I only had a few cigars before I was gifted an entire box of Punch's. I cant remember which one, I have two left somewhere in the cooler. I remember stocking my little humidor with the entire box and thought I was set for the year. Now I have 4 desktops, a stocked Vino and a stocked cooler. I blame that first box for all of this.

I bought my first box about a year into the hobby. I got a job at a cigar shop and about a year after I started, we had a Perdomo event with Nick Perdomo himself there. I really liked the new (at that point) Lot 23's so I bought a box and had Nick Perdomo sign it. It was pretty cool.
As far as when should you buy a box? I have to agree with the answer: When there is a cigar you want 20 of. |

A few months into the hobby I started buying boxes (my first was a box of 8-5-8's) and now 14 years later I still buy more boxes than I do singles. I buy singles when I'm at a B&M and boxes or season samplers over the net. If I don't care for the box or get tired of the blend half way through I pay it forward and give gift bags to friends. No set rules in this hobby. Enjoy it the way you like!

I've been smoking for about 6 months. I'm still in the figuring out what I like stage. The only box I've considered buying so far is Punch Champions. I've smoked several of them been happy with them each time. A nice, inexpensive but yummy smoke.
The price is right, you can find find a box of 25 for about $60, so the per stick price is really cheap. But I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

You've answered you own question. If you haven't found a cigar yet that tells you "you need 20 of these" then there is no need to even think about it. When you find "that" cigar, you will know. Variety is the spice of life brother, especially before you know what you want. Your wife isn't the only girl you ever dated before you married her is she? |

I too have not yet purchased a box of smokes and have been smoking consistently for around a year now. I have come to the conclusion that the Diesel Unholy Cocktail is a smoke that I would definately want to have on hand for any occasion. They will likely be my first box of smokes.

I've been smoking for about 4 or 5 years and I've bought many boxes. I say, if you have a smoke and you like it that much buy a box, the cigar will tell you when it's time.
First rule is if you don't already have a cooler, or a fridge, or a cabinet, get one...or two, I just started on my second cooler. When the time comes to get your box/boxes you'll just know. My first boxes were Padron 2000 and AF Queen B, then I hit the "Other" slope. Boli BBF, VR Unicos, ect... I now have more than I can even remember. |

I still get excited thinking back on my first box purchase. After the first, three or four came quickly soon after...it was such a thrill to have so many cigars I started bombing all my local cigar friends. I just wanted to share with them the joy they brought me.

It's only been about 3 months for me and I'm in the same boat.... samplers at first... but after learning more about cigars I am just getting 5ivers here lately.
Still haven't really found that cigar where I say... OK I want to spend 100 bucks on these. The ones I like so far are Ave Maria, 5 Vegas Classic, Diesel UC and Tat Havana VI. Still though unless I found a Amazing deal on a box I would still just buy 5ivers. If you look at prices of 5ivers on CBID though if you wanted to have like 20 sticks.... bidding on 4 5ivers its seems is always less than a box..... The only down side is you dont get the pretty box. I'll be sticking to this route till I have tried so many that I know exactly what may staple sticks are then buy some boxes at that point. |
