Very nice Shawn. It looks like we travel down the same path. One that is well worn by the tracks of many others. I am planning on an Aristocrat for my Christmas present! :-)

So... is it the end of the slope because it becomes a sheer cliff? :-)

Bee-Yoo-Tee-Ful!!:-)

I shared your post with my dear mate the Queen Beetch,
noting, "See, I'm not THAT crazed" ("yet", I silently added).
She looked at me, blinked, & busted out laughing, saying,
"Do you really think i'm going to agree with you?"

Loved the progression photos. But don't you think you should perch the original 100-count box on top, just for old time's sake?

Congrats on the new addition to the family.:-)

Youch! Nice new humidor.

Does this mean you now need more cigars to fill up the ones you emptied to fill the big one?

Thanks for all the compliments folks

And no Rev, I figure I have enough smokes for another 10 to 12 years :-)

My wife and I were commenting on that last night. I told her what the results were from your contest and she couldn't believe one person had so many cigars. She asked me how long it would take to smoke that many and I didn't really have a good answer. Doing quick calculator math, avg 1/day, I came up to just about 10 yrs without buying another stick. :-)

Did you adjust for leap years? :-)

Beautiful Aristocrat. Bob's the best.

But I suspect you may find it too will fill up, sooner than you think. :-)

Nice box. :-)

Wow, simply wow.

End? Minor plateaus based upon new storage limits should not be confused with an end point. :-)

I have a feeling there's a similar milepost down the pike for him, Dave! :-)

Dave, thank you so much for posting that pic again. Well, actually, that is a much
more modern pic than the ones I remember. But I always lamented losing the pics I saved
from the first time you posted that behemoth. It is kind of a holy shrine for me. I get the
same feeling looking at it that I got at the grand canyon.
:-)

Also, I am afraid you are right. Although I have been succesful at avoiding the order forms
for MONTHS, it is always down to storage at the end. I have no intention of getting more
storage for now. And the prices are only OK these days. But at any moment, I could revert.
Because storage is a fungible thing.

By the way, please tell me that is NOT a Lincoln Memorial humidor....I thought the one on the
left was a laundry basket at first, lol.
[Reply]

Yep, nice to see a pic of the Shrine again. :-)

YUP. I was led to believe the end of the slope had much more to do with the poor burning
qualities caused by the lack of oxygen available in your average casket. Because that's when the
slope ends, folks. What you are experiencing is more likely something called a breather, or hiatus.
