Default Re: What's a reasonable amount of cigars to have on hand?

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.
My thinking is along Tim's lines, so around 250 for me. It also keeps my routine purchases low, which keeps the wife quiet/happy, which makes living in my house reasonable.

But what's interesting is when I have non-forum friends over, who point out-- "Man, you have a LOT of cigars!" So to them, I'm not all that reasonable at all.
