As in, the one you smoke while wearing a blindfold?

In a word, NO!

Wrong person to say this too -- I'm older than you are, and so is my little brother. But I didn't begin parenthood until I was 42.

Yea we have two and done and I am 34, I feel like I am trying to grow up as my kids do too. But I am not sure I would want to be starting at 42, I have a hard enough time now. They wear me out every day.
But I stash some money aside every week and that is my cgar money. I sometimes just go buy a few to sample and other times I save up and get a box.
Somehow I expected it would be easier since I was "more mature and knowledgeable." NOT. Probably difficult no matter how old you are.

I was reading about some hopeful wishes from a new guy that isn't gonna buy more smokes than will fit in his 100 count humidor and started thinking back to beginings here. When I wrote the above quote in May of 08, I had just completed building my Cabinet and had it more empty than full, since then I've also set up a Vinotemp and literaly can't add another box to either without some major reorganizing.
Well today:
At the rate I smoke it would take me about 3.9 years to smoke what I've got by myself, and I smoke double what I used to.
A blood load. I can stop buying and leave cigars in me will still. Ok, maybe less. About 1 or 2 years. As long as I don't share nor smoke more than I do regularly. But then again, where's the fun in that?

I am in the same boat on a slightly smaller scale. I now have a Wine cooler humi and I think it is full, but I just bought another box, so it is for sure full now. I could go two years at my current rate with out buying more. But I should be honest here. I'll be finding some more storage here soon.
My 17yo son will be smoking some of my cigars at HIS retirement party (if he starts smoking).

I wasn't here when this thread was active, but I can think back about a year or so ago, I never thought I would fill a 50 count. Mostly because at that time I only smoked a cigar on the golf course and always stopped by a B&M and pick up 1 or 2 and the second one usually came home and once I had about 20 or so laying around in bags with humidity packs, I bought a 50 count humidor. Now a year later my 50 and my 150 are slam full and I have another 50 outside the humis. I keep telling myself I am going to smoke it down to a managable size, then I get on at NHC and before I know have another three 5'ers to try to fit in somewhere.
But back on topic: I probably have a 2 year stash at 2-3 smokes a week
you guys have alot more than me as well.....I started out buying one a day at the local cigar shop and then began to order online and by more and more from the shop....still I got enough for a couple months I guess....got on Monti from ISOM that i have been letting sit for a couple years....saving it for a special time or a weekday...really whenever the mood hits me...
