Well Gents (and ladies??)
My third post here....and I think I may have a "problem"........
My second post was about beverages and gars.....and now I have ammo and ideas to try coffee again thanks to all the great posters here (think hot black Costa Rican, thermos, small cup).
I've been buried in this Forum - great reading.
It's Wednesday evening, and all I can think about is what cigar I'm going to dry box tomorrow for Friday's evening smoke.
What's worse? I'm also obsessively thinking about what cigars to dry box Friday morning for Saturday's smokes, which will include a "morning" smoke with hot coffee, an afternoon smoke at the BBQ with a beer or three, and an evening smoke back at home around the outdoor fire pit, probably with a Scotch or maybe an iced coffee if I plan on staying up late, or we have guests.
Cigars in the morning........3 smokes in a day....................heading down a slippery slope..............
Is this how it's gonna be from now on??

...just sayin.
My humi stays at around 70-72 - which is OK for some of my sticks - but not others it seems (especially the Gurhka Titans.)
I'm trying to get it down to 68 to 70.
I screwed up a bit a several weeks ago when I broke in the humi (it had been unused for quite sometime) - about 1/2 my stogies sat at 75rh for about 4 to 5 days, many of them the Titans. And, I've been adding stock, etc. - so things are slowly settling in.
I see humi accessories in my future........
think I'll go check the rh now as a matter of fact.
you guys are killing me..........
I just want to be a "casual" cigar smoker - ya know - 2 or 3 gars a week, maybe a month goes by without lighting up?...........
yeah right......I'm pretty much screwed.
I'm logging into Ccom several times a day, checking into the evil empire and other sites as well (but rarely buy from anyone else - the folks here are the best) - I'm flipping through the catalogs even though I've looked at them 5 times already.......crap!!!!
Right now I'm hanging in there at smoking only Fri, Sat and Sun, and I need to try and stay with that program......pretty sure that is workable......but I sure am looking forward to Saturday morning - might even post a pic!
I'm slippin.................
I just know I'd feel a lot better if I had twice as many sticks as I have right now.
That all changed about a year and a half ago when I found this site and got into my easy summer schedule. Next thing you know, I'm smoking a cigar basically every afternoon by the pool. Even then, I was probably at 5-6 cigars per week, max.
Then even more recently, as in the last month or two, all the sudden I'm really into morning smokes. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to have my evening smoke, of course. And several times a week I have to make a drive from Denver to Colorado Springs and back... just enough time for a robusto each way. Next thing you know, I'm not thinking twice about smoking 2-3 cigars per day!
It's definitely a bit out of control for me. I'm a nutrition and workout hound, and this is very contrary to my otherwise obsessively healthy lifestyle. I love it, but I do need to back off a bit. I've also noticed that I don't appreciate each cigar as much as I used to, and that my palate is probably a bit overwhelmed.
Unfortunately, I don't see much changing this summer, with my having even more time off than I did last year, and ccom continue to run ridiculous DD's. I'm telling myself that after my honeymoon in September I'm going to start weaning...
Looking at the huge white Costco Igloo cooler we have sitting at the deli, with the small pop-up access door in the middle (so you don't have to open the whole lid when grabbing a stick or ten) - grooves built into the sides which would be perfect for pre-drilled plexiglass dividers................
yep - I've got the newbie fever for sure.................
that's my plan, and I'm stickin with it.............
my wife's been getting "nervous".......
"are you on that cigar web site AGAIN?"
" no honey - just sending an email to a friend"......................
Now my cigar sickness has me telling lies......................little white lies....you guys are my friends......
Said all that to say this - I will echo what others have said on your thread here. Dont worry about the seeming mania, EMBRACE IT. This is when you are gonna find out whether you're a maduro guy or not, whether a ligero stick agrees with or tastes awful to you, which connecticut you like best when the mood for one hits you.
All part of this awesome hobby of ours. If you're enjoying what you're doing right now, well - enjoyment is why we got into it in the first place, right? :-)
This happens????
