How many cigars in your possession? For the VERY sick folk - Page 4

10-15-2010, 04:14 PM

When I first began, I really got caught up with the auctions and was buying things I had no clue or idea what they were like. I just bid on them because I wanted cigars....(need to examine that statement). Then I found myself doing all sorts of crazy things to win the bids.. would stay up late and put in the last bid one minute before it closed, got ticked at the guy who would always bid me up and I tried to outbid them, (did this many times), and would always try to buy that new cigar everyone was talking about whether it fit my palate-profile or not. I rarely bought a 5 pack or sampler, but, opted for a bundle or box, sometimes two of each or more. I have tamed down and bid very little now or buy very little. Hell, I have just about everything and no where to put new boxes or bundles, unless I build a larger walk-in and that aint going to happen. I must admit, though, am a sucker for 10% or 20% off on sticks especially if I dont have too many of that brand. In another thread, I posted am always looking for $1 stick, so that still stays with me. Cusano lower end prices for sticks, CC, M1, MC, P1's, and Alec Bradley's Spirit of Cuba are the latest. Even with all that said, Free Cuba at $1. a bundle of 50 for $50 at CI is the best for me.

But you never said how many you have, Chuck.

He did, but in the wrong thread.

Put it this way he is a true collector.

I have a real-time inventory now

I created a Google spreadsheet so that as soon as I smoke one, I can deduct them from my inventory from my phone. I have every cigar and every size listed. I am starting to put in values so that I know what my collection is worth.

Wow, talk about small time, im in the about 20-50 range these days. Ill be a real boy one day like you guys. Happy Smoking.

man before i found this site i didn't even know what a humidor was...now i'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a waxing moon humi AND an aristocrat because i can't fit anything else in my 100 count...not to mention i like to show off my treasures...

i've probably smoked like 25 cigars in the past year and always buy in batches of 5 or more to justify smoking 1...i'm sure i'll be "sick" in a few years from now...since the humis are for my singles purchases and i want an aristocrat so i can start to purchase some boxes of the singles i know i really like...

BFallehy · 11-24-2010, 02:36 PM

I love this thread, and it definatly needs some pictures. Well that is mostly so whenever my girlfriend tells me I have enough cigars I can just pull up this thread and show her that I in fact have too few cigars and need more.

Yeah, and when you do, that is all it will take. That's what happened to me years ago. I have around 600 - 800. All I need to keep me interested. I spend around a grand a year now that I'm in the groove. I also enjoy all the different humidors on top of my furniture. Cool

11-30-2010, 07:34 AM

Holy crap! I am pure rook and with the boxes coming back from cuba I will be at 60-70...

CEC_Tech · 11-30-2010, 06:55 PM

I have somewhere in the range of 300-400. Not very much at all.

11-30-2010, 08:43 PM

Beyond the beyond....

That was more than a few years ago...when there were three shelving units...now there are six (last I heard).

Those who know him, know how humble he truly is...the mention of his name makes B&M owners tremble.

I aspire to be like him someday.

x6?

wow!

jimdandy · 02-09-2011, 10:41 AM

I would like to know how many above the 10,000 mark are STILL married (assuming they were at some point). But more importantly whats the trick, how can you possibly convince her that thousands of cigars are appropriate.

I must know the secret, for I fear I will be forced to use it some day.

smokinpeace · 02-09-2011, 12:48 PM

I'm about 800.
