Too much ordered planning?
I wonder if I'm too OCD when it comes to cigar storage. My humidor must include the following:
An identical pair of long, quality smokes for male company.
A couple of mild, flavored cigars to offer female company.
At least two special occasion cigars for future celebrations, or for the perfect day.
Several lower priced dog walking or golf cigars.
A selection of bargain cigars that I couldn't pass up.
A section for cigars I've never tried before (usually given as gifts)
A section for my current favorites.
And if any of these supplies go low, they have to be replaced!

I think that it's pretty commonplace to own many different cigars for many different situations. So you're on the mark for that.
But personally, I buy the cigar first and then determine the situation that would fit the cigar. For example, I could buy a few cigars, and tell right away that they are mild, flavorful smokes. I would then tell myself, "These are cigars that are suitable to smoke outdoors, during the daytime, in good weather (like golfing). I'll save the rest of these to smoke when I go golfing." Or I might buy some cigars, find it to be an absolutely fantastic and expensive cigar, and think "I should save the rest of these for a special occasion."
What I don't do is go out thinking "You know, I need to find a cigar for golfing." or "I need to find a cigar for special occasions." I just buy different cigars to try them, and then figure out the circumstances under which I would enjoy smoking it the most. And after you do that enough times, you end up collecting enough cigars to have a perfect cigar for any occasion.
