Variety

[rodwha]

So I'm a bit curious what kind of substantial variety you keep on hand. By that I mean that you buy at least a sampler/small bundle or more. How many staples, especially by the box?

I had figured I'd keep the Avo's and CAO's on hand in number as the sampler is too hard to pass up and I enjoy them immensely, as well as a small ring cigar, but I can see having small bundles of a few I'm finding I'm also enjoying.

In 8 months of cigar smoking ive bought atleast 300 sticks. Ive sold off atleast 150 of which i dont care for as my palate changed, My yard gars are Nica Libres. Always have atleast a box. Ive grown to like Undercrowns, Padron x000's and yes Gurkha Seductions..lol. Keep a bunch on hand of those 3. Also starting to get into the CC side of things and thats growing quick.

I tend to buy when I have the funds, which lately is every other month or so. Because of that I tend to get bundles of budget sticks to hold me over and pick up a few nicer ones here and there.

So my assortment looks something like this, but never all at the same time.
Boxes / Bundles:
Schizo
Casa de Garcia Maduro
Sancho Panza Double Maduro
Nica Libre

5 packs:
Undercrown Corona Viva
Brickhouse Maduro
Room 101 Big Payback
Diesel UHC

Singles:
Anejo 46
Anything that looks good on a B&M trip
Bomb and pass sticks that have not become 5 pack purchases yet.

This group of Bums, and the poof site group before it, really helped expand my cigar lists beyond the junk my local B&Ms recommended for a newbie.

I see my box list getting substantially larger once I make the move to sample other cigars. Good thing I have some storage space lined up as I only smoke a few a week.

I have so many different sticks, I'm almost always trying something new. I haven't bought a box yet. Though there are a few I definitely would, between 5-ers and singles and so much to try I haven't needed to. I probably have about 200 cigars.

I usually have around 10 boxes of ones I know I like and have no problem with the very real possibility of them being around long enough to age.

But I enjoy variety, so I like to go to the B&M and grab a handful of singles I haven't tried and that allows me to mix it up some without demanding too much humidor real estate.

I have hundreds of singles. Many from trades and passes and some from fivers that I either smoked the others or passed/bombed out of. There are so many NCs...I've only bought a handful of boxes (of NCs).

AJF MOW, Diesels and New World are staples in my rotation. Lately I've become a bit of a Tat whore especially the Black Labels and 10th Anny Miamis. Crowned Heads Headley Grange and Jericho Hill are well represented in my humidor as well. Not a whole lot of DE sticks but I like the UC Corona Viva a lot and try to keep them on hand. I'm really liking the RoMa Craft Aquitaine line as well and picked up a box of the Mode 5. Great cigars.

ETA: I almost forgot. The Flores y Rodrigues Cabinet Selection are great cigars and the price on CBid almost make me feel guilty for stealing them.

Ha ha! Too much variety! Makes it hard to choose! At 3 cigars a week (which I do not sustain through the year) I could go well more than a year and never smoke the same one. I probably have around a dozen cigar varieties that I have more than 2 of the same, and an estimated 80% of those is less than 5 of the same. Lots of singles!

[Habana Mike]

Love variety. I probably have quite a few dozen different choices on hand at any given time.

Typically buy by the box though do pick up fivers on occasion.

I'm still developing my palate, so I haven't smoked anything yet that I want to buy a box of. Variety is the spice of life, and this hobby is like a spicemaggedon!
