Cigars for watches

What I find amusing is that there is so much cross training of interests among collectors. And that something like cigars are a collectible and have such value. I have been a pipe smoker for a while and the market for sealed vintage (aged) tins of pipe tobacco is insane. Tins of Dunhill they were $3.50 20-30 years ago selling for hundreds. It is indeed just like wine collectors.
Oh man, don't I know it! A good pipe tobacco is a serious pleasure, I just don't want to get back on the stuff again lol

I used to experiment with curing my own blends from various tins with some success. My favorite was a combination of a good Navy Flake and some northern Michigan maple goodness, some imported Madagascar vanilla, and my favorite whiskey!

Produced a lovely, rich smoke and a smooth flavor. The aftertaste was even pleasant.

Used to enjoy cigars and a pipe. Haven't smoked anything in many years. Just fell out of favor for me (fortunate for my health, I suppose). But just wanted to say that this is a very entertaining proposition to hear about and follow. Nice collection of cigars, btw!
It is interesting isn’t it. I’m just selling it locally online. Just threw in that I’d be willing to trade for watch. Surprised anything came up.

Hey, positive surprises are a bonus on a Monday! Good luck, my friend!

I mean, just me, but I prefer those cigars to both those watch options. Hold out for a polerouter or something - that'd be a good trade!

I hear you they aren’t great options but I don’t smoke the cigars. I’d rather see someone enjoy them. I’m not expecting someone to offer a Rolex and I don’t think many people are sitting around thinking of trading watches for cigars so I can’t be too choosey. I’m giving them the humidor as well, no sense hanging on to it
