Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?

Which do you prefer when buy cigars?

Box, Bundle, Fivers or Singles?

Whee · 10-21-2008, 04:58 PM

I probably buy more 5vers than anything, thanks to the devil site.

BlackDog · 10-21-2008, 05:07 PM

I've been buying samplers and fivers, but am ready to buy some boxes now.

10-21-2008, 04:59 PM

I say depends on the price. With increase in price comes a decrease in the number I can buy at one time.

Right now I do singles of new stuff, fivers of ones I like, and I've only bought one bundle which was to share. I've yet to take the box plunge.

My next purchase is a cooler, so then the boxes will start.

I am officially done with samplers, I think...

Pete took the words right out of my mouth. I am the same way. I'm on the lookout now for a vino, but with the 28 bottle model being discontinued it's going to be hard. I checked a local target and they didn't even have Vino, they had Haier and something else.

ill buy a box over a bundle, but i have to know that i like the cigar and that i wont be disappointed with it. I buy fivers and samplers of stuff i havent had. Ill pick up some singles at the B&M but same thing as the fivers and samplers, to try new stuff. Only get boxes of the stuff i like.

I totally agree.

Scottw · 10-21-2008, 05:05 PM

If I never had the stick before or are replacing some of my stock, a fiver is great because even if I don't like the stick the first time, I'll try it again and if I still don't love it, I will give it to someone who does or who wants to try. If I find something I LOVE (ie: Rocky Patel Decade) I will but boxes. I bought two boxes of them in the last few months. Never bought a bundle.

5er is good to get going and then I hit the boxes...

WyGuy · 10-21-2008, 05:14 PM

For the most part all I buy are fivers, though if it's a pretty expensive cigar two or three normally suffice.

shemp · 10-21-2008, 05:16 PM

because i'm a cheep bastage, i usually find a name brand smoke that i like at a B&M and then find a bundle that tastes like it, i am usually pretty satisfied.

jaymz · 10-21-2008, 05:18 PM

generally my purchases fall into two categories these days
1) bundles from JoeCigar/CigarMonster/etc
2) Box splits

zmancbr · 10-21-2008, 05:32 PM

When I first started it was 5ers all the way... but moving into the darkness has spurred me to start with the box hunt... I like to try singles to make sure I will like that stick and then I dive into getting a box(es).

brigey57 · 10-21-2008, 06:11 PM

I said fiver but it really would depend on the cigar(s) and the number that I have in my coolador at the time. If the deal is good I would select any and all of those depending on the cigar.

elderboy02 · 10-21-2008, 07:03 PM

Mostly 5'ers.

Ashcan Bill · 10-21-2008, 07:32 PM

Boxes/cabs stack the best.

Martin · 10-21-2008, 07:34 PM

I usually buy 3's, thats how many boxes fit in one box

ucla695 · 10-21-2008, 07:49 PM

I like to sample singles when buying cigars I've never tried before. If I like them, I'll pull the trigger on a 5er for stuff that I want to smoke sooner or a box for sticks that I want to lay down for a while.
