How "Deep" is "Deep"?

[David88]

I previously bought samplers, singles and five packs when I first started smoking cigars. Since I've been buying boxes I like to keep a variety of cigars in my humidor (they say variety is the spice of life!) so I don't have any more than 1 or two boxes of any particular cigar.

I go more wide than deep. As opposed to dozens of boxes of a single Marca/Vitola, I stock just a few of each across the board. Maybe 7-8 of a particular stick tops.

C'mon Mike...this is relative... to YOU!!! Hahaha! IIRC you have like 1200 cigars just in Partagas. 

When I die, I want to come back as your humidor.

I try to go deep age-wise. One box of each for each year of production--IF I can afford it. Stocking up on Cohibas like this gets...expensive real fast. Figure a box of '14, '15 and '16 Espys would run you close to 2K.

5 cabs of PLPC (50)...not sure if thats going deep, but its my new go to cigar and will be for awhile.

10+ boxes of a particular code is deep for me, i.e. 10 boxes of LRE 2009 PSD4's...

Pssht, amateur.

Well, you've both gone a long way to convince me that the Partagas Serie D No.4 currently outsells the Montecristo No.4 and No.2!

I think Camp W is calling.

I think those 42 cabs and boxes of RASS leaves Camp Winnipesaukee for dead!

If I really enjoy a stick, and it's a Limited edition of some kind, I'll go 50 or 60 sticks deep.  Like a couple of other people here, I used to go wide and just get a couple of boxes of everything, but now I'm focusing more on what I enjoy the most and trying to go deeper on those.

Guys, we have been at this for several years. We have lots of storage and smoke. But we have a few boxes of maybe two kinds only. The rest are single boxes and I like them with some age on them.

I have the weirdest new activity! Trading! And here's the weirdest part of it. Some old 2009 Tat Black and Opus.

My tastes change too damn much to go more than a couple boxes deep, but I go wide because I always appreciate the variety.

Sure glad I didn't go too deep when I was only buying NCs.  Having a hard time finishing the ones I have.

^^I’m in the same boat, except I went pretty wide on the NC’s. It’s taking some discipline to let those Cubans just sit there while I work my way through some mighty strong Nicaraguans. I find myself leaving more and more of them in the ashtray halfway through. And then I go stick my nose in a box of CC’s.

Don't worry about it too much, it just means you know what's actually good.
