What do you Collect?

The Java's is a make by both him and Drew Estate I believe. I too am not one for flavored cigars, but those are pretty good. Keep in mind, dont put the Javas in with regular cigars in your humidor.

It's a Drew Estate Cigar made for and distributed by Rocky Patel. I have read to just cut open the ends of the cellophane if you plan on keeping them in the same box, but I plan on finishing up my La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduros before I get a box of Java's. I tried the Java Latte(not sure why) and it didn't do it for me, but the Java Maduro Toro's are yummy. I get more people asking what I am smoking with those than any other Cigar, pleasing aroma.

Very pleasing...Light Cocoa and espresso tones. I tried the cut cello technique and it still made my RP's taste like chocolate.

I used to collect baseball cards when I was younger. . .MY MOTHER G A V E T H E M A W A Y!!!!!!! I about frickin died when I found out.

That's just absurd! Why don't parents know better?!?! I had a good collection as a kid too. Not any more...

Myself, I collect set of Hogan irons. These a thread around about "how many sets" people have. I just got 2 more, I think I'm around 23 sets?

i have so much drum stuff in my basement, its not even funny.

You should meet my dad. He has a rather large snare drum collection. His actual set is out of control. Neil Pert is his drummer god. My dad's set mimics Neil's. You can barely walk in his drum room. I don't know if you go on a pearl drums forum but he moderates at one.

I can relate to a few of you guys!

1. Wrist watches. I've got about 40 (haven't stopped and counted recently) including Breitling, Omega, Rolex, Universal Geneve, Rado, TAG Heuer, Zenith, etc.

2. Putters. Especially older Pings. I've got close to 20.

3. Drum stuff. Lots of snare drums, lots of cymbals. I've got 4 sets, including a set of Roland Vdrums and a vintage Ludwig Superclassic.

4. Bikes. Especially vintage BMX bikes. I've got a thing for old Redlines and Haros. I also have a few roadies and a couple mountain bikes.

I think I might have a mildly addictive personality? lol

When I was younger I actually sold my baseball card collection for $1500 and bought my 1st car....Man oh man that was a long time ago.

That's just absurd! Why don't parents know better?!?! I had a good collection as a kid too. Not any more...

I think I was 20 or so. . .was in college, went down in the basement to find the cards TO SELL. They were mine right? I was doing my best not ask the parents for dough. So I thought what the heck, sell a couple cards.

I had an ENTIRE page of ROOKIE Ricky Hendersons. I think that page alone was worth over $1200. Now probably WAAAY more than that. It still sickens me to think of it. T w e n t y - three sets of Hogan irons, HOLY CRAP!!!

Used to play drums when I was younger. Sold off my last set a couple years back. I still have a couple African style drums, bongos, etc. . .If there's a hippie drum circle out on campus, I sometimes drop in and light 'em up!

..I used to collect guitars..Gibsons... but after I sold a few to furnish a woodworking shop, I kinda switched priorities....
I had plans on getting an Custom Shop Les Paul, but a new furnace took that $4500 bucks..

For a while in college I got into basketball cards again. That was 1991 and then they started to come out with too many brands and series to keep up with. I gave up in 1993 but still have a huge collection that my younger son is interested in.

In 1986 I was playing high school basketball and we were at a road game where there also happened to be a collectibles show going on in their loby. During the JV game, one of my teammates and I decided to check it out. We ended up splitting the cost of an unopened box of 86-87 Fleer basketball cards. It was $16 total. The next day we split them up and each ended up with a full set plus doubles of most cards. I didn't think much about it for a few years until I got into collecting again. I was flipping through a Becketts Basketball guide when I discovered that since there were no mass produced cards from 83-86, the 1986-87 Fleer set is considered the rookie set for many of the great players including Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Dominique Wilkins and Patrick Ewing to name a few. I ended up selling the doubles of most of them for about $500. I still have the full set, including the Jordan card that is valued between $1500-2000 for the set and between $800-1500 for the Jordan card. The price fluctuates and the market is down for that type of thing now. I will likely give the Jordan card to my older son when he graduates college. He is not a big sports fan, but his name is Jordan Michael. No coincidence.

Amoung a number of things I collect logo balls from courses I have played. I have played 516 courses and have 442 logo balls. I will be posting a list of logo balls that I know exist that I am missing. A few are Pali G.C. in Hawaii, Antelope Greens in CA and Lewes G.C. in England.

Bag Tags, i get a bag tag from any course that i play that i feel that i wont play again for a while and ones that i play when i go away. I got about 15 that i keep on my bag so you can hear me coming from a mile away with all the noise from the clanging tags.

I used to collect vintage SxS shotguns, but when the wife and subsequent kids came on board, priorities changed, and I sold my higher end doubles. Still have a few old field grade doubles.

A friend of mine runs this site , and I'd love to have one of these .

Back in kindergarten the bus went K-6th grade. Kindergarten being the closest to the driver. I used to buy so many Pokemon cards the "big kids" would let me sit back there with them so they could rip me off. When I found out I got ripped off, I tattled.
