Are You Satisfied with the Number of Cigars in Your Inventory?

[Nature]

Nearly everyone seems to be seeking out more cigars to add to their collection and there seems to be a wide variation in the number of cigars we have in our inventories. Some may get to a point where they have enough.

Considering your resources like storage space or budget, where are you at on the satisfaction scale?

[Zeede]

Some may get to a point where they have enough.
As far as I can tell, the only clinically proven side effect of nicotine is having that word erased from your lexicon.

:D

In all seriousness, the generosity of the folks on here have allowed me to smoke a nice cigar far more frequently than my budget would have normally allowed (and a far greater variety) so for that I am thankful, and very satisfied :)

[T.E.Fox]

You can never really have too many (unless you're going without food to buy them). Although you can have enough to see you out for a good while. I rarely have more than about 30 sticks on hand at any given time (not counting cigarillos) which is enough for a few months for me. What I fear is the constant increases in taxes, annoyance laws and other general things that make getting cigars harder and harder. If I could stock up enough to last me a lot longer I would, but the budget doesn't allow for that.

[Branzig]

A couple months ago I would of chosen the "too many," but now that summer is here and I am back in cigar smoking mode...I could always use a few more :stogie:

[Horseshoe]

I am at capacity and I need to get my numbers down. Stupid limited releases! I am trying to thin the herd here and there. Once I get this move completed, I might pull everything out and do an inventory. I know I have around 450 sticks and I want to get under 400. Every time I get close, some wise guys send me sticks, and then they laugh and point fingers. Mom, I am getting bullied, but then she laughs at me and tells me to suck it up!

In all seriousness, I have more than enough. I am about 9-10 months in the hobby, and the generosity of the people in the cigar world is mind blowing! Some of my collection is good, some is meh. When I was just starting I was buying samplers galore, so I have a ton of singles. I am just now starting to get to the point of figuring out what I like, so I will start liquidating stuff. If it weren't for having bad influences in my life like DogRockets and 04EDGE40, I would probably only have like 100 sticks.... :)

Lastly, I only buy what I have money for. I put $10-20 in an envelope each week, and it goes to cigars or other hobbies. If I want to buy something larger, I sell what I have multiples of to fund my next purchase. I have never bought cigars that I didn't have $ to back. I have just as much fun shopping as I do smoking.

oh and I also blame the people of the cigar forums. Silly people sell stuff that I can't live without. I don't have a problem, I can stop when I want... Lol I'm not addicted, you are!

[Tobias Lutz]

A while back I commissioned my best friend to build me a custom humidor. It holds several hundred and as long as it is 50% full, or greater, I'm a happy man. :)

[Emperor Zurg]

I could use a few more although I haven't bought one in months. Only because I fear the overbearing government will eventually put the kabash on Internet sales.

Hard to tell for sure but I probably have more cigars than I will ever smoke right now.

[Old Smokey]

At my current rate of smoking cigars I have about a 3 year supply of approx. 400 cigars. All of my storage is full and I really don't want to add more storage. I am content.

Horseshoe, excellent advice.......if only I could follow it bwaahaahaa. You are spot on....A BUDGET, will ultimately provide more enjoyment.

[Lynn]

In January I had a 25ct & a 50ct, when I ordered a 400ct..Now the 25 & 50 are full the 400ct is almost full an Im workin on the shelves for the winador...Then the other night at the hospital I was standin next to a wood an glass cabinet 8' long...2' deep...an 7' tall....all I could think of was how many cigars would it hold....na this is a hobby an I could use a cabinet...

[Bull]

My goal is to have 10 yrs worth of 10 yr old cigars,,,,,so not yet...

[DLtoker]

I never have enough when I'm looking online or in the b&m, but once I get home... That's another story.

[Demuths1770]

ummm more cigars duh........ you can never have enough!!!!!!

[TreySC]

I voted never enough, but if I'm being completely honest I probably do have enough. But like Brent said new stuff and LE'S just keep coming out.

[jhedrick83]

I honestly thought I had shaken CAD once and for all at the start of this year. I was wrong. I've been on a 3 month bender. It's going to end soon, I have way too many other things I need to pay for first. I'm good with my inventory now, so I picked close to satisfied. Now desire is a different story. I wish I had a small walk in but that isn't happening.

[Indyhp]

I had a 100-count and two 50-count desktops and bought a small endtable humidor so I could buy a few favorites by the box. I'm good.

[Hardheaded]

I'm not satisfied yet, but i'm about out of space to store containers and out of funds for a while. Once I move I'm converting a good sized betroom into a smoking lounge, so space, and hopefully funds, will be less of an issue. I just have to resist the urge to turn the closet into a walk in.

[Brent Strande]

I'm satisfied. Sure, there's always somethink else that I'd like... but that goes for guns, whiskey, toys, and everything else!

