Is this normal?

MrClean · 09-22-2011, 04:02 AM

So I've gotten into cigars pretty heavily the last 6 months or so. Previously, just a few here and there. I've noticed that when I have down time at work, I keep thinking about which stick I want to smoke when I get home. Which leads to think about which ones I want to buy next.
I blame each and every one of you here...that is what I told my wife anyway. So be expecting a 'nasty-gram' from her in the near future.

Fairly new myself and having the same problem. It appears to be what is refered to in these hallowed walls as "a sickness."

irratebass · 09-22-2011, 04:21 AM

I don't think about which stick I will have next, no I am worse, I will look at my small collection of sticks and move the one I am smoking next to the top and that's my next smoke...but I have started a shopping list for the next time I have some $.

Now I can't tell you how many FB pages I have "liked" or websites and blogs I have subscribed to and "favorited"

It's an obsession for sure.

There is a good reason they refer this as the "Slippery Slope".

Dont worry, the buying stops once you're broke.

I have the same problem that the OP has. I keep buying cigars and I am running out of room. In fact I just picked up a few 5ers yesterday and a box of the Tat Blacks. I am also working on a box split right now. HELP ME!!!

Small & tiny things like this should'nt bother you. The big problem you should focus on is when you run out of cash, credit & room for youR stash. At that point the walls start closing in on you & your humi inventory starts to vanish.

Then there's guns, and wine, and fishing, and..., and..., and...

The "Slippery Slope" can be expensive, and there is very little hope of slowing down.

Skywalker · 09-22-2011, 02:27 PM

Yes. This is normal!

I try not to think!!!

Blak Smyth · 09-22-2011, 02:29 PM

Yup, nothing unusual here!

IBQTEE1 · 09-22-2011, 02:42 PM

Yes, you are "normal" in this crowd!!

shilala · 09-22-2011, 02:57 PM

When it takes you more than five trips to carry all your cigars across the basement, you have a problem.
Let me rephrase...
