Atleast you found this place and made a home for your hobby/passion. My advice is this...I made the same mistake your doing right now...buying, buying, buying. Well stop it! Your taste will change as you go along and then you'll be stuck with alot of cigars you lost taste for (Makes for a good troop bomb though). Wait until your taste has developed/settled and then you can stock up on cigars you know you'll always have in your rotation.
Just some friendly advice and the money you save along the way will help you be able to buy the cigars you will really want.

Good advice Ciggy and very true. The trick is to learn that lesson before you start filling multiple coolers!:blush: Just sayin!

Thanks alot for this advice. It is what I am slowly finding out. I have stopped going on the sites for now and trying to find good deals, and instead am just going to smoke through what I have, enjoy them, and then go from there. Thanks again. Hopefully I will settle in, and has been said, find my tasts so I can narrow my buying to what I know I like.

For certain... I was really excited to get a coolidor going, but waited until I had a better idea what the heck I was doing (in terms of cigar buying, anyway). Sure glad I did.

Ciggy has a great point. I think what he's saying is if you think it's bad now wait until you have 2 coolers filled with premium stuff.

Yup. Dam the slope and all you generous botls out there ! I use to think i was cool opening my 50ct desktop humidor to show my buddies all my Macunudos, and Hoyos ( not that theres anything wrong with them ) that i purchased from my local liquor store. Now i cant believe what i see when i open my humi's and see Padrons, Tats, Lp's etc....150 qt coolidor in the near future.

just remember, all you need to roll here is to ENJOY cigars. hoarding them is a temptation (ask my wife!), but look for what you enjoy, expand your horizons SLOWLY and at a pace that works for you, and ask questions at every step. someone here will stup up and answer.

and go get a 150qt cooler. (nudge!)

....or a cabinet that will hold 1,500! :cbig:

......or both....LOL.:wink:
