Cuban cigars

[TonyN]

So what you're saying is not addiction to the drug in the lead but addiction/obsession to collecting. Yeah I had a spell if obsessive buying as many others have when new to the forum but I have that under control now. I'd love to have a cigar cellar for ageing specific stock and one unit upstairs for smoking stock but I think I'll have to be content with my scuba box and desktop singles humi for now.

Exactly tommy you hit the nail on the head thats what i've been trying to say from the begining not on about the smoking of cuban or non cuban cigars
but the buying side of it thats the addiction .

Aha, adopted the MLW abbreviation I see

I have indeed! I saw it and I thought yes 'My Lonely Wife' was more apt than 'The Mrs'!

I'm going to say obsession for me! It's also not just the Cigars themselves, it's the ever increasing collection of books, ashtrays, lighters cutters, punches etc. If I look at my Ebay 'recent search history' it's 90% cigar related! It's a fantastic hobby and one where it's not just about collecting 'stuff', you get to actually experience the pleasure of smoking the cigars too. With new releases and LE's and RE's always coming out, there is always something fresh and new to try which prevents the hobby going stale. Previously to joining in here, my main issue was finding people who shared the same passion as do! I know MLW was just about sick of hearing about it!

Neither for me , smoke one when i fancy one , daily ,weekly , monthly , wateva

I enjoy a cigar when on holiday , kick back and relax , lifes little luxury,s .

I dont consider because someone may buy boxes 25 , 50 , it becomes an obsession , rather just a sensible way of having aged stock , for the future .

I enjoy reading about cigars and forum members input , but its for knowledge , the banter etc , i visit other sites , forums about breeding native birds etc , keep birds myself , its a hobby

So , no addiction or obsession for me , just one of many interests .

Stocked up now, plus Winter's around the corner - so that obsession will fade out
……till Spring

Till the next irresistible box split offer more like!

For me over the past, I'd say it has been more of an obsession.
You think about them (prior to having them) and thoughts develop
in to an obsession until you've gone out and purchased them...

I think most of our modern society is addicted to shopping nowadays and cigars are just a male orientated way to participate. Check how many DVDs/books you've got before you cry foul. Of course I'm not including those who live off the grid like you Marc.

Neither for me, it has been a regular pastime that required the purchase of stock to continue my enjoyment. Currently it's an irregular pastime that doesn't require the same level of stock replenishment.

Lads i'm not talking about obsession and addiction in smoking cuban or non cuban cigars
i'm on about buying them wether singles boxes and cabinets.
Still think we are addicted in buying and obsessed in reading and writing about them
in my case sometimes dream about them .

Hooked on 20 plus a cigs day for close to 2 decades. Tried heaps of ways and heaps of times to quit and it always eventually ending in eventual failure.
Hello cigars and pretty not much looked back. I think I twice tried to smoke a cig in the first month when out on the piss, couple of draws and nearly sick. Can go a week easy without smoking a cigar, no problem. None of the short temper or hart palpations at the thought of going without a cig. Sometimes smoke cigars 4 a weekend, sometimes 1 or even none. Take it or leave it.

I do spend an awful lot of time thinking about cigars and planning my next purchase I will admit. Or even just walk past CASC and can`t stop myself from going in and buying one. That said it could potentially sit in the humidor a month or could get smoked that night.
