How many cigars do you keep on hand in your humidor(s), approximate number don’t want some of you up all night counting. Currently I have about 300 and an empty 200 count humi. that will be refilled soon.

So how many sticks on hand? Not hands on sticks.

Was digging for something special for a friend and decided a count was in order

127 boxes from 10 counts to cabs

4 large tubs of singles(mostly troop fodder of stuff not in my wheelhouse) on the top shelf and two smaller tubs on the second shelf of gifted goodies and rare/HTF sticks.I ain't got the time or inclination to come up with a number.


I'm really glad this came up...…..I was looking at BOGO deal but after counting I realized my cigars will outlive me more than likely.

Maybe 800-1000 total. Many boxes are only half full and a few go back as far as late 90s but 98.2% are less than 5 years old. Chunking away at a rate of two a day. Room for about 3000 if you believe the stated capacity of the humidor manufacturers.

Iirc, a similar question was posed earlier. I think my answer was around 1,300 to 1,500. Not much deviation since.

Fo’ sure I have way too many for my wife’s liking. Gonz

My Cabinet once held about 1000 Havanas. Might have 150 now if I'm lucky.

Just spending my disposable income on fishing/boating and not really smoking a lot unless I'm fishing/boating.

Frank did you really lose the ability to detect the nuances of different cigars, taste is tantamount to enjoying a stogie.

I think what was happening was that I was smoking so much more often than I really wanted that I found I was also ramping up in strength more often. Eventually it appeared to me that so many full strength smokes may have "burned out" my taste buds.

just seemed that I could no longer appreciate a nice south-of-med/full smoke. Fortunately as I was thinning my inventory and debating whether to quit, I cut way back and focused more on my Cubans and a few other good cigars in that general strength zone.

I continued to shred my stock, actually got to zero maybe a year, year and a half ago, and between very limited purchasing and a few raoks was close to 80 or so. Currently around 50 and a chunk of that was cuz clickbangdead sent triple what he should have after I relented and let him "even us up".

so I can now enjoy mild/med up to med/full but do not enjoy real full at all. Though I can enjoy them again, I know I'm still missing stuff I used to taste. For example, X000 Padron maddies aren't what they used to be for me, and I used to think if I could only have one make cigar for the rest of my life it would be them. Now, meh, OK but no longer wonderful. Don't know where the mocha/coffee went.

That's my theory of what happened.

Same thing happened to me, Frank... back in 2006 before I deployed. I thought deloyment would cure me if I didn't smoke any, so I pretty much abstained while I was there but for a few.

Still can't detect the nuances any more and I barely smoke if I ain't fishing.

And I still like the Padron maddies...

Currently just shy of 400, off a high of over 1,000. I’ve spent 2 years smoking my way through stuff that is fine, but not stuff I’d buy more of. In the last 4 years, since expanding past the few brands I’d buy from my B&M thanks to CBid and other places, I’ve narrowed down to what I really enjoy. Based on current consumption rates, I’ll start buying again in February/March 2020. Assuming the next house has space for my cabinet, I intend to hit the 3000 mark and stay there. That’s the plan at least. That way, I’ve got about 10 years worth on hand.

Probably around 2,000. I got pretty low last year; just a 28-bottle fridgerdor and a 100 ct desktop. Since about December of last year, I brought the other fridgerdor out of retirement, filled another 100 ct desktop, and broke out the 48 qt cooler. I also moved into a TINY apartment, so I'm actually thinking about getting a cabinet.

along with a four season ventilated smoke room...

I normally range from 200 to 300. At 258 right now, and I like all of them minus a few Connecticut shades and two Brazilias.

I think I'm going to do what Smokemonkey did and smoke down my stash and only replace with what I love.

Will you move already! The size of the bomb I hit you with is going to be proportional to the amount of time I have to restrain myself from hitting you. You've been warned!

Edit: I'm probably around 700.... maybe 1000.... or 1000+ I'm to scared to count.
