OK so just an update on the situation. I posted the humidors on craigslist for $800 and got no offers. Went to my local B&M where I used to know the owner and asked if he was interested in buying some of my inventory back and he flat out tells me that this is not an option for him. Fine. I go to a different store which is closer to my place. This guy is runs a "cigar" store, but is basically a Hookah smoker and seller who happens to trade in cigars. Anyway, I bring the whole lot to the store, the guy smokes one of my RyJs and flat out tells me that he has "no doubt about the authenticity of my cigars" but since they are illegal, he can't sell them, so he offers me $200 for everything. At this point I basically told him I'd think about it and walked away. Now I don't know about you, but he'll have my balls on a silver platter for breakfast before he has my collection, on which I spent several thousand dollars and priceless patience and years aging, for $200. So I made a deal with myself: I'll smoke one cigar a week from now on. My real problem were cigarrettes anyway, so I think I'll be fine with this arrangement. I've just finished smoking an Opus double corona (which totally kicked my ass, btw. Not the best choice when you've been off of smoking for 5 months :) ) and happy about it. I hope I didn't offend anyone with my initial postings, and since I've inadvertently already started posting here, I think I'll stay. I'll post a little bio tomorrow when the nicotine buzz fades :)

The rest, he can give away to customers. I just can't have these things around anymore...
