2016 is upon us bums. And enough with the lose weight or save money resolutions....what are your cigar resolutions for 2016?
Mine would be to buy smoke more cigars with other cigar lovers. It's so easy to let time slip. Now is the time for cigar smoking brotherhood!
Also I'd say a resolution of mine is to buy less limited production cigars. You can go crazy chasing them!
Mine is to ramp up my cigar budget per month and buy all kinds of stuff expensive and inexpensive. I would like to get in on some passes and maws and have some sticks to do so. Oh and bomb as many people as I can, I owe a lot of bums.
Mine is to go liga crazy and get some more unico boxes and make it to cigarfest this year and the Connecticut barn smoker event again as well. Also restart the search for a cheap wine cooler for a winador to consolidate my collection lol
I'd like to build up a little more of a stock to keep on hand.
I generally have around 20 sticks or so in the tupperdore. I'd like to have a little better selection on hand.
Oh, really ?!?! LOLQuote:

I only ever get to smoke by myself or with my regular golf buddies and I'd like to meet some of you Bums - even you Mr. Rockets :poke:
That and continue to try as many different sticks as I can to discover hidden gems I know are out there :thumb:
Let me clarify my thoughts on limited production or release cigars. Tatuaje Monsters don't count! Since they get released every couple of years in a new size I don't consider them too limited...makes sense right? Plus, if you buy enough of them they aren't limited to you!Quote:

My cigar resolution is to buy less and smoke more. One stick a month while buying a box a month doesn't make much sense. On the flip side, I want to get my house done so I can start my cigar lounge to allow me the opportunity to smoke more no matter what the weather is like. Heck, I might even put a TV in there with NFL ticket to give @DogRockets a place to sit and watch the bungholes play.
well you in luck with not buying limited runs because tat is no longer doing them and store only sticks and well Gurkha dose not have anything close to a limited or htf sticks lmaoQuote:

I resolve to not buy into the hype. Too many boutique companies are selling via the cult of personality ala DE. I like Steve Saka but the Sobremesa is a terrible cigar. The El Gueguenese from Foundation is OK but certainly nothing to write home about. All hat, no cattle.
i have to disagree i really like the Sobremesa. i think it is a great stick especially for its price. i like the boutique brands and everything they are bringing to the table. there is something for everyoneQuote:

My resolution for 2016 is to buy cigars from only my local B&M stores. It's good to support them if I want them to continue to stay in business, and it's way too easy to binge out on CBid for a few days and next thing you know, you've racked up a dozen or more auction wins.
most people who are really into limiteds buy more than a box. if they like em they smoke em if they don't like em they usually sell them becasue someone wants more to smoke or someone wants them and missed out on em or they buy them just to collect em without ever wanting to smoke emQuote:

......I want to do twice as much mayhem an destruction on BUM's as I can for 2016........
I'd like to smoke more cigars this year, I'd also like to meet up with more Bums, and smoke more cigars with company, in general.
As far as "work" is concerned, I'd like to source some SC lumber and build some real shelves for my wineador (currently just stacks of boxes).
I've done well with really limiting my new purchases, so that shouldn't be much of an issue, and if I finish this damn wineador, I can likely get rid of at least one of my coolers- if not both.
Maybe traveling some more and meeting up with fellow Bums around the country too, as that has so far never let me down one bit :thumb:
So...I hear New Orleans is nice this time of year!Quote:

Well the weather channel say's it's 49 degrees here...I'm sitting by a fire. I don't play well in the "cold". Come on down to NOLA...Mardi Gras is soon... Fair warning, prepare your liver!Quote:

I will say, that first box purchase for yourself is an awesome feeling! Mine was a box of NUB Cameroon's. I'm so glad that I don't regret my first box. That is the perfect little cigar for me. I've since bought a few others but those NUB's have been great for the quick easy relaxing smoke that you have to have as a good standby!Quote:

We essentially have opposite resolutions lol!Quote:

I have a good stash going and hope to consolidate, as most here have said.
I have my favorites already. I just want to buy those and spread the wealth this year.

Kicking Ass this year already! Pretty much packed everything else to the peak - but got rid of the smaller cooler today! :yes!::yes!::yes!::yes!::yes!:
