    Hi........I'm Dave, and I have CAS.
    For me it isn't as much the smoking aspect, I enjoy it when I have time but I'll go a week or so without.......Its the damn BUYING!!!!!!!!! I can't seem to stop watching online sales, auctions, etc.....I've visited several B+M's in the lat week and picked up a few here and there.......Can someone please tell me there can be a happy ending to this?:) LOL

    Dave


    Hi Dave, welcome. Since it's September first, and tracking informs me I have yet another package waiting on the porch today, I'm thinking of gentlemanly restraint until October. 
    Not doing so well on the September restraint, a couple deals on Espinosa sticks came up that I couldn't say no to.

    Welcome to Cigar Acquisition Syndrome or CAS, it's a great disease but comes with consequences hahaha. First order of business is to setup a coolidor since you're going to need it!

    Ya it looks like this "not quite fully seasoned" humidor is already too small.....it said 150 ct, but the comments all pooh pood that, they said 75 max, I figured that would still be way more than I needed.
    I guess I didn't take into account my poor impulse control LOL.

    I know ypur new at this but some of those are just plain bad. Look through the what are you smoking threads to see what people are smoking. The montecristo, romeo y Julieta, and other cuban brands are no where near the actaul cubam counter part and are different companies. Also, @Bigshizza is selling samplers for 50 or 100 bucks and what you would be getting you would be better off.

    This is really great advice, so don't be offended @Sketch6995 , I really wish I would have taken my time with what I was purchasing as now I have a much better idea of what is a truly an enjoyable smoke vs burning tobacco. What I have now are a lot of smokes (more than I can imagine smoking) that get passed over daily because there are so many others I would rather smoke.

    Yup, I was in the same boat. I should have run my first few cigar purchases by you guys. I have a tupperdor full of sticks I will never light. It's now for friends like the Miller High Life in the garage mini fridge.
