An interesting day on the Rig.

Most of us when we were under 25 saw a hamlet or a henri Wintermans as extravagant... Not really a surprise you dont see them on here puffing on a cohiba.

Having said that i felt like a 40 year old trapped in an 18 year olds body when i left school so things are catching up nicely now!

30 - alas it seems I have crossed the ‘old fart’ threshold

'old fart' at 30? In that case I guess I was almost an old fart whilst your mother was carrying you! Still life in th eol' dog yet. I believe Moon Dancer is our most senior member these days but he's offline in Cuba at the moment. Anyone else 65+?

I find it really interesting that there are people from all backgrounds, walks of life and ages but all share a common love of the leaf. It really does know no boundaries!

Well there is one boundary. You wont get far without a decent amount of disposable income!

You have addressed the elephant in the room! I once read that the avge cigar smoker starts in his 30's. It might not be so try for the Hamlet's & Castella's we used to smoke in the pub but for Havana's probably pretty accurate. Most of us don't get sufficient disposable income to actually keep a 50 stick humi full until our 30's. I started at 18yo but Havana's at 35yo on holidays to Spain, in the days when they were much cheaper than Belgium, let alone the UK.

Started 33yo. Filled first humi from Cyprus holiday, then from our sponsor, then from Europe. But that humidor lasted years before I spilled into a second one. Then a third only a couple of years ago. Then the $h!t hit the fan last year. [emoji19][emoji39]

Yes, I recognise that expansion tale

I must be a freak then. Started properly aged 21, bought my first humidor and filled it pretty quickly but never smoked particularly frequently. Got into the hobby ?seriously? about 2 years ago and became active on this great forum again after many years in the wilderness. Bought my fridge about 18 months ago and that?s when, as Banos says, $h!t hit the fan, built my collection from a stable 100-150 sticks between 2011 and 2017 to over a thousand now. Luckily my partner has stayed with me despite my costly obsession and she even seems to quite interested in it now and has stopped asking how much things cost, which is definitely for he better.
