How many people collect cigars just to have them in the humidor? The more i start reading post the more excited i get when i go to the B&M to look around. I just got into cigars awhile ago but having hard to get cigars is very exciting to me. Was wanting to know if that is common or not?
 
Its not uncommon I dont think. I have a few that I cannot get myself to smoke. I do enjoy looking in my humi(s) and having a lot to choose from. :thumbs:
 
I have some very hard to get cigars in the cabinet, but the truth is any cigar I own can fall victim to the flame. Some just require more of a special occasion than others.....some lots more special..... :cool:

I agree cigars are made for smoking, but I save the best for the special moments!! You only live once, enjoy the fine cigars! :thumbs:

you are just cruel, I remember when I first read this board and saw the thread about everybodies humidors.
you are a sick man. the pics of your collection made me sick............of envy.
I don't get jeallous of many things, but man..........my hat's off to you
 
Smoke'm and collect'em, that why i get a fiver at least, that way you do both. They sure look good just laying there, that's why they're hard to collect. I believe i'll have one now! :D :thumbs:

To get to the "very hard to get" smokes in my cabinet, I may have to remove several boxes but I'll get there :sign:

Every day is a special occasion, hell, I may be dead tomorrow, smoke the best today :laugh:

The rarer the cigar the better the sacrifice to the cigar gods. Yes they are a collection, but one to be enjoyed> Which means they will be torched or given away!
 
I don't have the resources to collect.
There are cigars in my humidors that I'm saving for special occasions, but they all will get smoked. :thumbs:
 
I have more than I can smoke before my next buying trip, so in that sense, it is a collection. There is nothing in there that I won't smoke though. Some aren't ready yet, and others are awaiting the right "mood", but they are all for smoking.
 
I guess once you build up inventory that inventory can be called a collection, but to me "collecting" is the acquisition of something either to look at or to hold in hopes of value appreciation.

I have a very nice collection, but I don't collect. For me an occasion special enough to smoke the best thing in my fridge is simply having the time and wanting to grab that particular smoke. I think it's silly to have this cigar waiting for this occasion and that cigar waiting for another occasion. Just grab what you feel like smoking, and smoke it.
