Rearrange the humidor(s) when they get bored, or feeling down?

They are my favorite toys. Everytime one supply gets a little low or I add another box or multple singles, I have to rearrange everything. Of course with all the different sizes, shapes and colors, it may take a few attempts.

My humidors rarely get bored. I take them to the Zoo and Bowling.

Has anybody's girlfriend/wife ever switched the bands of your cigars just for fun while you were at work?

Mine did...

That's wierd. At the time you posted this, I was getting out of bed, and rearranged a couple cause I couldn't sleep. Got back in bed and fell right out. LOL!

Yes, she is still my girlfriend. We had a good laugh about it after I switched the bands back.

However, she did lose a few fingers for my troubles...

You crack me up, GYO ... that was just TOO funny ...

Luckily for you, your're not relieving their boredom by taking them to the little petting zoo that was near my (then) home years ago .... at that little zoo, the "king" monkey among the d 15 or so who were in the rather large monkey cage would sit near the bars at the front of the cage and mooch smokes from visitors who were smoking as they passed his cage ...

He'd 'shout' and make a "gimme" gesture with his hands until he got a smoke ... he prefered cigars but would also take cigarettes, although he'd pull any filters off and toss those back to the the donors ... he liked all the smokes better if they were lit, but wouldn't reject any that were not ... he'd inspect 'em briefly to see if they were lit and if not, he'd just shove it in his mouth and eat it ... but, he'd puff a while on the lit ones and would then always eat the flame first before shoving the whole thing in his mouth ...

Steve, what a great story, I would have loved to see that.

I have to admit that I too open my boxes periodicly to do a little rearranging, make sure the bands are all facing up (old grocery store clerk) and consider my inventory. Always say I don't need to order for a while and promptly get online to see what availabele.

Its a sickness

As Sam said, I tend to not only re-arrange the contents of the humi, I am always taking pains to be sure the bands are all 'displayed' right ... and my buying habits are long-since out of control ...

If he's right that it's a sickness, I may be terminally stricken ...

So what are you supposed to do if you play with your stick too much and the wrapper is a bit, ah, damaged?

SteveS, That monkey sounds a lot like Mr. Mean. Maybe eating cigars runs in the family.

E,

If I play with my stick too much, it often needs "humidification"...a nice damp place to put it...but I've not damaged the wrapper beyond being able to enjoy it...Sometimes a tear or scratch here and there just requires a lick or two before smoking...

ahhh...the inuendos...

I often rearrange my two rubbermaidadors just to see what I got in there...helps me keep track of what needs to age a little further too.

My wife is convinced I'm having an affair with my humidor. Now that I have over a 400 cigar capacity my hands probably spend more time on my smokes than on her. My rotation stratagies are nothing short of acute anal retentiveness. Funny...whenever the old lady gets pissed at me the first thing she threatens is my cigars. For her sake, I hope she never makes me choose between them.

Now that you entered the thought into my mind... I did. It took so little time I felt depressed. Now I will have to start some serious bidding.

I clicked too early. I might have to get a secondary drop off point for these smiley faced boxes that keep showing up. I have to pay twice every time my wife sees the stupid grinning cigar box.

The stereotype of a guy who gets a quiet little second address not known to his wife sure isn't so he can be sent cigars in peace ...
