What's a reasonable amount of cigars to have on hand? - Page 3

lbowles2 · 06-13-2011, 08:42 AM

I think I'm happiest with my Vinos about 90% full. At that level I have a really good selection and just a bit of room to add something I don't have with out having to make room.

CasaDooley · 06-13-2011, 12:18 PM

1,000 sounds good to me, and if I take a break from buying I may get down to that number...some day.

N2 GOLD · 06-13-2011, 12:29 PM

1K is a very nice round number that works...

Bax · 06-13-2011, 12:34 PM

So it's decided... everyone must have 1000 cigars on their person at all times. If you have less you will be mocked and shunned. If you have more...well, then stop being such a brown noser.

1000 cigars at my rate would last me +- 20 years.

OLS · 06-13-2011, 01:04 PM

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.

acarr · 06-13-2011, 01:07 PM

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

markem · 06-13-2011, 01:09 PM

I usually have about 45 on hand. Mind you, by "on hand" I mean in the zero waiting to be smoked and gifted.

Noodles · 06-14-2011, 08:56 AM

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.

area51 · 06-14-2011, 09:07 AM

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.

forgop · 06-21-2011, 07:29 PM

Nobody is obviously asking the wife's opinion on this, are they?

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.

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.

big a · 06-22-2011, 07:19 AM

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

I wish I could afford hundreds of cigars, however I am still getting started.
I have only been buying 5rs and singles to get a feel for what I prefer.
I currently only own about 20, very depressing.
