Taking stock...

My problem with having a wide variety is that I have a difficult time choosing a stick to smoke. An hour or more is a lot of time to devote to something. I hate wasting it on something I'm not going to really enjoy. My hope, is that someday, I have a humidor stocked full of only my favorite stuff. For now, I'm still in the sampling phase of cigar smoking.

I can sympthasize. I have mostly singles and my "homework" of trying a new stick a day gets sidetracked if I find something I like. My most recent "distraction" was the Ccom Sungrown.

I may buy one box a year (CAO annaversary) other than that I purchase about 300 sticks a year in mixed samplers and rotate the stock at every purchase (2-3 times a year). I throw the new arivalls in a 500 count humi for at least 6 months, then restock a 200 count humi that is for daily access, I can alway find one I feel like smoking on the top. Most the samplers have one or two really good sticks and they go into the super secret humi which is a 400 count that has a few sticks that have been on the bottom for almost 40 years. I get into that one on rare moments I want somethig extra special. I don't bother tryng to remember what I have because so far I've always been able to find one I want.

I feel your pain. I find myself always smoking my less expensive cigars. So 75% of the time I smoke something I have a box of like MOW's, RP Sungrowns, Nica's and then collecting higher priced singles that I smoke once or twice a week. Even when I smoke out of the collection humi, I pick the least expensive ones! The problem, of course, is that I need bigger humi's because all of them are too full! I have a small office humi with cheap multiples, a small home humi with cheap multiples, and then a collecting humi. Instead of a 20, a 20 and a 50 ct. I need to step up to 100-100-300 I think. Anyone looking to downsize their humis and willing to trade?

40 years? wow, wouldn't most cigars lose a lot of what they had? Seems like a really long time. Still very cool none the less.

I would like to try one with that much age. I have one with 18 years on it. R & J 1875, and it is starting to get cracks in the wrapper and a little "dusty" looking Now that I attribute to plume, but I think it may be time to check it out.

There were about 50 sticks in the humi when my dad gave it to me, he quit cigars about 20 years ago, but I can still talk him into smoking one of the ones he bough every now and then, most of them are cubes. and still quite tastey. very very mellow.
