I was just wondering how may cigars do you usually buy at once? Do you guys normally buy them buy the box or as singles. Being relatively new to this I buy about half a dozen at a time 3 I know I like & three I haven't tried before.

when you're first starting out, you don't know what you like. I would not buy a box if i were you. Look into 5 packs, samplers and singles. That way, if you don't like 1, you don't have 24 left to smoke. CigarBid is a very good place to score some 5 packs and Samplers. I don't recommend buying singles from there. Cigars International has a page for singles, If you buy 5 i believe you get one free. Or go to your B&M and tell him what you've liked so far and get some suggestions.Quote:

Once you've had 2-4 of the same cigar and have enjoyed everyone, then it's probably safe to buy a box. Also keep in mind, your taste are gonna change considerably. You might love a cigar right now, then couple months down the road it might not do anything for you.
I am in the same boat as you Thumper. I buy about 4 or 5, two that I know I like and the rest are new.
I get by on a gym instructors salary which isn't as much as you would think :smiley11:
May save up though and buy a box of my fave Robustos (La Rica)
Yep, thats some sound advice.Quote:

and they're good if you only have a small humidor and want to add some new sticks.
When I first started out, I would buy 2-3 sticks if I wanted to try a new cigar, so I could get a good feel for it. One stick was too few for me to base my decision on, so I would always buy a couple.
I still do that for new things I am trying. For sticks I know and love, I buy them by the handful, but rarely by the box. I have made box purchases in the past but only when I get a great deal. I don't really have the room to store hundreds of cigars so I have to be careful not to buy too many.
