A simple observation

[Bax]

I love the collection aspect of the hobby. There are too few hobbies out there where you can spend 20-40 bucks and get rare or hard to find stuff! Think about this, what other hobby can you spend 20 bucks on a gift and impress even the most avid collector?

There's only two of those yellow band Columbus cigars (whatever the hell they are) in my humi that I am going to have a hard time lighting.
Other than that, any occasion where I'm with more than just me smoking can be cause to light a special cigar.
I admit I do have a tough time lighting special cigars just by myself. Not as much fun alone (my personal feeling) and no one to share it with.
I do enjoy the collecting and saving, but only because I know 20-30+ year old cigars can be(not always) some of the best, and I intend to save a large amount of my cigars that long for that reason.
