1000 sounds like a good number to me :tu

Scott, something tells me you are asking this to the wrong group of people! :r

This is an asylum; just who expects us to be reasonable?

OK, jokes out of the way, I've been getting by with about 100, but I think that 500 would be closer to an ideal for me. That would be enough storage to stockpile some favorites, age a few boxes and store some random singles.

right now i have about 900-1000, and i think that is "adequate", but not nearly as much as id like it to be. but then again, im out of room in the aristocrat, so i guess i have to be content... But in all seriousness, that is reasonable.. I used to have 100+ boxes and i started to feel like i was a nutjob.

Other than that, I'll plead the 5th. LOL

I'm a weekend/holiday/vacation smoker. I only smoke outside which means not as much from November through March (upstate NY - we have winter here). For me "reasonable" means having a choice of around ten of my favorites plus another half dozen that are waiting to be tasted for the first time. Buying boxes to save a bit on the favs means around 200 on the favorites. Thirty untried/miscellaneous. And another twenty or so HTF or special occasion cigars. That's roughly 250 which for me is more than a year supply. I don't actually have that many but I'm working toward it.

In all reality - I had a small(ish) desktop that held 250. That would get me through about a year at my current rate. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

...which is why I bought a 3,000 count 6 foot tall behemoth :banger

I'd say this is probably the perfect answer. :r

So 3 cigars a day is 1095, add maybe 4x52=208 for weekends and that will cover friends and maybe vacation. So now you have 1303 add 20%for aging thats 260.6 so I guess 1563.6 so in asylum math I will now take that and multiply by 10 and you get 15,636.

But realistically I will stick with maybe 1500 to 2000.

I think I'm happiest with my Vinos about 90% full. At that level I have a really good selection and just a bit of room to add something I don't have with out having to make room.

1,000 sounds good to me, and if I take a break from buying I may get down to that number...some day.:r

1K is a very nice round number that works... :tu

So it's decided... everyone must have 1000 cigars on their person at all times. If you have less you will be mocked and shunned. If you have more...well, then stop being such a brown noser. :tu

1000 cigars at my rate would last me +- 20 years.
