My stash life cycle:

Infancy: Garbage CI Sampler with maybe 5 decent sticks and a few random singles from B&M
Terrible Two's: A few high priced singles mixed with a few CI sampler singles left
Developmental years: More singles that I've been wanting to try in the mid range, along with a few go-to-sticks, still a few left overs from CI sampler
Elementary Years: More singles that I've wanted to try, 2 to 3 sticks of my favorites and some crap that I'm still wanting to pawn off on some friends
Teens: A few 5'ers of sticks I really enjoy, some singles of HTF's that are seasoning for celebtration sticks down the road, and a good number of low to mid priced favorite singles, and a few random singles to try

So, I guess I'm saying that I'm a teen in my cigar smoking life cycle . I really enjoy trying new sticks, which probably explains the singles, but I have started to buy 5'ers of sticks that I consider favorites. I haven't ever bought a box of smokes and probably won't anytime soon due to limited cigar budget and limited storage. But I like the mix I've got now and I've been able to accumulate some favorites and some sticks to try.

Great idea ASH!
