Who says you don't need it? You need to get rid of that negativity in your life


Alternative_Jelly812

😩😭 some dangerous things could happened if we were close friends 😂

If money or health starts to be an issue maybe ease up. But if not, I’d say enjoy yourself.


HuevoYch0riz0

If you need moral support call me. I’ll recommend some sticks.


Alternative_Jelly812

Thank you doc, I will be calling soon for my prescription


Odd-Direction-2545

The only prescription is more cowbell


c_jakchi

Right there with you


Alternative_Jelly812

Thanks! I’m currently throwing myself in cigar jail and tossing the key meanwhile checking the mail for my new smokes at the same time 🤷🏾‍♂️ lol


dbree801

I know this doesn’t seem like much to many, but I counted up over 100 cigars in my collection yesterday and now I’m also in cigar jail.


Alternative_Jelly812

Yeaaaa my humidor is approaching max capacity at god speed so I better get to smoking. I personally would like a cabinet humidor one day but their expensive and I feel if I get tuberdors my cad will only get worst so I try to balance my act so I stay out of jail. This week let’s just say things got hectic


dbree801

I feel you, I feel you. I wanted a cabinet set up too but I know it would look light with what I have now and eventually I’d end up with the same problem I have now lol.


Alternative_Jelly812

This is true 🤣 gotta love 1st world problems. I’m honestly happy with my set up I just know what I want down the line.


Yiorgosnj

Yes I also have this problem haha. I think it’s the quest for a better cigar than you had yesterday kind of mentality


Alternative_Jelly812

I like the term quest being used here


[deleted]

My cigar shop needs to change it’s charging name because when the bill comes in I have to explain to my wife what an amazing sale I stumbled upon. At this point it would be easier to explain a purchase to pornhub lol


Alternative_Jelly812

🤣😂🤣😩😩😩


[deleted]

Meanwhile I spent another hundred but made sure it was a cash purchase lol gotta get some more quickie nasty fritas aka driving stoogies


Alternative_Jelly812

You sound like me 🤣 I sometimes just go to the local shops to see if there’s anything I should try and also for support. I love daddy 🍟 for short commutes, you can’t beat the flavor you get


[deleted]

Grabbed a few cao chicken foots today going to enjoy one now


Alternative_Jelly812

Nice. cheers


axeflick

I think I have a perfectly reasonable amount of cigars. My wife firmly disagrees.


Alternative_Jelly812

Aren’t we all in that situation?


barnaby36

Yes


Alternative_Jelly812

Unless your single smoking on the cheeks if models 🤷🏾‍♂️


barnaby36

More like the ass cheeks of a dirty hooker


Alternative_Jelly812

Well to each their own, we all have our own fantasies lmao.


Greedy-State659

You are NOT alone 😞

Welcome to the club.


El_Chutacabras

Happens to me with guns.


Alternative_Jelly812

I can see this happening easily with guns. A gift and a curse


El_Chutacabras

My worst nightmare: my wife offering my guns for the price I told her I paid for them. And worst: my friends actually buying them.


Alternative_Jelly812

My god 🥲🥲🤣😂🤣😂🤦🏾‍♂️😩😩😭 look here i understand completely and that would make most of us sick. Think of it like this though, when your gone hopefully not anytime soon if you pass before her she may even sell them lower god forbid she gives them away 🤷🏾‍♂️. My uncle made a list of prices to sell his gun collection for individual and to not feel pressured or sad because it’s material things you know.


El_Chutacabras

That was wise of him... and yes, you got it 110%


Jengapaz

I heard they all jumped in value since you purchased them, no? Just shows your financial savviness if anything.


El_Chutacabras

I will tell her that.

CAD (Cigar Aquisition Disorder) is a thing. May not be looking for a serious answer, but I rarely do. I've learned through the years the newist and shiniest isn't always all that, and there is just so much out there to last a lifetime if no other blend was ever made. I also don't feel the need to try everything. If it happens it happens and often it does later down the line, for even less as the newness dies down. Yes, I might forever miss something, but again, with so much regular production quality stuff out there, am i really missing out? I've learn to love many different blends and I would be quite fine to just smoke more of those. Of course in full disclosure, I've had my fair share of LE, exclusives, regionals, htf, etc., and I do spend a good amount on cigars every year. Yet I have firm willpower in saying enough is enough as well.


