I am with you bro! When I started here I had a Carlos Torano box with 3 cigars in it. I still remember them...Java by DE, Carlos Torano Virtuoso, and a RP Summerfest....no lie. Things have changed just a bit since then! You are basically just realizing the slippery slope is a bit slick at the top...godspeed brother:)

As I started scrolling down through the pictures, I expected to see somewhat of a problem developing. THAT's the very tip of the beginning of the start of an idea of a small ISSUE. :nodlaugh:

That's why you just get set yourself up with a coolidor and hide it in the closet. Forget all that pimp my vinotemp crap.
Nah, it's not always that easy. I have temperature issues in my house. It's old, and drafty, and I don't feel like paying $400 a month for the AC to run, when my Vinotemp was less than $100. Same story in our RV. Coolers are great, indeed. They still aren't for EVERYone, though. I like my cigars to keep a very uniform temperature.
Yeah my house gets warm too. so I got the wine cooler and then put it in the closet and used some redneck ingenuity. to "pimp" mine out. you do not have to spend $200 on shelves and drawers right away, though they do look cool.


BTW I was 6 months from first 10 stick travel humi to a 28 bottle wine fridge. good luck dude.

Wouldn't you like to know?
When I joined here I a small desk top. The crazyness around here has gotten me up to 2 full 100ct's. I am trying to keep it within that but who knows with the people here

I started out with a 20 count and a box of RyJ CC tubos with a humi-care in it. Still got the 20, (full) and two 100 CT, (full), and a cigar jar, (full). I've smoked most of the RyJ's and I need more room.....dammit.....

My story is pretty similar. In the last 9 months or so, since I really got back into cigars, I've gone from a 50ct. desktop, to a 150 + a 75 + the 50, to my new edgestar 28 that just arrived last week. Just in time, too. I've got a box of el Triunfadors and two 5ers of DPG JJ maddies coming from cbid this week, and I was out of room.

Hi, my name is Dude, and I'm a cigar-a-holic.

Beware of C-Bid, it will be your demise. :pitchfork I had to force myself to stop going there for a while, I am a recovering C-Bid addict. I was on that site first thing every morning trying to get that first bid in, next thing you know you are spending a hundred or more dollars a week with no room to put your cigars. Then you just have to get more humi space. Get the coolidor, it will happen to you too.

It wouldn't be that bad if the FOGs didn't pour the soap and make the slope faster lol. Save up twice what you need for the vinotemp. The only way my wife let me buy the edgestar was to give her the same I spent in cash!

My problem is so bad that I haven't been smoking, per dr's orders, but I seem to keep buying. I told the wife I wouldn't buy till after my surgery so I keep all the new stuff at my b&m and bring home a little at a time as "BOMBS". Have fun cause it only gets worse.

do the words "erectile dysfunction" mean anything to you?
:eyepoke: Nice Bob you know thats not the case. You still have those pics I sold you, right? Everybody knows how much a large, hairy, tattooed fat man.:headroll:

No wink I'm having gastric bypass in November and I cant smoke till after I'm all healed up. They don't want any nicotine in me when I have the surgery. I still sneak one every now and again though.

I started 14 months ago w/ a "satchell" of Puros indios that I bought online for $15. Next came the 1 year COTM membership X2......then came the 20 ct humi....then the 40ct then 2 40cts.........screw it !!! went out to Walmart and bought the huge marine cooler and ordered 6 trays and a bunch of Boveds from Ron......then I was gifted a Box of Cubaos and then I played (and scored) on MMAO ..then a few more boxes..........
..................ITS ONLY BEEN 14 FREAKIN MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone sure that crack is REALLY more addicting???

My wife bought me my 100 ct humi for my first father's day. Now she is always bitching about how "she created a monster." In trade, I've spent a fortune in camera equipment for her (she's obsessed). I'm just glad she doesn't give two shakes about the likes of Coach, Prada, etc..
