I suggest trading up! that's what I did. Trade some lesser boxes/bundles for a fiver of premiums. In fact that's how I've been able to smoke many Opus and anejos without ever having to hunt them down.

I'll smoke cheaper or less desirable stogies if I want to try something new or if Im afraid the conditions arent right to enjoy a fine cigar, i.e. Im rushed or my allergies are acting up. I do have special cigars though.

I just smoke what I want....unless I have a specific celebratory event (then I may have one or two set aside), I don't save certain cigars. I don't want to die and realized I smoked a shitty cigar because I was saving a premium one that day.

I keep away from alot of my "good" cigars for two reasons.

1) I tend to want to age the stuff I know is going to be great.
2) I have some singles of stuff I might not find again.

I only buy smokes I really enjoy, so I don't really have this problem. I don't really have any yardgars because other than for purposes of trying a smoke either I love them and stock them or I only like them and don't stock them.

I keep several yardgars around, but I usually only smoke them at work. Let the poor slobs there smell them instead of my family.

I do, however, try to find decent tasting smokes even if they are cheapies. And, yes, I have had better tasting yardgars than some of my more expensive smokes.

This is basically the classic "special occassion cigar" thread. I used to do that but now my cigars are no longer divided between "every day" and "special occassion." Now, I divide them among "smoking now" and "cigars to age."

Seriously, every day you wake up is a special day. So, make the most of it.
