What do you buy most? - Page 2

akakirby · 09-09-2009, 06:57 PM

singles mostly for me, have bought a few fivers in the past though.

BlackDog · 09-09-2009, 06:59 PM

I voted boxes, since most of the sticks in my coolers were box purchases. But I've also bought a fair number of "mixed samplers" from brothers here at CA. Oftentimes the price per stick on these deals is too good to ignore.

WyGuy · 09-09-2009, 07:03 PM

Mainly boxes with the occasional 5 pack.

09-09-2009, 07:04 PM

Boxes boxes and more boxes.

Cabs if I can get em.

mmmmmmm Boxes.

09-09-2009, 07:16 PM

I voted for boxes but I also buy alot of singles....how you gonna try'em to see if you like'em!

Bubba - NJ · 09-09-2009, 07:18 PM

Mostly boxes anymore but usually only after trying a single and followed by a five pack and then the box purchase or multiple box purchase .

Smokin Gator · 09-09-2009, 07:21 PM

Mostly boxes for aging... I do buy some samplers/5ers for daily smoking.

Bax · 09-09-2009, 07:30 PM

It's cheaper by the box and if I don't like them there's always someone who does.

5ers and singles...voted for fivers.

I buy whatever is the best deal on what I'm looking for. 5ers, daily specials, samplers, etc. When it's a stick I know I want a lot of, I'm always on the look out for a good deal on a box, because getting a new full box is just really fun

Scottw · 09-09-2009, 09:57 PM

boxes for me lately.

perogee · 09-09-2009, 10:19 PM

started with singles and samplers, been moving toward boxes as I have found things I like

gnukfu · 09-10-2009, 10:58 AM

Boxes or less than boxes

TripleF · 09-10-2009, 03:09 PM

mostly singles for me.

BORIStheBLADE · 09-10-2009, 03:15 PM

boxes

Chemyst · 09-10-2009, 09:32 PM

Now that I know what I like, I buy more boxes.
If I want to try something new, I'll buy a few at
the local b&m, or find a sampler/special with them.

Some sticks are just too darned expensive, so I have
to buy singles, if I really want to smoke them. Then
again there are deals that include one or two super
pricey smokes, which I can then justify the purchase
(a special/sampler) based on "average" cost per stick.

I'm sure the average cost of every stick in my humis is
under $6.50, but includes many Hemis, OpusX, Anejo,
Cien Anos, Graycliff, Ashton, etc. These expensive sticks
are offset by more everyday smokes like CAO Brazilia, RP,
Pepin Blue/JJ, HdM Excalibur, Punch, Oliva, RyJ, Torano, etc.

This is a complicated hobby to keep within budget.

I don't think I've EVER spent more than $15 for a smoke, and
my self imposed limit is $10, although prices are creeping up.
Unfortunately my paycheck isn't going up as much. If it's
my birthday, or Xmas, and have some mad money saved up,
I buy a couple extra OpusX or Hemi maddies for special occasions
later in the year. That's how I accumulated many of the htf
sticks, now resting comfortably. Not enough special occasions!

My goal this year is to buy a box of Hemi maddies for Xmas. Not
sure if my local will go for it, though. Last year, my best smoke
was a Hemi Signature maddie with 2-3 yrs on it, and salted with
plume. A memorable/remarkable smoke, on a cool autumn afternoon.

Most of my purchases come in the form of singles purchased at local shops.
