I'm around 2 a month with 300-400 on hand. Lots of aged sticks at that rate!
I'm at the point now that my oldest sticks are getting VERY close to 18 months on them. I think it might be time to dig through and find one of the Oliva V maddys I bought last July...
I'd have to say I'm around 4 or more per month depending on the weather. ( crazy work schedule ) More often in the spring/summer months. As for the humi, its growing nicely at a steady rate. 50 naked ladies in the box and 30 due in this week.
I usually smoke one to two a day. I keep about 75 to 100 stored. About two boxes of 25 of my favs and another 25 of individuals that I want to try/sample. Just a glance at the stats it looks like people store three times what they smoke.
Yea, I can rarely smoke more then two per day. If I get a real good stick and I'm like man this is so good I need another, but then I hit the nub and I hit my limit. Reg days one per day. A good day maybe two.
I smoke one a day but on vacation now so 2 to 3 a day. So anywhere from 6-18 a week on average. I just upgraded to a 150 humi. I have about 30 in it now with 34 on the way. I am always going to the local spot and picking up deals they have in between orders.
about 3 per week....have a 100ct humi with about 60 sticks on hand.....usually pick up two 5 packs per month to keep the supply in the humi anywhere from 40-60 sticks....I have yet to make my first box purchase...
Thanks for all the responses! Keep them coming but in the meantime I'll give you a brief update. Unfortunately a full-on analysis with graphs and the rest won't be coming for a while as I'm leaving for a two month (or so) trip to Spain in just a few hours, but at least by then I'll have a bunch more data So I ran some simple regressions in Excel (I know, gross! I'll use IDL for the full analysis later) to try to correlate sticks smoked per week with sticks stored. I think in reality something like an exponential or a power law should fit best, but since most of the people here store a ton of sticks even if they don't smoke often (almost certainly a huge selection bias!) it's tough to sample the low end effectively and a linear regression ends up making the most sense. I make sure the fit has a y-intercept of 0 (that is, if you smoke no cigars, the model predicts you shouldn't have any either! Seems to make sense to me - otherwise the best fit has a non-smoker storing 50 cigars at a time, haha). So I have 40 data total, so far. The best-fit linear model is 33-34 cigars stored for every one smoked per week. At that rate, people, you're going to leave a lot of well-aged sticks to the kids :P The confidence on this model is R^2=0.283 IF I remove some outliers who smoke too much for how much they store (Gypsy!) or vice versa (whether or not I remove the outliers, the best linear fit stays almost constant). I think the way to go into the future - and this is what will really benefit from more answers - is to average all the responses in each number of cigars smoked per week (that is, average the cigars stored for all the people who answered once a week, etc.). That cleans up a ton of the mess, although the basic regression is still the same. Hopefully once a lot more people have responded I'll be able to discern more from this. Right now it's just a little too noisy still. Sorry for all of this being on one line, CCOM forums can't format the post properly!

Looking forward to seeing the results of this study!
On the high end, I smoke 3 a week and store about 35.
