Simon Bolivar's 16month Diary

[Simon Bolivar]

Here's my list for since Aug 2013, 170 cigars less than most on here, more than some. The interesting point I wanted to show was that when I say I am putting my new cigars into my rotation & I still have cabs going after 8yrs, it's because I can go 16months & about from Hoyo Epi No 2 x4 & a handful of vitolas of which I had x3 sticks, the rest vitolas were just smoked once or twice. I first noticed this in Nov'14 & so kept it going but so far I reckon I can go awhile longer yet. The first number is the date of age, where known & the second my score for the cigar. Hope you might find some of this info interesting. An approx. avge age of each cigar = 12yrs. Be interested to hear from others with large collections, do you have similar smoking patterns or do you tend to work through a dozen boxes until they are gone or flit from on to another?

[Wigan]

Holy crap! Very impressive dude!

[ValeTudoGuy]

Yeah, that's an intimidating list!

[Simon Bolivar]

LOL, hope it isn't intimidating Marc, it was a bit of a surprise to me in Nov when I took a look at it & noted the low number of repeats (yeah 4 Hoyos no2's what can I say,? I have a weakness for them, can't say no. But they were from 3 different dates.'99, '01' 04. The first two were gifted & the '04 is my current oldest cab. I have already started the next as I really don't want to finish the last few of the '04 just yet. If anyone tells you Hoyos don't improve with age, they just haven't been patient enough! Sure you could find a few of the cigars on the lsit Marc, try taking plently of sticks to the herf & you might be able to play swapsies.

[ValeTudoGuy]

Intimidating probably isn't the best word, awe inspiring is probably closer.

Theres a great range of 90+ sticks but 3x 98's a 99 and a 100 in such a relatively short space of time! Wowzers

[wayne_w]

That shows immense dedication, to keep such a diary of smokes Mr B

[parnaby]

That is a very impressive collection. I'm not sure I could keep hold of smokes that long, I'd be too tempted to light them up! Guess we'll see in a few years down the line.

[mightyred]

Magnificent collection Simon.

My collection today in the cave, + 3 Coolidors & 3 5 drawer + Humis. A buy a couple of years ago & My BBF's I have aged these 8yrs but won't try the first until 10yo. I know they would be fine now, this is an exercise just to say I once kept a cab for 10yrs.

[PeeJay]

I didn't realise the 'Keep calm etc' range had been going so long

[Simon Bolivar]

Dec '13 I think.
