Getting bored...

This may well be the beginning of the end...

I'll let you cry on my shoulder Walt.
Besides, I didn't know flavored cigars were that exclusive.

Shut Up Huy!

Hang in there. Cigars and friendships because of cigars go hand in hand.

I dunno about this thread...but I want a cigar now....

This is like all addictions...at some point they seem like theres nothing left to enjoy.......and then....you discover something new.

I'd say give it a rest for a month even...maybe two... someday some new cigar will bring you back and you'll be glad it did. Otherwise you're just on to something else entirely....but there's always something. Or maybe that's just me.

I found myself getting bored recently too. But I think it was because I had no new cigars coming in the mail so I bought some of the new Diesel Unlimited's and can't wait to try them! Guess I was getting bored with my stash even though I have a large variety.

I went through my humis last night and picked out a handful of cigars to smoke. I didn't take out the best of the best, but a few select favorites. I really enjoyed a 1926 #9 natty with some years on it last night. It was stupendous! 5 more sticks in the travel humi that I'm not going to sway from. One a day under nothing but perfect conditions.
I'm pretty sure that it's life that's getting more difficult...and my feelings right now in regards to cigars...is that they aren't fixing it.

Walt, revisit some of your old favorites, that might help.

Walt. I'm glad to hear you had s good experience with your 26! I don't have to tell you that conditions and surrounding atmospheres can make or break a stick. Possible with life in duress, the sticks aren't pulling you out because your smoking with s clouded mindset. Free yourself Brother of these Nasties and I don't think you'll find yourself bored anymore.

Walt, brother, there seems to be going on more here than we know....Always remember that the brothers here will always help ya out in any way we can.

With regards to the cigars...The hunt lately has been exhausting to me as well. Chasing HTF that vary in profile only slightly from the other HTF release a few times ago. It gets old. Just remember, the hunt can be disappointing, but you can always sell what you do not like and keep what you do.

Maybe time to take a step back and reflect on why you started smoking cigars in the first place. Is that reason still relevant? Has a new reason taken its place? Step back and reflect, then make a path for the future.

I know I speak for many, we are here listening to you, can be there with you supporting you if needed.....

Best wishes for ya Walt!

I recently started a list on my laptop that I keep saved. I have a humidor full of samplers, just a hundred or so of individual sticks and 5 packs. I ordered my last cigars a few weeks ago. I am going to smoke thru my entire stash of what I have right now. The list will comprise of any sticks that I want to revisit. I am tired of smoking dog rockets, however, everytime I smoke something great, it brings me back. I am finding a few sticks that are just mind blowing, and in the future, I wont bother with samplers and 5 packs. I will order boxes of what I like. I don't really care what other people like, I am all for suggestions and sampling, but in reality. If you don't like a smoke, you just don't like it. Smoking a few smokes in a row that you don't like can completely kill the whole smoking experience.

My suggestion, grab a favorite stick of yours, and go for a midnight stroll. It's what I have been doing lately, I grab a stick that I know I enjoy and just go for a walk in the middle of the night. It's very relaxing and peaceful and helps relieve all the stresses you gain thru the week.
