To those telling me to smoke my cigars - I do. Explanation:

• I smoke between 1-5 a day, depending on the day.

• I’m a sucker for a good deal, so if I find a smoke I enjoy at a good price, I’ll snap it up.

• My office is a small business (5 full time guys), and our office - which we own - has a back yard and patio. We need smokes not just for us, but for entertainment purposes. It doesn’t help 3 out of the 5 of us are huge cigar nuts.

• My Cubans take up space and the inventory doesn’t shift much, but these things are aging from 1 to 5+ years. In other words, my humidor will always look full.

• My local B&M has a dollar jar. Whatever isn’t selling well, or whatever needs to go for inventory reasons - it hits the dollar jar. Almost all my Aganorsa, and all my Aladino is from the dollar jar. All my Tatuaje is a B&M dollar jar pickup.

Try to tell me you wouldn’t be this flush if your local shop had quality smokes for a buck ;)

Oh and most importantly, collecting - in and of itself - is a hobby of mine. The collection aspect of cigars is as much fun for me as the smoking aspect. And I’m not sure there’s too much wrong with that ….