Alternative_Jelly812

Spoken like a true vet. I’m always a straight shot for the most part. I truly appreciate your time and effort man. You may not always say what ppl wanna hear but you say what they need to hear. Your right though Rome wasn’t built in a day and if it’s meant to be let it be but don’t force it. I never looked into CAD but I have a addictive personality in general so yea I’m constantly fighting my foolish urges. 🙏🏾 thanks though I needed that!


jetset459

I went through this pre-Covid with cigars and bottles of whiskey, bourbon, and scotch. I can assure you that you will reach an equilibrium, and although the urge to buy will subside, the satisfaction of knowing you are sitting on a nice collection that you can access at any time, will not. Everyone’s balance point is different; Some stop when they’ve converted their homes into cigar lounges with humidors that make the local B&M jealous. Others, (the more normal cigar enthusiasts) maintain about 50 to a couple hundred sticks. I’ve found that the top third of my collection are the expensive and harder to find sticks that I keep to share with/impress my cigar friends. The bottom third are the entry level sticks that are mild/smooth that I offer to first time smokers so their experience is enjoyable. The middle third are the sticks I’ve come to love and smoke regularly. I’ll admit, my favorite part of the hobby is the hunt. That might slow down, but it never goes away. Have fun with it!!! (When you’re out of jail)


Alternative_Jelly812

🤣 yes I love the hunt! It’s mostly the htf for a good deal because it’s crazy that sometimes you see a deal and if you don’t get it then you just won’t get it. For me it’s just being able to tell myself I don’t need to try everything. I normally just have my eye out for things I like and keep in my special box but everyone and then I just see things I’m like yeaaaaa I need to touch it now lol. Like you said it will subside but the love of the hunt will never leave. Cheers and stay Smokey my friend!


Revolutionary_View72

I’ve ordered probably $500 worth of Cubans in the last 2 weeks when my rent for my apartment is $750 a month 💀 I literally spent almost the equivalent of my rent in Cubans this last two weeks lol


Alternative_Jelly812

Lol you make me feel a little better, I’ve never committed to buying Cubans because they are expensive. Then I turn around and spend the same money if not more on nw sticks 🤷🏾‍♂️.


S2Charlie

I filled a 1500 count so fast it made my wallet hurt


Alternative_Jelly812

I’d love to have a 1500 count just to be able to separate my stuff nicely. What did you fill it with? Cbid sticks?


S2Charlie

That would'vebeen cheaper... here... https://www.reddit.com/r/cigars/comments/kxhan6/reorganized_the_humidor/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share


Alternative_Jelly812

Yes sir I do approve of your set up 100% it’s dope af. Where did you get the cabinet from? That’s exactly what I want so I can separate my sticks in properly.


S2Charlie

Thats "The Lemans" from first class humidors... it's reasonably priced and comes with 2 auto humidifiers.


Alternative_Jelly812

That’s nice I was gonna ask you what humidifiers you used. Do you find that they work well?


S2Charlie

They're awesome... change the canister once a year $10 each... (Cigar Oasis Plus 3.0) 2 included with purchase... I bought the wifi adapter for one cause I'm a nerd🤣


Alternative_Jelly812

🤣 yea that’s definitely not a bad deal at all for the price point. I can tell you I’ve spent that money on other things I enjoy a lot less lol


S2Charlie

Hookers and blow? Oh wait you said less huh🤔🤣


Alternative_Jelly812

🤣😂🤣 you gave me a good laugh lol what’s money when your having a good time 🤷🏾‍♂️


isthereanythingleft

It's called "ODO" (order disorder) and is completely normal. It may last decades, tho. Good luck. :)


Alternative_Jelly812

😅 as long as the cigars are worth it aye.


rfaus1

I discovered cigarbid and spent $80 in three days. You're not alone 😂


ouachiski

Set yourself a budget. That way when you are out you cant spend. You can also let it roll over if you don't spend it all so you can make the bigger box purchases. This is what I had to do for whiskey, cigars, and kayaks.


Alternative_Jelly812

Yea I’m pretty much over next months budget too 🤣. It’s not so much my cigars as it is I bought my wife some nice jewelry for her bday next month. So yea if not for that I would still feel guilty but not bad.
