How many cigars do you own?

[RijkdeGooier]

I'm curious to know how many USA has collected over the years. His collection is highly impressive!

Urs has plenty ?

[Miller1985]

Around 400... Probably 75% NC. 125 Cubans on the way thanks to a little site we all know as FOH

[winelover]

50 in the humi and 25 en route.

To those who have uncountable quantities, what is your overall long term strategy? Smoke some of them (all might never happen) /sell / leave to persons named in your will ?

[Akela3rd]

Two less than this morning

[CoolBurn]

Do the plugged ones from 1999-2003 count? I can't bear to throw them away, but they are bricks!

In the same boat. I am in the 2,000 club. Many years of collecting. But hundreds are from those terrible years. Can't smoke them. But can't bare to throw them out. So they just sit there.

[eswary]

At the rate I smoke currently probably enough to get me thru 2025 without buying anything

[TheMonk]

Definitely more then I should, but way less then I would like to.

I'm gonna have to be more friendly to some of the older cigar enthusiasts

Have approx 2500, BUT there are a few boxes (15 or so NC)) that I just no longer have the taste for. Like many, more than I need, but can't help buying more!

I haven't gone to the dark side yet on cigars, but I have much more wine than I can drink. Why are all the expensive hobbies so fun?

When asked 'how many cigars do you have', I always answer "....not quite enough....."......

[stigmata]

Around 300 for me .

I usually keep anywhere between 350-600 but cutting them down to a float of 200.

I'm smoking less and less now.

No point buying too many more if I'm not smoking as regularly.

My last big was rg Panatellas extra.

Smoking one of those every two weeks and holding the larger smokes for situations.

Every now and again a Connie 1

Oops

I like how you fixed your double posting by triple posting lol.

[Gusmab980]

I haven't count them in years, last time I did was 600, since then I have been buying singles, boxes, bundles faster that I'm smoking them so probably close to 2000.

[garnett]

I am to lazy to count them.

[kittipong]

last counted was Dec 2014 around 400+ box of 10/25 and Cab 50.

Still need to buy more every two - three boxes per month before embargo will be lifted.

[Ginseng]

I only own three cigars. I just smoke them really slowly.

But seriously, enough to last a long time.

[RijkdeGooier]

Roughly 50% over and under 500. Sounds right.

I am astonished at the 20%+ who are "over 2000"! And it makes me want a sub poll that says

2000-5000

5000-10000

10000-???

It's not that hard if you age your own so to speak.

Say 5 years of aging and 2-3 a day, would amount to 365 x 5 x 2 or 3 = 3650 to 5475 sticks.

Not even counting special boxes collections like EL or RE's

This is not unrealistic for some...

But only your oldest stick would hit 5.

[RijkdeGooier]

This was just to illustrate how easy it is to get over 2,000 sticks.

Regarding your point, it really depends on the age they already have when you receive them, but yes theoretically only your first bought batch would reach the 5 year mark.

In a going concern situation you would replenish those boxes you open.

In real life one would age various marca's even longer, Cohiba, H.Upmann and Monte, so your stash will need to be even bigger.

[Vitruvius20]

I have exactly 347 at home, plus 55 on their way from FOH.

I did a thorough inventory during the Holidays and I use the Aficionado app on my Android phone to keep track.

What about selling to "vintage enthusiasts" at a, probably by now, considerable profit to fund lots of current production that smoke superbly well?

So he should purposely sell plugged sticks to unsuspecting fellow smokers?

[leftimatic]

I made a very thorough count. Twice. And then I crunched the numbers and....

I have far more than I need but not near as many as I want.
