How do you buy your smokes?

mcmoyer · 08-17-2011, 03:30 PM

Boxes and fivers mostly. A few singles at the local B&M.

A fiver first then once I smoke through that if it's box worthy I will get a box.

I used to buy a lot of 5'ers but they go annoying to keep track of. Now I only buy boxes so that I get the date codes as wella s atidy box to hold them, and if I like them I know what I want more of. If I don't like them I let them rest for a long time then retry.
Buying boxes also keeps the buying ahead of the smoking, which makes for aged smokes, so it's win-win.
I'm building 2- 30"x16"deep wide singles shelves for the walk-in as we speak to hold all my stupid singles and 5'ers. Boxes rule.

Mostly 2fer samplers, then. if I like something, I'll buy a 5er. Usually smoke rott, then put the rest away for at least a month or two. Only bought one box and it was an impulse buy thanks to the wording of the ad. Did smoke one of the impulse buys and actually liked it rott.

I buy boxes, bundles 5ers & singels what ever is see & like. When it comes time to pay I use the old debit card. Reason for that is if I cant by it cash I dont need it.

Agreed. I dont even own a credit card.

I typically get singles from the B&M's to try and if I like em enough, I'll put them on the list of boxes to buy.

I buy boxes, and lots of different ones...
but I have the luxury of getting the from the ISOM duty free...

As to the original post. I try to buy boxes (cheaper then singles). I will also do the 5er if its a good deal, then do 4 of them.

This is what I was thinking too....chit, wife will shoot me if I ever spend for a box, only way I'll get a box is if she buys it for me as a gift

All I know (at least my wife knows) is that I spend too much. I tend to buy samplers to get a mix and boxes of smokes I truly love. Rarely do I buy singles or go to B&M shops to buy cigars.
