For Those Who’ve Ever Taken a Break from Cigars - Did Your Humidor Make It Harder or Easier?

[kangaroo]

Hey guys,

I’m considering opening an electronic cigar humidors ecomm store and I want to understand the ethical side of it. The humidors I’m selling are $2000 USD - $4700 USD and stores 600 - 4000 cigars.

For anyone who’s reduced or quit cigar smoking - how did your humidor fit into that transition?
Did you sell it, keep it, or repurpose it?
Did it influence your urge to smoke at all?

My assumption is that the main clientele for high-end humidors are individuals who view cigars as a luxury collectible and a means of relaxation, rather than as a daily necessity. I also presume that most are well-informed about potential health risks and have a level of conscious control over their smoking habits that keeps it within healthy, intentional limits. I also assume if they have a collection of at least 600 cigars, they have the ability to moderate their consumption.

I’m not here to promote anything, just trying to understand whether humidors tend to create friction for people who want to step back from cigars.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Let me get this straight: you want our thoughts on the ethical implications of selling humidors over the internet?

I get that the act of smoking a cigar can be a time of contemplation and introspection, but I think this train of thought might be getting a bit too close to navel-gazing.

I was a successful and happy person until I got my cabinet humidor. Suddenly, I had the uncontrollable urge to fill it up, not with junk, but really good cigars. Lots of them. Wall to wall. Couldn't stop. Instead of a couple a week I jumped to four a day. Couldn't go without. I became unsociable, unless cigars were involved.

I'm still successful and happy, but I do smoke a s#!tload of cigars. Is that the kind of feedback you were looking for...??
