and the coolers over the last couple of days just kinda sorting things out and rummaging around and I noticed a few things that kinda surprised me. So, I pulled up some old pictures of my stash and started comparing them.

The earliest pictures I have......the humi is crammed with Thompsons house shit-sticks. And there is only one humi.

The next group of photos......there were two humis.....very few Thompsons.....and a variety of sticks in groups of 2-3 of each. 2 or 3 HTF or high $ sticks in total.

The third group of photos there were two humis and a 120 QT cooler. 1 Thompson shit stick......large variety of singles......many 5-packs of a limited number of smokes......a few boxes. Quite a number of Opus----GOF----ISOM----and other high $$ sticks.

Looking at it now..........the Opus / GOF/ ISOM/ HTF are much less prominent and more targeted. The number of singles I have is as high or higher than when I first started. Way more 5 packs of selected brands, and it seems as if this category continues to grow. A few more boxes, but not a whole hell of a lot. I still have the 1 Thompson. Still 2 humis and the cooler.

I find myself less and less interested (for lack of a better word) in chasing the HTF's, or shelling out big bucks for smokes because they're "limited". I still enjoy the hell out of smoking as many different sticks as I can, in the mid to lower price ranges.......hence all the singles.

It seems that 5-packs and singles dominate my stash. I would have expected it to be boxes and 5 packs by now.....with not so many singles. It also seems that my preferred smokes fall into the mid range in price as well. This kinda shocked me, I thought it would have been weighted slightly towards the higher end, but this is certainly not the case.

I'd like to hear how some of your stashes have changed since you began.
