View Full Version : Thinking about liquidating

I am thinking about selling all of my cigars. I just don’t smoke very often and it’s been this way for at least 2-3 years. I quit buying and even looking a long time ago. I’m still undecided, but have been thinking about it for a while and frankly a little extra cash would be helpful. I need to talk to one of my boys that occasionally enjoys a good cigar and I told him when I am gone, he gets my collection. But I think he too rarely smokes cigars anymore. I will likely speak to him later today. I haven’t mentioned it to my wife, but she would say SELL SELL SELL! So I leave her out of the discussion. We will see what happens.
A new store opened up about 3 months ago and I noticed they brought in an upright humidor. I spoke to the manager (or owner) last week and he said they will be stocking it soon. They mostly sell alcohol and carry a large selection of sought after/ high priced booze.
If I do sell out, I hope I am still a welcome member. I really do feel connected with you all and consider you very good friends.
Still thinking!

You're going to give us BUMs / piranha first dibs, right?
I can't see anything else changing, nor why it would. A good BUM is a BUM for life.

Thanks TJ, I appreciate it. I spoke to my son and he said if I need to sell to definately go for it. And if I do sell, I will list them here first. It will likely be a little on the block each month. I never thought I would EVER do this, but life sometimes requires tough choices.
If any of you have gifted me anything special that you want back, PM me and I will find it and get it back to you.

You know you got good sticks youxan probably get some return on your investment. I would say keep the bombs and gifts unless you never plan on smoking again.
Your still always welcome smoking or not.

Once a Bum, always a Bum. We'll have to figure out Secret Santa for you, but you being a Swifty helps.

A man has to do, what a man has to do!
As I'm sure you've experienced with other things, life will let you know when it's time to change/stop whatever it may be.
No one has to tell you the joys of smoking a good cigar, you've already done that! So if it's time to change direction, by all means, go right ahead.
And as stated already, you're a Bum for life!

Wow, Steve!
We all know life moves in stages and things come and go to suit our needs and desires. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
Steve, you will always be welcome here. You’re part of the family! You don’t have to be actively smoking in the moment, your wisdom and experience is enough to carry on forever.
You might have to change your screen name, though. [emoji6]

Pretty sure I gave you a box of 2011 Cohiba lanceros ... :rofl::rofl::rofl:
Seriously, though - don't be a stranger.
Like me ...
Yeah, my smartass is probably back ...

For anyone interested, this weekend I think I will list a box for consideration. Just a little heads up for anyone who likes playa cigars.
