Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I probably buy more 5vers than anything, thanks to the devil site.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I say depends on the price. With increase in price comes a decrease in the number I can buy at one time.

Right now I do singles of new stuff, fivers of ones I like, and I've only bought one bundle which was to share. I've yet to take the box plunge.

My next purchase is a cooler, so then the boxes will start.

I am officially done with samplers, I think...

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

ill buy a box over a bundle, but i have to know that i like the cigar and that i wont be disappointed with it. I buy fivers and samplers of stuff i havent had. Ill pick up some singles at the B&M but same thing as the fivers and samplers, to try new stuff. Only get boxes of the stuff i like.:ss

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I totally agree.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

If I never had the stick before or are replacing some of my stock, a fiver is great because even if I don't like the stick the first time, I'll try it again and if I still don't love it, I will give it to someone who does or who wants to try. If I find something I LOVE (ie: Rocky Patel Decade) I will but boxes. I bought two boxes of them in the last few months. Never bought a bundle.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I've been buying samplers and fivers, but am ready to buy some boxes now.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

For the most part all I buy are fivers, though if it's a pretty expensive cigar two or three normally suffice.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

because i'm a cheep bastage, i usually find a name brand smoke that i like at a B&M and then find a bundle that tastes like it, i am usually pretty satisfied.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

generally my purchases fall into two categories these days
1) bundles from JoeCigar/CigarMonster/etc
2) Box splits

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

When I first started it was 5ers all the way... but moving into the darkness has spurred me to start with the box hunt... I like to try singles to make sure I will like that stick and then I dive into getting a box(es). :D

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

gotta agree :tu

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Alot of 5 or 10 at a time.. If its a cheap on I like, then boxes...

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

If I love it, I'm gonna hit a box!:D

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

:tpd: Gotta go for the box

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Start with a fiver if I haven't tried it before. If I like it enough, a box goes in the cooler.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

All of the above.

I always find myself going through phases. At first it was 5'ers, then boxes, then singles, now back to boxes with the occasional singles mixed in. :tu

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I said fiver but it really would depend on the cigar(s) and the number that I have in my coolador at the time. If the deal is good I would select any and all of those depending on the cigar. :hm

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Mostly 5'ers.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Boxes/cabs stack the best. :tu

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I usually buy 3's, thats how many boxes fit in one box :ss

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I buy singles for now when I see something that I like or would like to try. Still testing the water. I'll buy a couple boxes come tax return time when I am really sure what suits my taste. I also really enjoy trying new cigars all the time if they share similar profiles of my preferences.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I started with a few fivers and some samplers. Lately it's been a couple of singles and fivers here and there, trying to narrow down what I want to stock my humi with. I'm on the hunt for aforadable tasty smokes that I can justify a box purchase. If the 5'er price is comparable to to the box price, or if the box is too expensive, I'll stick with the fivers.

I started off heavy on the devil site, but lately it's too much trouble to get a good deal and I just order from CI with free shipping :tu

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I like to sample singles when buying cigars I've never tried before. If I like them, I'll pull the trigger on a 5er for stuff that I want to smoke sooner or a box for sticks that I want to lay down for a while.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I almost always go for a box too afraid that if I like them I won't have anymore. And if I do like what ever it is I buy I want to be able to share :)

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Lately I've been buying 5ers to try. If I really like the first 3 of my 5er I'll put it on my box wish list. Sometimes it goes slower (i.e. Buy single and like it then buy 5er then buy box). I prefer to have a box if I like it. Although I just filled up my cooler so not much room left:hn

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

5er is good to get going and then I hit the boxes... :ss

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Depends if I am purchasing something I know I like I go with a box. If I am trying something new I go 5ver

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I used to buy a lot of samplers, singles and 5ers. But now that i am a lot more picky then i used to be i'm buying a lot more boxes... :hn

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Well since doing a header down the dark side it's boxes all the way....to the detriment of my bank account. Thank god for overtime....:D

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Box or bundle if online, at the B&M singles.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I buy almost everything in Singles, mainly because the B&M I go to the most often stashes a few of my favorite boxes away knowing that I will kill the box single handedly...
Last Month
1) Illusione ~4/2g~
2) Cubao #1
3) Tatuaje Reserva SW
Scary enough, this month is looking exactly the same thus far, with one addition...I did buy a box...I found a box of Padron Natural Ambassadors sitting on the upper shelf in the old 25 count box configuration...the cellos are YELLOW!!! AND DAMNED TASTY! (the cigars, not the cellos)

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Like most, I assume anyway, I started with samplers to find out what I like. I still buy samplers, but they are getting fewer and further between. I've started leaning toward boxes, because buying singles gets pricey. Once I'm home again, I'm sure that will change. It's easier to nickel and dime my collection together without drawing the wrath of my wif.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I've bought a couple boxes, but I still get most my stock through fivers.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Start with a fiver, due to the value proposition over a single. But if it's good, I'll pick up a box -- even more value, plus a cool box.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

If I am trying something new, I usually buy a fiver. Also I have no more room for boxes.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I'm a box man ...having said that my next two purchases are a fiver and a three-er.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Fivers first, then some boxes, and now several singles before buying more. I first started buying fivers and sometimes I liked them and sometimes I didn't. Then I started buying boxes usually after smoking a cigar that someone had gifted to me. I had a coolerdor and had to fill it, but then my tastes would change and I still had half a box left. I now try to get singles at the B&M and to smoke at least 2-3 before buying more of them. I really like boxes because they protect the cigars, singles and fivers are just loose in the humidors.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I'm still learning what I like, so 5ers offer up enough sticks of one type to give them an honest try, and maybe even have a stick or two left to trade or share.

However, once I find some that I really like, a box purchase would be the next step.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Pete took the words right out of my mouth. I am the same way. I'm on the lookout now for a vino, but with the 28 bottle model being discontinued it's going to be hard. I checked a local target and they didn't even have Vino, they had Haier and something else.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I used to 5-packs but I tended to get to many cigars that I would try and not like and then have 3-4 left over. Lately I have been buying singles to try and then if I like them I buy 5-packs. I don't really buy any boxes because I don't have enough room to store them.

I know, I know, coolerdor. :D

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I tend to over research my buys and will go weeks reading reviews, talking with people who have smoked such and such ciger. Ill spend the week putting the box in my cart, taking it out, in etc. I have been very lucky, thanks to the internet you can pretty much get reviews on anything.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Fiver's to give something a try. If it is something I really like, I'll buy a box. However, since I have only two humi's and no Vino, I have to limit box purchases.

Mike :ss

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I prefer boxes, but have latley ended up with bundles for the cost difference.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I'd have to say a fiver to try them and if I like them enough my next purchase of that cigar will be a box.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

If you're buying, D, make mine a box.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

I like boxes.

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

Re: Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?
 

If I smoke something frequently and I like it, buying by the box is best. For new cigars singles. Hardly ever purchase any 5 packs.
