So many cigars, so little time...

    I have been smoking for a couple years now and I rarely buy a box. I do like the 5 packs a lot as it gives me a chance to buy different sticks with out to much cost. I really like variety and I have over 20 different brands and styles. I select what I want to smoke depending on the amount of time I have as well as the "heaviness" of the smoke. Sometimes you want the full body smoke, sometimes something on the light side. Hope this makes sense to you.

    If I smoke 2 of something and like them both, a box purchase is in the near future.

    If I were The Beard I would just send you random 2 or 3 packs in the mail......

    The best part about smoking more seriously the last year or two is that I've narrowed down what I like, dislike, and what I really love. Lately, I've been attempting to only buy and trade for cigars I really love! No more "everyday" cigars - I have plenty of those already. I have bought a few boxes here and there, but in general if I really love something I try to get at least a 5 pack or more. My problem lately is that the cigars that I really, really love are more expensive, and buying boxes really hurts.

    I started off with a lot of samplers to narrow down my preferences. I'm at the stage right now where I will invest in a couple of 5-packs on stuff I've liked before. I'm not quite at the stage where I want to buy entire boxes. Like you said, there is so much stuff to try out there.

    I can probably pull out a new stick from my humidor everyday for the rest of the year and every stick will be a new one to me. I have stepped up my smoking this year big time.

    I used to do the sampler thing a lot and the lower level of my humi is still filled with a lot of onesies and twosies. My last several purchases have for the most part been boxes as I find favorites. AAA, La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte, Vintage 2002's. In some cases not a box, but buying enough of the DD to approximate a box quantity at a better price. Still like to try something new now and then but not actively seeking out new stuff. If I stopped buying cigars today I could go for years without running out.

    I love smoking new things so I buy alot of samplers that are aimed at the flavor profile I like. When I first started smoking I just bought tons of different stuff to figure out what I liked. I do by 5 packs, bundles, or boxs of stuff I really like to smoke if Im not in the mood to try something new.

    Always buying new stuff and just continuing to remember the ones I really liked!
