    Default How did this happen! ?

    OK, I only started smoking cigars a little over a month ago. Just a few minutes ago DHL came by with my latest purchase from the Devil Site: 2 double blade cutters and a 5 pack of CAO Brazilla Gol!

    So I open up my humidor and guess what?

    There's No Room!



    Between sampler packs, Cigarbid madness, Montecristo free cigar websites and the Newbie Exchange, I've got more cigars than I can fit in my humble humidor! How the hell did this happen? Just a month ago it was a simple hobby, all I wanted to do was to have a good cigar every now and then. Then I met YOU GUYS and I seem to have developed an obsession.

    Oh sure, you told me that I would need twice as much humidor space as I thought I'd need. You told me I'd have coolers full of cigars soon. But did I listen?

    So I pulled everything out of the humidor so I could place them back in neatly and carefully in the hope that they would all fit somehow. As I laid them out I was stunned at how many cigars I've ended up with. Holy Smokes!


    It was only a month ago that I was the newbie with his 15 cigar sampler pack and a humidor so empty that you could hear echoes as I closed the lid. All of a sudden I discover that I'm a cigar collector. How did this happen? ( I blame ChefChris. I'm not sure why it's his fault but it seems like the right thing to blame it on him. )

    OK, I have to go smoke some of these guys. I'm hooked, I might as well admit it.

    Just wait... I started with about 20 cigars last april -- at last count I'm up over 600 and still growing! And I've given away a shitload and smoked a bunch more. Better get started on that humidor. I hope you have enough exotic wood to make a couple of end tables!

    El Cheapo Extraordinaire!? You are a sick sick man Chris.

    If you check the bands on the cigars in my photo you'll notice a consistency of quality that in inconsistent with an El Cheapo.

    OK, so what do I have next? The Montecristo white? A Rocky Patel 1990 Vintage? Ghurka Exbidition? Maybe a Nepalese Warrior? Or one of the CAO Gol! Decisions decisions.

    Yeah, I was told. But did I listen? [Dru hangs his head and goes shopping for a cooler and some beads]


    P.S. No More Cigarbid until 2007! I swear!

    Has anyone actually ordered this sampler? I wouldn't order it for myself but I'm curious if it is even worth buying just to have extra cigars handy for my cheap ass friends who show up empty handed on poker night? Would it be too much punishment handing them a cigar from this sampler?
