How long would your stash last?
 
So, in evaluating my pile, I realized that I have more than a couple cigars. So, I was trying to figure out how long my stash would last if I never bought another cigar and I smoked at the same rate.

Rough guess....16 1/2 years. Kinda ridiculous.

How about you? Weeks? Months? Years? To the third and fourth generation?

If it was just me smoking, well over 10 years or more.

Problem is, I like to gift lots of cigars to my friends.

About 2 or 3 weeks here... Envious of your stockpile Scott... :tu

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
If I didn't gift any, and smoked at my present rate, a little over three years.

Eeek!

Not if you knew the quality...I got way too carried away on cbid a couple years ago and bought everything I could under 2 bucks. I've farmed a bunch of them out in troop support, but I need to send a couple hundred more. But then I'd have empty shelves, and empty humidor shelves are sad humidor shelves...and I can't afford to re-fill then with the good stuff yet. ;)

Probably about a year now that winter is here and my sessions are farther apart.

MajorCaptSilly 10-26-2012 04:03 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
I smoke 2-3 per week during the summer and almost none during the winter. Mine would last til I'm about 88 or 40 years.

Now that I have cut back to an average of 2 a day, my stash would last just over 2 years if I didn't give any away (not gonna happen:ss).

cmitch 10-26-2012 04:25 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
Maybe a year. I guess I'm fixing to find out. I've frozen purchases for awhile (yeah, right, says the devil on my shoulder).

Remo 10-26-2012 04:30 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
At the rate I smoke and with winters, mine would last 3-5 years.

jkim05 10-26-2012 04:34 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
I have more cigars than I will ever smoke in my lifetime, possibly even multiple lifetimes unless I start drastically increasing my intake.

shibby4781 10-26-2012 04:39 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
I'm gonna guess about 2 years. Just depends how cold the winters are here.

363 10-26-2012 04:45 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
Maybe 1.5 years if I cut back a bit.

Bax 10-26-2012 05:06 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
I was at about 20 years but I've sold off many of my extra boxes so I would say I'm down to about 6 years.

Malakai 10-26-2012 05:10 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
Somewhere between 3-5 years

Sonic04GT 10-26-2012 05:15 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
I smoke about once, maybe twice a week, so roughly a year.

hammondc 10-26-2012 05:22 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
couple weeks. I am kicking around giving it all up, actually. I rarely smoke anymore and honestly, do not miss it a whole lot.

Dunkel 10-26-2012 06:03 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
Maybe 2 years, if I was the only one smoking them.

Like Tom, I like to gift cigars.
I don't smoke a lot. 1-2 days a week. 2-5 cigars a week.

A few years for me.

Zane 10-26-2012 06:18 PM

I have about 2 years!

It doesnt matter how long they would last, I dont have enough! :banger

I have enough to last me 10 years or so. If I slow down.

kelmac07 10-26-2012 06:42 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
Sat down and did the math on this a few weeks ago...as the little missus was telling me I had enough sticks to last me for 20 years. Actual count, at smoking 5-7 a week came out to 11.5 years. I'd better get to buying some more. :D

well, there's your first logical fallacy right there.

i like bobs answer...

about 300 a year & (like others)gifts are fun...roughly 25 years.

may outlive my stash if i stop buying now...not gonna happen tho...buying cigars is almost as much fun as smoking.

I didn't say I was gonna do it. :) Merely a hypothetical situation. Gonna agree with Derrek. Buying them is almost a much fun as smoking them.

edstoggie 10-26-2012 07:17 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
I'm estimating about a year on my stash.

never_enough 10-26-2012 07:34 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
About a week at best. Sold/gifted basically all I had. Time to rebuild.

44stampede 10-26-2012 08:22 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
Probably about 3 years based on my 2-4/week. Coming to 1 year in the habit/collecting I don't know whether that statistic is encouraging or depressing...

I don't what to look back and think about how much I've spent this year.

I mean invested :D

TJarv 10-26-2012 08:28 PM

6 years

Well hey if you got some keepers to offload, send me a pm haha ;-)

Personally, if I don't restock before the Election, I'll be smoking my "Don't smoke these, let them age" stash. So that's what.. 11 days and counting? Jesus, ticking time bomb!

Not exactly subtle.

I figure 3 or 4 months if I'm careful.

Tallman 10-26-2012 09:45 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
5 or so years. Plus about 10 years of pipe tobacco.

Porch Dweller 10-26-2012 10:07 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
About three months at my average of 1.5 per day.

BHalbrooks 10-26-2012 10:46 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
This is really eye opening, I didn't know some of you had THAT many.

If I smoked one a day, mine would last... 20 days. Money isn't wrong, but it's not right enough to spend a lot of money of what my Wife considers a hobby (She's coming around since she started smoking), and my consideration of a life style. Jesus, I feel like a whipped puppy.

Apoco 10-27-2012 11:05 AM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
4-5 years pretty easily.

It was eye opening for me too. I knew I had quite a few, but it really opened my eyes to just how many. Saying I have a couple hundred or even a thousand (two?) cigars is one thing. Calculating the time involved is another.

I think the biggest thing is the realization that I can be more free with my cigars. I will never smoke all of these. I know that I will buy more, therefore the only ones I really need to hang on to are ones that I really enjoy. No need to have a tray full of Gurkas or the tray of low end Rocky Patels. No reason to hang on to the house brands I never reach for. Time to thin the herd and get down to the good stuff.

derrek

Yep following these rules (1/day most of the year) probably 15-17 years at my rate. Even more if I have the usual 2 per week instead of 5...

RWhisenand 10-27-2012 09:46 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
I'm looking at about 2-3 years in my stockpile. I do gift some smokes, but my friends also sponsor me some smokes as well.
I smoke 2-3 per week, a little more in the summer but that is a good average.

Chip, sorry to hear you might be stepping away for awhile, hope you stay active on the site.

dubleuhb 10-28-2012 04:47 AM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
I would have to guess around 12 to 15 years. Sometimes I chain smoke for days but then
there are times when I won't touch one for a week or two.

Glad to see that there are many more around that have been planning for the future, LOL

jjirons69 10-28-2012 06:44 AM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
Probably 2-3 years.

quantim0 10-28-2012 11:20 AM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
I smoke a lot more during the cool months here since I don't have to go anywhere to smoke.

So figure 8 a week during the winter and 5 during the summer. I'd say I have a good 5 years at current rate. But if I knew I couldn't buy any more I'd slow it down.

markem 10-28-2012 11:58 AM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
Crap. Just smoked my last stick. Knew I should have paid more attention.

So my answer is: it won't.

kuzi16 10-28-2012 06:35 PM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
i would be just under 10 years.

lenguamor 10-28-2012 11:21 PM

I just know that some of those little bastards are gonna outlive me.

carholio 10-29-2012 08:50 AM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
I have about a years worth. I only smoke 3-4 a week.

htown 10-29-2012 08:56 AM

Re: How long would your stash last?
 
I have cut back to 2-3 a month and at that rate 16 years or so.
