Cobsgirl,
Since you've obviously invested alot of money and time in cigars and humidors, and you obviously enjoy very much, it sounds like you will have a long and enjoyable career as a cigar aficionada. IMO, variety is the spice of life and sampling a wide number of cigar products (ocassionally buying a box that is just too good to pass up) is something I continue to do to this day. I certainly hope you do.
I think my father-in-law bought me a humidor to get me out of his. Before I met him, I would burn a stick once in a while, but the variety of smokes he had, the smell from his cigar cabinet and style he used in selecting, cutting, lighting and then smoking, I'd never thought about or known. He is European (French) and there is a way to do everything -- a mystique. When he comes for a visit , the first thing he does is greet my wife and our children (it sounds like a french football team discussing plays). Then, he heads straight for my office in the back of the house and inspects my humidors and cigar cabinet. If everything is as it should be (and I mean everything :roll: ), he smiles, cuts two cigars, we light up and he explains a bit more of the elan history of cigars.
If I could make a suggestion: read on this forum the "Sunday Morning Smoke" hosted by Vince and Bloofington. There's a wealth of knowledge, humor and style in those posts. I would recommend starting on page 1 (it's up to page 14 now).
