of the same dilemma.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Normal.

My number's around 10, but i'm always trading or bombing somebody
so it usually dips even below that...:cool:

Re: I might be sick
 

If it is a box that I can replace I don't worry too much... in fact I usually speed up on them. If it is something I can't replace then I started bumming at about that same point. When I get down to one I REALLY have a hard time smoking it. My singles drawers have a bunch of things I only have one left of!!

Re: I might be sick
 

I needed room in my vinotemp and just cleared out a bunch of half smoked boxes into a couple desktops. This was a major event for me so I'm going with 'totally normal dude.' It makes me feel better to say so, no idea if that's 'normal' or not. :r

Re: I might be sick
 

I found I can get past this problem if I take the cigars out of the box and put them in one of my drawers in the wine cooler. For whatever reason, once they're out of the box, they become smokable in a couple months.

Re: I might be sick
 

Yeah, I suppose, only then they're still only a couple left and it is still a problem.

Re: I might be sick
 

I usually go through that if it is something I have been aging for a while. Then I start wondering if they are at there prime now or if I should wait. Then I worry that I may wait and miss the sweet spot. Finally I just close my eyes and grab one. So I would vote you are as healthy/sick as the rest of us.

You know what is really funny? I had some Honduran Punch Rothschilds that were part of a box of 50 from 1996, when I got to the last 10, they sat for quite a while. I gifted a couple away back in 2006 or 2007. Smoked a couple, and then the last few sat around. I gave a couple more away and then the last one I smoked about two weeks before Easter. I haven't replaced them though. That was probably like my 10th box of them as I used to buy them for $39 ad then $50 for a box of 50. Now they run about $125-$170 a box, and I just can't bring myself to buy them for that price, not because they aren't worth it, but I know what I used to pay for them.

Oh nostalgia, what a wonderful thing.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Not sick at all...just a good inventory clerk!!:tu

I Know The Feeling, My Brother; It's Hard To Say "Goodbye"!;)

Re: I might be sick
 

I get the same feeling sometimes especially with limited edition and hard to find smokes. But, I have to remind myself that if I don't smoke them now, I may lose them forever. Like wind, cigars will reach its peaks, then fall down and lose its flavor.
