I know it's hard to only pick one, but how many of your single favorite cigar do you currently have on hand? You can say what the cigar is if you like, but I am more curious at how heavy you stock up on that single vitola.
The reason I asked is two fold.
1) I just grabbed my favorite and noticed after this smoke I only have 7 left. I need to improve that number!
2) this place needs an increase in activity. So please join in and if you can think of something for a topic, please post it. I haven't noticed our admin or mods posting. Did I miss something?

I usually have more than five, but less than ten of my favs.

Well I have a few "favorites". My Anejos are down to 3, but I usually just buy fivers. I was letting them sit until the holidays to try them with a year on them. I usually can't wait that long...Same with my FFOX petite Corona...
120 minus a couple, since they came monday.

I needed to spritz my humidification crystals anyway, so I just did a rough count of my top favorites right now. Its so tough to pick a favorite, but I've got about 30 Anejos on hand right now and I guess that's my current leader.
Of my next 3 faves I've got about 40, 35, and 30 respectively. If I smoke nothing but these 4 I've got about a year and a couple months stock at my current pace.

Still finding a "favorite", but of those that I REALLY enjoy:
Jamie Garcia Especial Reserve - 4
OSOK - 3
Opus Power Ranger - 3
And a few others that I have to take inventory of & quite a few that I need to stock up on!

Those Jaime Garcia Especiales are really tasty. I have maybe 1 or 2 left and I've been holding off smoking them since I'm low.
I guess I should try another OSOK since they're one of your favorites. I only had 1 and it didn't really agree with me, but I might have just had one of those weird palate days.

The OSOK's are "milder" than a lot of the smokes I enjoy, but I like them a LOT.
And one that I have none of but REALLY enjoy is the Room101 Namakubi & the Daruma (gold or not)!!!

I've gotta try one again then, must have just been a bad sample or a bad day.
And that does remind me of the Daruma which is another one pretty high on my list. I think I have a couple left from the box I bought a couple years ago.

It's kind of funny, a Fuente Anejo is the cigar I originally posted about. My total Anejo count is around 40 and I like them all, but I have really taken a liking to the 888, of which I am down to 7. I saw Famous had them a few days ago and probably should have grabbed some. But I am hoping my local B&M gets some with their next order.

Seven of one, less than five of another. Only one of a few others. Pathetic!
Almost my entire stock is made up of singles. Trying to smoke through them before I stock up on favs.
Too many cigars to try, not enough smoking time.

I've got about 75 of my favorite, nearly 50 each of second, third and fourth. I'm a sucker for well aged cigars and I've been slowly turning over my inventory from tons of random singles to my top 15-20 favorites that I can just age.

I had my 1st AƱjeo a few weeks ago and I must admit that's a damn fine cigar!
I have 4 more that I bought from sullen, so I'm inclined to believe they have a decent rest on them and were well kept. I will definitely pick more of them up!
Haven't tried the 888 yet.

It must be nice to be at that stage where you can have 20 faves!
After 2 years I haven't even gotten my foot wet with all there is to try, let alone age!

Out of the 15-20, I'd say there's 7 that I think are unreal. The rest I consider excellent cigars that I know I'll always enjoy (great flavor and always solid construction).

Yes! That's what I'm trying to do with the Anejos. The plan is to buy a box each year, smoke sparingly, and a couple years from now I'll have a nicely aged rolling stash of 20 or so with 4-5 years on them that gets replenished every fall. I've been trying to do the same with Oliva Serie V, Serie V Maduro, and Melanio Maduro.

I'm on cigar-buying hiatus, and this is killing me!

Of my absolute favorite cigar in the world, I have 3. I had 5 and have smoked 2 in the last year or so. They are my birthday/extra special occasion cigars, and I can't afford to keep more than a few on hand.
I have about 40 of my everyday favorites, except that half of my everyday favorites are home-rolled, and I don't keep a lot of them on hand. I pretty much roll them as needed.
Wrong forum to tell you what my 3 and 40 are.

Hmmm, FFP's may be my favorite, and I have 8.
The new calaveras is also quite good, and I have 3 boxes minus two I've already smoke.
Papas Fritas are also tasty, and I have 4-5 tins, so between 16 and 20 of those.
Old-school favorite of Unholy Cocktail I probably have 30-40.