[Laynard]

Where's the "all of the above" selection? I have each of these thoughts at least once a day.

[projectsunfire]

I have several years worth of cigars but I still voted for "never enough" because half the fun of this hobby (passion/obsession) for me is buying & collecting them. I am well past capacity so soon I will finally pull the trigger on a 2nd wineador which will be only used for aging. NEVER ENOUGH!

[DogRockets]

I'm completely satisfied with what I have. Although it's waaaaaay too many and I keep buying them for some reason. When do Tatuaje TAA 2015 and Tatuaje Hyde come out again?

And within an hour of making this post I bought some cigars. Good Lord! I need to stop!!!

[Bruck]

I voted category 3 - I have enough on hand to keep me happy.

I try to keep 100-150 on hand, and right now I'm at about 150. Lately I've been presenting TAD symptoms with pipe tobacco - my tobacco cabinet is near full, along with ample stocks of blending components in the basement laboratory, but I keep buying more!

[Ropey]

I have 400 and yes

[garublador]

I have probably 80 or so on hand, which would probably last me a little over 2 years and it keeps my tupperdor about 2/3 full so I have the "right" amount right now. I'll pick up a couple singles if I'm at a B&M (which happens every couple months) and I'll get a sampler if I start getting a bit low, but I don't feel like I really need more.

[DrBob]

I have 550 or so in a wineador and at 3-4 a week that gets me about 3 years supply of nicely rested cigars. I put in an order now when I have space made from smoking them. Of course occasionally have to play tetris with a deal I couldn't refuse...

I voted satisfied.

[sparky426]

I only have 380, dude... Well plus 15 in the mail.

[StogieNinja]

I voted "I Could Use A Few More."

I'm working towards having a 5 year supply at 2-3 per week, which will allow me to have a rolling aged stash, since most of what I smoke is reg production CCs. That's about 650 total cigars.

Right now, I'm at about 400-450, and I've been working at building it for the last couple years. It'll probably take me another 2 years to build up to where I want to be, as I have a tight budget I refuse to compromise (I have a family of 7 to support, and I'm the sole income).

After I hit the goal of 650, it will be strictly replacing what I've smoked.

[Errand Boy]

I thought I had enough, don't know how many but I just ordered a 10 pk. of Buenaventura 560. I'm running out of storage, have to finish building the shelves for my 3rd wineador.

[Ilroy]

I voted I could use a few more. I currently have enough to last about 2 years roughly, but I have enough space in my wineador to hold about double what I have, and that'll allow me to start putting a little age on some of them, and smoke some while waiting. After I fill the wineador, I'll probably just buy to replace those I've destroyed with fire.

I only smoke about 1 a week in spring/summer/fall, and maybe 1 a month in winter...except for camping, hunting, and vacation, then it's usually one-two a day.

[Nature]

Myself; I'm right about where I want to be. Got a bit of room to add a few more if something comes up, but I certainly wouldn't be hurt if I depleted it for a while. I sometimes go a few months without buying anything.

[LGHT]

My goal is to have 10 yrs worth of 10 yr old cigars,,,,,so not yet...

That's a great goal.. I think I had something similar I set 10 years ago... Now my goal is 20/20 ;)

[RockysPatel]

I have about 200-230. Bombing alot of my buddies so I can get more of what I actually perfer and gift out what I dont care for.

[Schatzman]

I have crossed the 2k threshold. I need to start selling stuff. I have too much opus and liga. It is out of control.

This is heresy! One can never have too much Opus! :)

[Schatzman]

This is heresy! One can never have too much Opus! :)

I have over 15 boxes

[Cool Breeze]

Ever since I got into pipe smoking, I've hardly bought any cigars. I have exactly 1 stick in my tupperdor. It's a T52 so at least its a good stick. :)

Seriously, I've got to get a decent stock built back up. I generally have mostly everyday smokes ($3-$5 range) with just a handful of nicer stuff for special occasions. In the warmer months, I'm sure I'll smoke cigars more than pipes.

As soon as I pick up a 250g box of Full Virginia Flake, I'll start buying some cigars again. :pipe:

[lvfcrook1503]

I have over 15 boxes

Still not enough

[DogRockets]

I sometimes go a few months without buying anything.

Man I wish I knew that feeling!

[Dijit]

Its kinda funny when I had a 100 ct humi I thought I would never fill it or need to. I now have a 500 ct and it is nearly full and I still find myself thinking I could add a box of these or these if I had a bigger humi. I think its like George Carlin used to say. We buy a house to keep our shit in. Then we get too much shit and need a bigger house.

[herman]

I have about 12 sticks I keep in rotation then a little room for stuff I haven't tried yet. It seems there's always one rotation needing a refill. However, my next priority is to get a new humidor. I'm tired of the cheap leaky ones I have.
