Quick question - just curious. What do you buy more: boxes, 10 pk, 5pk, or singles? I've never bought anything more than a 5pk but thought I'd see what everyone else does.
I've only ever bought 2 boxes. One was a noob mistake thinking I was getting some good quality cheap sticks. I was sorely mistaken. The other box was of cigar.com cameroon labels. This was due to them being in my rotation more than any other smoke. Other than that I stick to 5 packs.
I probably more singles. I do buy a lot of 5-packs though. The most I've ever bought at a time is fifteen, and that was a bundle of seconds. I've never purchased a box before.
I like going for 5 packs, they let you get a feel for a stogie, you can smoke one fresh and let them sit and age for a while to see if the age does anything to the sticks. And it doesn't hurt the wallet all that badly if you find out you don't like em.

If I've had the cigar before and liked it I would buy a box. But mostly singles.
I buy the 5 pack samplers most often. Like someone previously said, I smoke one, then let the rest age to see how they develop. I have only bought a box of the Gurkha Park Avenue. I really enjoyed the smoke, and couldn't pass on the price. Luckily, i work with another member on here, so we split some boxes, most recently the NUB Maduro.
Usually 5 packs and a few singles here and there. Luckily, some of my everyday sticks have 2nds all over the place and I get those in 15 bundles. Only time I ever bought boxes, I bought 4 of the same kind (100) because I liked the few I had and I couldn't pass up the price. Let them age for a little and took one out. I almost passed out the draw was so tight. Tried another one and same deal. Went through about twenty sticks and not one was good. Pitched the rest. Unfortunately, I got a roller on their first day on the job.

lol, draw poker ftw? next time that happens, give me a shout out, I'll pay shipping, haha.
Usually singles but 5ers aren't uncommon if they are a decent deal. I have bought a lot of boxes though. Good thing is a lot of the boxes I have, I get singles from botl's here, so I usually don't dip into the box. Though I'm running low on comacho triple maduro's 6x60's, wink wink....
I'm all over the board on this. I Do NOT buy very many singles. I buy mostly 5'ers and boxes or box splits. When I try something from one of the BOTL here and I like it I buy a 5'er. Then if I still like it after that, then I just wait for a good sale price from C.Com and make a box purchase.
Mostly 5'ers though I guess.
I usually buy singles and the occasional 5 pack. Recently I've been buying 2 of a cigar I haven't tried before burn on friday nights so my botl and I can have a few cocktails, throw some meat in the grill, and after a great meal send the wives away, try 'em out and share in the herf experience.
