Ahahaha... unfortunately, though I love cigars, I love my GF more, and she would KILL me for spending so much. Perhaps in the future, but for now, I will get my desktop. I don't need THAT many cigars... do I?

Also, going to school and only working part-time = smaller tobacco/tobacco accessories supply, unfortunately.

Though, your post has convinced me to go with a bigger size... perhaps a 150 or 200 ct...

THAT many is such an open term in cigarland. Some look into my cabinet and ask why would you keep that many cigars around.
I look at my cabinet and say, I really don't have that many...

Look, don't EVER put yourself in the red because of a cigar...it is a hobby that shouldn't cause you to stress over your purchases or be worried in any way. If a 100 ct. works for you, then by all means go for it. I bought my 150 count and was able to keep that under control for about 8 months. After a while, you find that is is sometimes the better buy for boxes. If you really don't smoke that much and a B&M is right around the corner with boxes of your smokes, then its cool. It is all in the eye of the beholder when it comes to what you want to commit to.


My cabinet is getting filled and my 150 holds all my singles that spill over from the cab.

This is what I'm using...great capacity for short money. That will at least tide you over until you inevitably get the cooler.

Desktops are nice as a conversation piece. Coolers are much less hassle, and you should be able to pick up a cooler at Wally World for well under $50 that will comfortably hold a few hundred cigars. You may not *need* those cigars right now, but more storage space gives you room to bury that new box of smokes for a few months, and let them dry out a bit. It's personal preference of course, but I find I enjoy my sticks much more with at least a month of rest.
If you keep an eye out for samplers, sales, and score on the auction sites, you can build up a nice collection without going broke. And check out the Cheap Smokes Thread. Expensive is not always good, and cheap is not always bad.

Yeah, it's no mystery that every cigar smoker has a desktop. it is a quaint reminder of the past
for most people, but it's still where the real business of smoking starts. I have easily 8 ice chests,
but every cigar I smoke comes out of a desktop.

That's the exact logic I used when I decided to get a cooler as well as the Treasure Dome. When I would find a good deal on CBid it would take up half of my humi if I happened to get a box. The cooler makes it much easier to order at bulk prices.
