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

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...

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.
