Am I the only one???????

I have been a newbie for a little while now, I am learning my pallet everyday. I find that the cigars that I buy, higher end stuff, I dont smoke. It drives me crazy! I got some MOW ruinations for xmas and smoked one, I loved it, and now I dont want to smoke them! I guess that I am in the collecting mode. I have already gone to a 2nd Humi to "collect" the ones that I want to save. I thought this hobby was supposed to relax! Instead, I worry that I may not be able to replace the "Good" ones Does everybody eles have issues with everyday smokes? I thought the CCOM DD would cure this issue, but it enhances it! And what is the most coveted stick in your collection? Mine is my Gurhka Beast. I have 2 of them.

I'm still pretty new and I find myself doing the same thing, but the one thing I've learned from the guys on this board is "Smoke Em If Ya Got Em" you can always buy or trade for more.

Im the opposite, I cant resist the best of my stash. Had my last MOW Ruination for breakfast Monday. Need to make a prchase today lol.

I did the same thing. Here's a hint. Smoke em if you got em. There are ALWAYS good deals out there.

I smoke em and when I run low on my high end favorites I re-stock.

Or if there is a deal, I re stock!

Right now I seem to be in a hoarding/collecting mode. I just want to buy more and more and every time I go to smoke, I never want to smoke anything I only have one of. I need to get a second humi so i can start making sure i always have a couple of each stick. however, I don't think my wife would be too happy with me spending the money on the one I want, much less buying enough cigars to fill it.

The purpose of a good cigar is to be consumed and enjoyed. I'm about to go smoke a AF Don Carlos Edicion de Aniversario. I'm looking forward to it. Guirkha beast is an alright cigar, but wayyy overpriced, imo. I have a few I bought about a year ago, hoping they improve with age; otherwise I'll be trying to trade them.

Nothing worse than setting one aside, finally trying and loving it a year later, and now there aren't any more to be had.

Sitting on a Padron 1964 Anniversary Principie that I was saving for when my granddaughter was born. Had a HUGE cold when she was born three weeks ago and now I can't seem to justify smoking it.

I smoked a 1964 Maduro Exclusivo last night - it was absolutely knock-my-socks-off incredible. You gotta smoke that one. What better excuse that having a baby can you get?

Talked me into it-I'll smoke it after Easter dinner this Sunday. Thanks for the nudge!

What ! You still need to celebrate I had one of these a couple days ago in the Torpedo size because I noticed it had a chip in the wrapper. That was a good enough reason for me. It was FANTASTIC. I have a saying that applies here... There's more at the store.

My method of madness is to buy at least a 5 pack (10 is better) and store 2 of each different stick in my Humi for special occassions. Problem is those special times never come around and I just keep filling up more boxes.

Yes, this is a problem. I call them my "special occasion" cigars, and they can sit around for a long time. The way around it for me is to find more things to celebrate.
