Newbies Beware - This could happen to you

March 09th I returned from my first trip to Cuba with a whole bunch more knowledge (relative to what I knew before I went there) and I came home with 30 cigars. Shortly after that, I found this board and it has been, to say the least, a pleasureable experience. Everyone said "Buy a humi bigger than you need. get a big one, you won't be sorry". Did I listen?? NOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTT. March 17th, I decided to go shopping & I bought this for $150, and clearly remember being so proud:

I owned a grand total of 35 cigars.

This weekend, I was filling my new humi (3rd one, not including a coolidor and 3 tupperdors),and looked over my existing collection. I was amazed at how much I had collected in just 4 short months. I also realized how much is out there I still want to try!!

Here's what I currently have:

Trust me when I say "When the FOGs talk, us Newbies should listen"!!

I'm lucky. My Better Half doesn't bitch and whine about how much I've spent on cigars, and I'm also sure there are many out there who aren't so lucky.

Here's links to pics of the tray contents, and the bottom section of the Humi as well:

An inspiration to us all!

Yes Newfie it is a lesson all should take to heart. I now am on my seventh humi, not including travel humidors and I still don't have enough room for my long term aging.:smiley16:

September 29th!! :smiley20: :smiley32:

Funny thing is....Ya gonna need even more to hold those cigars. :smiley4:

I could and still can't resist somking anything no more than 3-5 days after I get it, so I find it hard to over fill my humidor that holds only 20-25:smiley9:

If I had more disposible income my stash would look like that.

I am in your same boat Newfie. I now have 3 humidors and today I will be adding two tupperware containers.

Also doesn't help that I have only been able to have one cigar in the last month. I think I Am starting to twitch!

Finally getting my old schedule back...I am gonna be a friggin chimney come next week!

Newfie, we may need to trade some! haha

Someone has been doing some heavy duty buying.

You have a real nice collection there. Congrats.

Wow, just got a 2nd humi to put flavored smokes in but due to lack of funds am still more or less covered with my 100 count humidor.

i emphasize totally. i started out with 25 cigars not too long ago, and now i am filling a 75 count after my 150 overflowed!!! it seems when i go in to a B&M saying only 50$ i come out with 80 in smokes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but i am loving this new hobby even with the cost!

Wait- I thought you were supposed to smoke them.. Looks like you have some heavy smoking ahead of you-

Cheers-:smiley9:
