Here's what I did to slow me down a bit. My local shop has lockers for rent to store your "excess" cigars. You know, the ones you don't want the wife to know about. Well, what I try and do, and I stress the word "try", is to put half of whatever I buy in the locker ASAP. It is a bit of a trip for me to get to the store and it saves my stash from ransacking. I actually have a few things in there that are @ a year old. Woo-hoo!
