I am different,
alot of people here can attest to that, but I buy most everything by the box mostly even if I have not tried them before. It is just so much cheaper in most cases per cigar, although it is more expensive than buy a 5 pack.
If you buy a 5 pack for $25 or a box of 20 for $80 you are still spending more on the box but less per cigar so that is where you have to decide if it is worth it. For me if I don't like the cigar I either trade them, sell them for what I paid, or send them to someone I know likes them.
Most of the time I am able to trade them for other sticks to try though. You also can participate in box passes and other things of that nature and diversify your collection. It is all personal choice though.
I wouldn't suggest going this route though unless you upgrade your humi to a cooler.
Academy Sports and Outdoors sells a 48QT Coleman Cooler for $16. Then you just have to pick up beads and a hygrometer (optional). The whole setup cost me $16 for the cooler and around $20 for the beads. So for the price of a smaller humidor you have a big coolidor. There is plenty of threads on how to setup your coolidor but I just left it open for a few days then sprinkled baking soda all over in the inside and rinsed it out. I then let it air dry for a few days. You then can put the beads and the hygrometer in and let it sit for a day then up your boxes in. Sorry for being wordy but I just wanted to express, like others have said in the thread, that it is very easy and pretty cheap to get a good setup going.
