I Always Buy Singles Or 5'ers Of New Sticks I Want To Try. If I "Really" Like Them, I'll Buy A Box. I Have A 10:1 Ratio Of Singles To Boxes. I Love "Variety"!

Default Re: How do you buy your smokes?

I buy boxes trying to catch discounts and save on international shipping. I usually add in a 5er to try new sticks. I always buy a stick when I'm in a local shop. I usually give these away.

Right now I am just buying singles, 5ers and samplers. I am still trying to find a few that I really like before I delve into the box buying madness that I know is coming.

Default Re: How do you buy your smokes?

I still only buy by singles, it became evident to me on Monday how poorly suited my humidor is for an entire box when I had to play tetris for a solid 15 minutes. Granted, who doesn't love playing tetris?

I usually pick up HTF/Rare stuff here and everything else comes from my local B&M. A combo of singles and boxes.

I love that place. I don't mind overpaying a bit to keep them in business

Boxes of my regular smokes, but I'll buy singles of something new and then a box if I enjoyed it.

Great idea putting money aside every time you have a cigar!

I buy boxes, bundles, fivers online, and singles at the B&Ms!

Default Re: How do you buy your smokes?

Sometimes I buy 1, sometimes more than one, sometimes 5 and others 20 or 25. I support my local B&M and keep a vault there. I buy on-line and use the WTS/WTB here. Wherever and however I can get my grubby little hands on them I buy them.

Default Re: How do you buy your smokes?

I buy boxes. I get lots of stuff here in WTS. Sometimes even singles to top off boxes or make certain groups of cigars I want.
I don't have a B&M. The last one I went to was nice, but the entire huge walkin was full of empty boxes. Literally. It was the craziest thing I ever saw.

I buy singles at my local B&M, and fivers and the occasional box online. As someone said earlier, I don't mind paying a little more to help keep the local shop in business. I look forward to being able to see the WTS/WTB forum here! I still have some empty space in my Vigilant.....
Best regards,
Murray

Where is this WTS/WTB section? Am I missing something or do I just not have the clearance yet?
