While, I don't anticipate making purchases of that magnitude, I'm already beginning to see the "warning signs" of the supposed "sickness". When my box went from 2 sticks to 8 sticks yesterday, I began to realize cigars aren't only for smoking... they're also for collecting. My mother collects thimbles - SHE DOESN'T SEW! At least I'm collecting something I intend to use (...that's the angle I'm currently using to justify it to myself!). [angel]
I can see how boxes are a better deal, and perhaps in time that'll be the route I go. Right now, I'm still trying to sample as much as I can as to get a feel for what I like/dislike. I've yet to smoke the same cigar twice, and I've yet to find a stick I didn't want to finish.
By the way, you mention "aging", which begs the question: How long can I store cigars in my humidor, assuming the conditions are good?
