What's in your humidor?

[Old Smokey]

Thought it might be fun to describe the cigars in your humidor. Is it mostly Nicaraguan? Dominated by Padron? Warped? Crowned Heads? Fuente? Gurkhas? Cubans? Dominicans? Approx how many cigars do you currently have? Is there a number you are hoping to build to? What are your special occasion cigars? What cigars do you hope to add to your collection? Anyway, you get the idea! I hope this will be enjoyable as its not a dick swinging contest, because I would come up a wee bit short. if your a Piper, feel free to tell us about your pipes and what is in your cellar! Also if your a drinker, feel free to list your favorite adult beverage to go with a favorite cigar. I don't drink, but realize it is pretty common among cigar lovers.

Be as detailed as you feel comfortable. It might also be helpful for Secret Samta.

I guess I should go first.

I have about 400-450 cigars and rarely buy over the last 5 years. Although when I find something I really want at a good price, I buy as many as I can afford at the time. Living on SS can be tight sometimes.

My collection is heavy with Fuente cigars, their tobacco just seems perfect for my tastes. Most being Opus, 858's and Anejos. Most have been aging for 4-8 years, but several are freshies.

I also prefer 50 and smaller RG with Coronas being the sweet spot, along with petite lanceros. But a Robusto works too because they are fairly short. An hour smoke seems to satisfy the itch.

I also enjoy CC''s of which I have around 75 cigars. I have very little knowledge about them, but it's nice to have them on occasion and a change of pace.

For special occasions or just because I want one, I usually just grab an Opus of some kind, with Angel Share and Oscuro Oro my current favorites. I also have a few HTF CC's that would also come into play. I have the palette of a goat, so I can't describe most flavor in a cigar, that's just not my thing.

That's about it for now, but will add if something comes to mind.

Who's Next???

We are very close to the same in a few regards.

I have about 400 cigars on hand, about half being cc's though, but on the nc side I too have more Fuentes than anything else. I have a tupperdor for just them that is full at 50 cigars, plus some overflow in my 74qt boxes tupperdor.

My special occasion cigars are all cc EL's and custom rolls, mainly due to price and scarcity. I believe I have about 11 in that tupperdor.

I also have some aged Opus X's and God of Fires I have designated as special occasion cigars also. There probably about 8 of the 2.

I still make a monthly purchase of cc's or nc's depending on what I am getting low on or just want more of, because I'm a 2 or 3 cigar a day smoker.

I just try to maintain my habit and keep my stash around the same number.

I put a very high value on variety, so I keep enough different smokes on hand to the point where I don't have to smoke the same cigar twice in over a month unless I choose to.

I prefer cigars in the 46 to 52 rg range and 5.5 to 6.5 inch length.

Also, my palate is pretty much the same as yours. There are very few specific flavors that I can detect in my cigars.

Not really anything specific I'm looking to add as there are too many to choose from. Especially nc's, so I just buy a few of what I see others smoking to try out.

I have a long list of ones to try and just as many that I enjoyed and will eventually order more of

My humidor is best described as completely random. I used to say I had around 500 but I feel I have bought more than I smoked, so 600-700 (random guess).

When I started my gf now my wife bought me my first humidor hundred count. It after sitting empty and dry for years now houses my gift cubans and my Psd4 rolled in July 2016 month and year my daughter was born. I got tubos with the idea to replace each cigar with a letter to her.

My main humidor picked up off Craigslist 7 years ago. Wanted 1 big one rather than all my small ones. Top 2 shelves are gifted cigars. Family friends bombs.
At 1 point there was a plan to have cigars I purchased on 1 shelf and other cigars on the other plan went to crap. I have been an active member on 3 cigar forums starting with puff then after one of the massive bans stogiefriends (about to die) and here. When I was active on p I lived in lubbock and we had a good b&m and several events i did the event buy 3 get 1 or buy 5 and get whatever. I was inexperienced and deal I would only smoke 1 a week. So I tended to buy more than I smoked then. I have also been very lucky with superbowl squares 2 wins some fantasy football wins have added to my random assortment. I was also really active on pif and maws with a few random passes and secret santas. My online purchases were mostly budget sticks as were my pif and maw huals.
(Worst beating i ever took was from the great Shuckins in a Wheel of destruction pairing).
I took a small hiatus for a bit about a year where my b&m closed and I didn't really buy anything. Thats around the time I was doing another superbowl squares when p went black and Cigarbum was born. Since then I have lived here in Wichita Falls b&m is not on par with my buying standards but I don't need many budget or daily smokes so I buy Htf sticks or cheaper cubans. I smoke more but it is a bit weather and projects around the house permitting.

I have several special smokes I try grab one every once in a while but depending on where we are and weather and who we are around.
When I got into cigars I liked larger cigars Churchill but now prefer corona or Robusto or lancero. I love Solomon shape but thats a long cigar to smoke.

Ok fried from work and needed to check on my random boveda spread thru my humidor and decided to do a little counting 472 with a good size section uncounted approx 30%-40% and my 100 count not counted.

Sounds like you are well stocked Josh. Thanks for commenting!

Well your guess is as good as mine, but it seems like a cigar or two. I have a bit of everything even a Cuban or two. I have another humidor at work with that sampler from CI with all the $1 churchills. I have maybe 3 humidors with infused cigars. A humidor or two of Rocky's I have a humidor almost all the way filled of things Socal Gunner sent me. Beyond that your guess is as good as mine. I know there is a monster mash in the cooler I am gifting out this Christmas to my homie is never logs on here but made an account once. There are several humidors with pipe tobacco not pictured. I am a man of variety. I can tell you what is not in there, no Gurkhas I smoked them all and will pick up a bundle or two next time I am at a B&M

Yeah, like a tray's worth !

Been meaning to respond to this @Old Smokey but in Kentucky this weekend. Will get to it next week when I'm back in town. Have to be careful though, wouldn't want the missus to stumble on to this thread !

Tony, I'm glad you are getting to see your family in Tucky. I bet that grand baby is really growing.

If your wife is anything like mine, she probably has a pretty good idea about your cigars, but chooses not to give a shit. Mine is smarter than she looks!

Ok Steve - I finally got around to doing this for you. Though I must admit I was a little curious as to how the numbers have changed.

First off, a pic of my "humidor". Not a nice fancy walk in like TJ has but it serves my purpose.



3 Wineadors, and 2 big coolers in the rack. I also have a half sized cooler and 6-8 small tuppers.

I use a spreadsheet so I can keep my inventory straight and that allows me to easily look at the numbers as a whole.

I show 544 lines on my spreadsheet - each line is a unique cigar, by size. Some are duplicates, meaning I was bombed something I already has in stock.
Taking that in to account, I'd say when I go to choose a cigar I have roughly 500 choices as to what to smoke. I like variety and it may be months until I go back to something, but I like having choices. I tend to buy, as we all do, very economically and pick up a few big samplers a year as well so having the storage to be able to handle a 100 stick purchase helps alot.

The breakdown of the top brands in my stock looks like this:

Crowned Heads / Pichardo - 30.6% of my inventory. Knew this was now #1 and the gap had gotten larger with all their recent releases
Tatuaje / L'Atelier - 13.2%
Warped - 5.3%
HVC - 3.7%
Caldwell - 3.7%
Black Label Trading - 3.2%
Viaje - 2.0%

So there you have it. Proof that I am a verified Crowned Heads whore !
