I am interested in polling the members here to guage the enthusiasm and depth of their Cuban obsessions.
Please state how long you have been actively collecting (acquiring,) how many boxes you posess,and how many you smoke per week/month.
If interested please list unusual/vintage items you enjoy.

Been buying since early 2009. Used to smoke 3-4 a day. Now down to 3-4 a week. I'm sitting on 30 something boxes. Less than I had at my peak around 2011-12. But I'm still happy at my small collection of CCs. I'm boring, I smoke almost all regular production except some customs and JO bundles. Also have 100ish loose singles in drawers.
(One last thing..... Everything I've ever bought has always been paid for before clicking the pay button)

"Collecting" since late 2008. Have 1 box, 1 jar, jar was gifted and just haven't opened it yet. Maybe 1 CC every 2/3 months (3/4 cigars a month total).

Since 2013ish 1 full box left and tons of singles. Was into CC's at first but never to collect. Started enjoying NC's more mostly because of the hassle.

Picked up my first cc boxes late 08 then botl led me astray to t110s pork chops rats pigs & more . Much more ....thusly abandoning the standard cc box acquisition approach. Ive still managed to seldomly buy boxes, and have 10 or so in various states of decomp.
Pretty much lately have been content with scoring partial amounts of 'da kine vintages and marcas at wades .
My smoking rate
presently is very low @ 3per month minimum.
Thanks !

Still building the collection. I smoke around 30 cigars a year (maybe) and I am sitting on around 10 full boxes. Hoping to keep building.

Actively collecting since 2014. I've bought 20 boxes so far. That's a mix of 10 & 25 count boxes. I have other various singles. I smoke approx. 5 cigars total per week, but only 2 to 3 of those CC's. Y'all are embarrassing me on my smoke rate compared to some of you guys. Maybe I should slow it down lol.

I am a two to three cigars a week guy. I have about 250 (mixed singles and boxes) in the wino with two boxes on a truck for delivery probably tomorrow. (All NC's with the exceptions of some CC's that were gifted to me).

I've been collecting since 2011. Have a couple of boxes in the humi. Haven't been smoking CCs very much lately, NCs have been hitting the spot lately. Maybe 1 or 2 CCs a week.

biggest enemy against my disease is exposure. Don't want to mess that up...

But i like this thread idea
Yes. Please state you have tons of boxes of CCs and then post your address. Also your work hours as well. Thank you in advance.

BTW: I know two of those things already :)
