Watch snobs

@Walrus I was in the same boat as you up until last year. LE and Regional releases galore. Limited boxes that filled 5 converted wine fridges(compressor powered....I snobbed that as well and built them to have regulated 62% at all times regardless of compressor), Daniel Marshal only, smoke only with 5 plus years age on them. You know the type of snob I was lol.

Then last year I realized that all the best cigar smoking times that I had were with mostly non-snob part time cigar smokers: the kind that didn't care what it was but just enjoyed the conversation and company. It was like a light switch. Sold off most of my stash. Down to 1 150 count humidor with Anejos and some lighter My Father CT sticks.....and that's it. Feels like a new life 😀

As far as watches go, I think the majority of us watch nuts should be called "watch passionists" as we are all passionate about our watches. We have different brands in our boxes and love them all. Snobs refuse to wear let alone acknowledge anything but their brand as superior. I.E. Rolex snobs....can't stand it when you talk to a person who is a "Rolex (or insert your brand here) is better than everything and you and your watch are peasantly" type of person. They are just like wine snobs who only drink first growth Bordeaux 😗

Oh, that is undoubtedly correct, I primarily use the term in the marketing sense. I do believe, however, that my tastes in a number of areas are superior to most others' 😁
