Wed, 24 Sep 2008 21:25:00 +0000 http://www.stogieguys.com/?p=1885#comment-52931 While I approve of Patrick's list and his enthusiasm, I should throw out a contrarian word of caution against "investing" in cigars as held commodities. Keep in mind that, no matter how valuable an item in your possession may be on paper, it's only worth as much as you can get someone to pay for it (and reasonably quickly, depending on your liquidity needs). If, heaven forbid, the economy sinks even lower than it's already sunk, you'll have a very hard time selling off any of your stogies to fellow collectors, much less retailers or friends or other industry hobbyists. In my opinion, a great cigar held for many years is a personal investment in entertainment. It shouldn't really be seen as much more than that (unless you're incredibly well connected to deep-pocketed buyers, and happen to think you could broker rare cigars as a serious hobby). Just my $0.02, though. While I approve of Patrick’s list and his enthusiasm, I should throw out a contrarian word of caution against “investing” in cigars as held commodities.

Buying more cigars now will encourage you to do that more often.
