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 !
Pretty impressive stash for sure.
Seems like it would be a real bitch trying to find a specific cigar though, lol
I too put a very high value on variety.
I buy almost exclusively, 3 singles, 5 packs and boxes of 10 to maximize the variety I have on hand. Did get a few 25ct boxes of various PC's to stock up on quicker smokes for the particularly cold winter days that are coming soon.
I try to stay stocked to the point where I don't have to smoke the same cigar twice in a month unless I choose to.

one perk of having a good stash is the ability to stock up when you find a nice deal. Its taken a lot of years to amass this. I am always browsing the clearance sections. What is hot today will be forgotten about in a few months. Still just as good of a cigar but at a deep discount. I have my staples but beyond that I smoke whats one sale. With the variety on the market you can always find something pleasing.
Very true.
I have very broad tastes when it comes to my cigars, so I often buy what's on sale, clearance or bundles of fumas, seconds, etc as they are way cheaper and only have cosmetic issues which I could care less about, and otherwise are just as good as "the real ones", since they are otherwise identical

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 !
