Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?

[CHRONO14]

I'll normally buy 1-3 at the B&M to try a new stick and if I like it I get a box. However, I do have a crap load of singles from purchases of samplers on cs that I'm working through. I don't think I've smoked more than one of any stick (except the la riquezas) in the last few months because of trying new stuff.

There is no option for all of the above! I'm not picky as long as the box has a little green sticker on the outside!

[Totemic]

Oh wait. I thought this was a shopping list not a multiple choice...

Seriously, I buy all of them depending on the situation:

Singles - For those really expensive cigars that I want to try out (or those that interest me when I'm window shopping at my B&M).
5 packs - The ones I want to try that doesn't fit into the single category.
Boxes - For those that I like and come in boxes.
Bundles - For those that I like and come in bundles.

I figure there's a reason why my humidor is designed to hold both boxes and loose cigars. Far be it of me to go against the design of the humidor maker.

Unfortunatly i am a collage student and i only get to spend around 40 bucks every month on cigars. I guess you can say i have champagne taste with a beer budget! Oh i do love my RP Decades though

[Totemic]

If you like the Decade and are on a tight budget, I would suggest you head over the CI and check out the RP X-Out Liga 'D'. They are the decade "seconds". Meaning pretty much the same taste but supposedly a cosmetic defect kept them from being banded.

Personally, I can't tell any difference between the X-Outs and the banded ones. And I'm pretty sure with my glasses on, my vision is 20/20.

Edit: Bugger, they are backordered. My bad.

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.

[Starchild]

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

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

[cigarmonkel]

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...

[gnukfu]

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

[Clampdown]

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.

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.

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

[rizzle]

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.

[Skywalker]

So far I am really surprised by this poll!!!

I really expected boxes to win out but it looks like more of you like fivers (30%)!!!
