Cigar Hording

[Emperor Zurg]

Hey Hey Hey! Don't go pointing fingers at me. I am gentle as a mamma alligator with my sticks. I get these when they show up damaged to our warehouse and instead of throwing them away I RESCUE them. I am a cigar saint I tell you!

Wait a minute... are saying that you get...

FREE CIGARS?!?!?

[Branzig]

But I know nothing about pipes! In fact, we got samples of pipes from a vendor last week and I couldn't tell if they were damaged or if they were supposed to look like someone chewed on the stem...

Haha! I'm guessing if the stems look chewed they're estate pipes. Need to restore them up and sell them along side your new house blend.

Or sell them as is along with your broken sticks. Ding and dent center!

Have the mind please to consider, tobaccos essential need to carry our thoughts though its sacrifice. If having not the means for repairs in self, perhaps consignments. At least, please, .. the fire pit and a thought. Never throw away.

Hahaha yes I do on occasion. Considering any new line we bring on in-house has to get my thumbs up, I smoke a lot of "free" cigars. In fact, when we were first trying to launch our house brand military cigars (At Ease) I went through probably 100 different blends to find one I liked enough to put our name on them.

Nope, turns out the shipping box rubbed against the stems and scuffed them all up

It's a tough job but someone has to do it!

The only cigars I hoard or collect is my LP collection. For the most part I have one of everything that I plan on keeping as a set. Extras get happily smoked. I never set out with that goal it just sort of happened and when I realized it I didn't want to smoke anything that would incomplete my set. Nothing else gets hoarded or collected just acclimated and smoked.

Just curious - do you rotate your sticks out of your set if you acquire a second one? So if you have a vitola that is in it's prime (say two years old), and you acquire a second one - which one do you smoke?

Normally, I don't complain about smoking free cigars, HOWEVER, some of those unbanded sticks were absolutely painful. You'd be surprised how terrible unbanded sticks can be, the quality control of SOME of these just go out the window since the company that makes them aren't putting their names on them

Fire pit OOOOOOOR cutter testing experiments!
