So, what is this noob trap? Kinda goes like this:
Noob discovers cigars… Noob likes cigars… Noob discovers cigar auction sites and other online retailers…. Noob goes crazy and starts buying up fivers, bundles, boxes……….(the prices are INSANELY great compared to his shpo)… Noob now has two desktops, two coolers, and a tupperdore…………and 500+ cigars…
And then….
Noob’s palate evolves… Noob realizes he has about 300 cigars he will probably never smoke……………….the “noob trap”.
Digs through humidor, tash nope throws back in, dig (mediocre turd) nah, good cigar yes, meh smoked a ton of these should just about be out…… dammit twenty minutes later I just settle and have a cigar.
