So, I was looking through the humis

Maybe I'm too newb to reply to this, but here goes:

Wifey & I started 3.5yrs ago and after the wedding got a 75 count thing from Thompson's with a 20-25cigar sampler. Low to middle of the road stuff. From that we picked out our favorites, and bought boxes of those.

The 75 count only maybe allowed for a box here or a box there when the supply ran down.

Fast forward to last year, and I got megador up and running. From there, I started religiously buying a box of standbys, and a bundle of "shit" sticks each month to fill the thing up (it looked pathetic starting out with only 8 or so in there

)

Now comes the corruption

. I join this forum, and do the newb sampler. Wham! I have a bunch of singles mixed in with boxes of low-medium priced smokes. I keep buying a box a month and fivers now and then. Mix in a PIF, and a couple bombs, and the median stash $$ is rising into a solid medium range.

I noticed my purchase for this month pushing me in the solid medium $$ range.

I wanna say I'll never be up in the high price stuff (consistently) anytime soon, but you guys are a bad influence

Started with just the plastic bags you get at the B&M, 2 or three sticks a month, then I made my only Thompson's purchase, I think there were three each of LGC, LFD 2000 and Brazillia Gol. when that arrived, my neighbor gave me a 50ct Thompson's humidor.

That's about the time I ran into this place.... Started with one 48 qt cooler, soon added another...

Then I won a 100 count humi on another board,

Then I started up with the pipe, and I now have 18 glass jars full of bulk, about 3 oz each, two LARGE jars with over 8 ounces each, 8 or 9 tins still sealed, and 4 or 5 open. And 7 pipes.. four nice briars and 3 corncobs.

Now, I have one 48 qt cooler that holds bundles, it's about 2/3 full, another 48 qt for boxes and misc. singles... lid barely closes on this one, the 50 ct is a dry-box, and the 100 ct is for the "special" cigars, and I have to be careful how I close that one, I've already crushed a few cigars since it's packed full also. I smoke around three cigars each day, and I'll grab anything, any value, any time.. whatever catches my eye, but probably averages on the day around the 5 to 7 dollar per cigar range.

All this from just under two years hanging around here!
