Re: What's a reasonable amount of cigars to have on hand?
I would say speaking from the Habanos perspective, I would think that a person would need 3-5 boxes of Cohiba,
5+ boxes of Partagas, 3-5 of Montecristo, 5-6 Bolivar and 5-10 boxes of other varied brands and you'd be set for awhile, and happy, I might add. So I would say between 500 and 900, provided you had good storage. I would also say that was bordering on sick, so I would say reasonable is 500 cigars. |

Re: What's a reasonable amount of cigars to have on hand?
About 30. Enough to have for friends when they come over and enough to get me at least through 2 weeks to 3 weeks. That is reasonable. I have to now ask myself why I am so unreasonable

Re: What's a reasonable amount of cigars to have on hand?
I usually have about 45 on hand. Mind you, by "on hand" I mean in the zero waiting to be smoked and gifted.

But what's interesting is when I have non-forum friends over, who point out-- "Man, you have a LOT of cigars!" So to them, I'm not all that reasonable at all.

Any number that makes my wife think I'm in control is the exact same number my non-forum friends think is bordering on out of control. 200-250 fits that bill. If I had the funds and space, I could probably convince my wife Brad's idea of cigars management made some sense. Then 900-1000 would do. If she, or my friends, saw some of the collections posted here, they wouldn't believe it. I guess I'm numb to it by now. Hey, you can't take it with you...

Re: What's a reasonable amount of cigars to have on hand?
Yep, most of my friends are the same way. They come over and see my desktop with 40-50 and ask why the hell I need so many cigars. I usually forget to tell them about the cooler sitting beside the desktop that is packed full.

If I were a non-connected cigar smoker, that would be one thing but keeping up with bombs, trades, and Herfs makes it almost impossible to keep a reasonable collection. If I went off the grid, I would think 500 would be resonable.

Re: What's a reasonable amount of cigars to have on hand?
Reasonable "on hand" - two boxes. One box to smoke, one box in waiting. As soon as the other box is gone, you order another one. That's what I am going for.

Re: What's a reasonable amount of cigars to have on hand?
For me it's about 100, it seems management is just so much easier. Would I love to have 1000, yes but for now 100ish does me well and keeps the wife happy.

Re: What's a reasonable amount of cigars to have on hand?
Mine wonders why there's an empty spot in the display humidor, she thinks it looks silly. I don't there an unreasonable number for her so long as I keep her wineadors stocked.

Re: What's a reasonable amount of cigars to have on hand?
Currently less than 100 in my vino. So sad...let the rock throwing begin. I never used to be like this. I'm Andrew and I'm in need of a cigar therapist.

Re: What's a reasonable amount of cigars to have on hand?
I would say...
5-6 boxes = 125 20 x 5ers = 100 Randoms = 100 I'll go with 325. Gives you a couple boxes to ages, couple boxes of everyday smokes, some new smokes to try and some to give to friends when they come over. Looks like i have some catching up to do
