Alrighty. Did some much needed inventory and general straightening up of the cooler this evening. Had a few boxes I've been meaning to go through to start the aging process and finally got that done too. Here we go!
Everything out
Sealed box of TSM Lanceros I'm aging
Unsealed box for vacation this October
Keep most of the non cello stuffs in an old Nat Sherman box. Stuff on top is from @Bigshizza. Those big robustos are Cuban seeded from Gettysburg.
A little lower we get into the cubans Mark @Thanatos0320 sent me from his trip to Greece. I'm getting to them Mark! Been busy but am aching to try some
More goodies for special occasions
These were from Santa. Trying to hold off at least 8 years but it's hard as hell
To be continued...
“Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman – or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.” – George Burns
Moving on to some bigger hoarding. Most everything in this box is from the CAS psychiatrist himself, @peter4jc. All the Tat TAA's from the last 5 years.
More TAA's
...and more. Plus some H2K's for a rainy day.
Moving into the Fuentes. Found these in my B&M's humidor, shoved in a corner with...
...a few very nice Toast Across America boxes and...
The remnants of an Oscuro Oro box. I've taken advantage of the empty slots with some dog rockets from @Sketch6995.
Looks like this is gonna take one more post to finish up. I didn't realize I'd accumulated this much stock, yet it's still nowhere near as impressive as some of you guy's stashes.

Wrapping up. Here's the rest of my Opus and Fuente. A generous forum member hooked me up with a good few of these when he went to Casa Fuente
Box of Don Carlos from da Shizz set up for aging.
Some coffins
And loose sticks from various friends/places.
Looking back through all of these really gives me a feeling of nostalgia. I can remember exactly where 99% of this stuff came from. Those Perdomo Champagnes for example were the first sticks I ever bought when I was just getting into cigars.
It also reminds me just how generous you guys and gals are on this forum. While I do buy plenty of my own cigars, almost half my collection has come straight from you all. The knowledge. passion and comraderie passed around this forum is truly an incredible force of friendships made with people who I'd never have known had it not been for CCOM. It humbles me everytime I log on and I'd just like to say thank you. Here's to many more years of friendship with you crazies

I’m just glad that you all make me feel reasonable and normal, because if someone else saw this all laid out they’d question my sanity, even though it’s a smaller collection than most of you have. The second picture has the prized possessions. All given to me by one of you. Most of those singles in the second and third row from the bottom are bombs/trades/contests as well.
Very nice collection Calvin, all that you have pictured is very good smokes and some good variety as well. Though I still think you are low as that’s not enough to properly fill that massive cooler you got. 😂

I knew going in that the cooler would be bigger than needed, I just know how this is going to go over the next few years and wanted to be prepared.
And by the way, I hope that every time someone comes into a room to talk to one of you, they leave the door a little bit open when they leave.

Another vicious curse lol 😂

What's particularly interesting is how you date your cigars. Almost like a... signiture.
