BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Are you a "collector", a "smoker", or somewhere in between

A box to put away and a box to smoke over the next two years and share with some friends is the way to go, butthat I get the best of both worlds.

Same here Rob :thumbsup:
I'm a bit of both but becoming more the smoker just because I feel guilty to collect something so long that probably cost a small fortune and then torch it. I'd rather just buy what I like a smoke more. Just an FYI on tats I read somewhere that they are meant to smoke now that the tobacco is at it's prime and will never smoke as good as it is fresh. I find that some of them that are over a year old are a little less than the fresh ones but different smokes for different folks that's what makes it so much fun. I had the pleasure of smoking the frank it was the frickn' bomb!

A little of bot as well, I smoke a lot of what I have but I did get a few boxes last year that Ihave not cracked the seal on. I know what they smoke lie now and I want a few years on them to blow my mind off.

Well said!
I also am a bit of both. Though what most call "collecting", I consider it ageing. I get all "jones'd up" thinking of what some of the sticks I have will taste like in a year or 2. Most are Tat's, of course.
I collect zero cigars. Good cigars I like I age - to me that is not collecting. I am also seriously OCD about trying everything out there under the sun. To that end I have tried over thousands of different cigars, I get especially frothy about new releases. But I get excited about smoking them. Why collect a cigar? That to me makes no sense, the enjoyment I get out of cigars comes in smoking them. Just my opinion though. 
I always try to collect - I buy a box of Tats, or PAM's and stick them in the back, but I end up "seeing how they are smoking" on a certain day. Before I know it, the boxes are empty.
I'd say I'm a 100% smoker, 0% collector.

You could only call me a collector if you allow for saving better smokes for better occasions. I enjoy burning them too much.
Also, I don't have the money right now to collect. It's hard enough affording a good smoke.

I'm by no means a collector...I guess you could say that I follow the rule.."Smoke em if you got em!"

They're my favorite cigar! I actually meant to say the PSD3s from 2001. Don't know why I typed in '03. The younger ones are still really good, tho.

I would have to say I am a bit of both. For the simple fact I have various cigars that are rather expensive that I have aquired and can not bring myself to smoke, and then also I have come to find that I have some cigars that are much older than I thought. So again I can't bring myself to smoke them up. But then most of the time I buy cigars to smoke and not hoard.
Well, ye are truly lucky, mate! I have yet to even see a PSD3 from '01 (got into the hobby in '04 and well...there aren't many cigar smokers here). Though living here has its advantages as well (like a 5 min. walk to the nearest LCDH :smokingbo).
And I'd like to add, me "collector" part is merely temporary; they are all a "to smoke one day".
