My name is Nate and I'm OCC when it comes to my cigars
(hi nate)
I am "Quirky" when it comes to my smoking and stashing and buying habits.
I have to buy a cigar, almost always, in an even number (at least 2 if not 4 when buying at a B&M) or only if the samplers only have 1 I have to buy two of them to make it a pair.
When Smoking the large part of what I smoke depends on one main reason... If I have another one in the Humi. IF I have 5 of something, I will enjoy the heck out of it, 4- No problem, 3 little shaky, 2 I barely touch for if I DO smoke them then I will only have 1 left, and 1 oh boy... I can't pull myself to do it!!! IF I smoke the last one, then I won't have that flavor anymore... what if they discontinue it? What if the stick doesn't smoke well? What if I like it so much, but then if I buy fresh it will be 9-12 months before I can enjoy it after some resting???
And my Humi... I open it up daily just to check on my "Rh".... but really it's just to smell them, and "face" them (grocery store term) so all the cigars are exactly flush with each other...
There.... I feel better

My name is Kas... ( hi kas !) I believe you are my brother.. except I always buy things in odd numbers. Your smoking habits describe me exactly. There are at least thirty cigars in my humidor I can't smoke because they are the last one. I check my humidors at least three time a day, and rotate them once a week. When I get low on my favorites(5) I must reorder for fear of some catastrophic event which will make all the Nordings, or Bauzas, or Opus, or La Aurora 1495/1994s impossible to get... oh wait a minute...There are no more 1495/1994s !!!
my name is Gene ...(Hi Gene !) I believe you guys are both my brothers !!! Group hug and lets all have a Miller Lite my treat ...
I don't have any of the weird compulsion you all do.
I understand about the running out thing/fear/obsession. That's why I buy boxes. But then, just the opposite happens...I think: "damn, if I smoke all these I'll have to go out and buy another box, What if thery're out, what if they stop making this blend, or maybe the new ones will just suck"
I guess it's bad either way, but at least it takes me longer to run out.... (Cue evil laugh) -- Muahahahaha!
Hey Greg hows the new humidor filling up with all those boxes !?!? Is/are there plans for a second homemade humi ? I hesitate to use the term 'homemade' ...I think the term 'handmade' more accuratly describes the great job and produces a better vision of your creation ...

You can see a few of them if you scroll up a bit... Me? OCD? NEVER!
Psychological disorders and beer... It's like a family reunion!!!
"Gee... a 5-pack of that cigar would be friggin' awesome
but then I do the math in my head about what four 5pack would be compared to a box... then I upsell myself to the box and then at the checkout I'm all like...
Wait... I've never even smoked this cigar before!!! Why am I buying a BOX???
I hope there is a smoke filled group therapy somewhere in Wisconin.........
im gunna go smoke the last of something right now. lets see if i can find a discontinued stick in there. im sure i have one. maybe that cusano reserva familiar perfecto i have in my humidor. The Cusano Estate Reserve was a reportedly a very limited blend with only 500 boxes being produced each month in the Dominican Republic, though, I dont think they even make them anymore. Ive only seen one in my life and its in my humidor.
I think i may also have a cusano corojo 96
you read that right. vintage 96. THAT is a rare cigar.
iduno... i could smoke that opusx **** that has over 3 years on it. or a Hemingway maduro... dont see those that often.
cigars are meant to be enjoyed.
no use in owning a corvette if you dont take it out of the garage.
Nothing like the UPS guy showing up with a Cigar.com box stuffed with boxes and bags.
Revving in the garage Lassie while enjoying a MGD ...hard to get a DWI while in there ...I think your on to something ...
"In this cigar it started out cedary with notes of rich leather, then about a 1/3rd of the way I picked up on some diesel and nitrous oxide... Not used to this in a cigar but it was welcomed
2/3rd of cigar the spiciness has made me extremely light headed, I'd say this cigar is Full-bodied and a petroleum finish
Last Third... This guy is rocking my head and stomach... the smoke is thick and acrid and lingers in the air... All the flavors don't change, they *Cough* intensify... I would like to note that the *Cough Cough* wrapper is a .... little.... *Cough* veiny... *Hack* *Cough*......................................................................
