What would your ultimate (realistic) cigar collection be?

[LeafLover]

I'm looking at my wine fridges and I'm still not satisfied!!!

I ask myself, what cigars and how many boxes of each would I be satisfied with?!! Dont bother with the "I'll never be satisfied" replies. Here are the parameters.

- Only what you can afford.

- Only what you can feasibly get your hands on with your vendors and trades

- Only what your current storage can hold

- How many boxes of each

[Trent0341]

Not trying to be a smart ass but with those parameters my collection would be exactly what I have.

It's what I can afford, was able to get my hands on and could fit in my humidors. I have as many boxes as I can comfortably afford.

[CurtisEss]

My current cigar collection is definitely more than I can afford and bordering on too much for my humidors to hold, so I would have to agree. It is as good as it realistically could get.

[Larsy]

Only what I can afford?

So, the exact same collection I have now

Now if I had more money on the other hand....

[polarbear]

Are you planning to do one big shop to last you a while or will you restock as boxes empty?

I have a 72 count wine fridge that holds around 45 boxes

If i were to fill it from scratch but planning to reorder, I would be buying

2 boxes Monte 520's

2 boxes Monte Grand Edmundo

2 boxes Monte Especial #1

2 boxes Monte 4 (hand picked by Prez)

2 boxes Monte 2 (hand picked by Prez)

2 boxes Cohiba Siglo 6

2 boxes Cohiba Lanceros

2 boxes Party SD4

2 boxes Party SP2

1 box Party 898

1 cab Party Shorts

2 boxes Mag 46

2 boxes Mag 50

2 boxes HDM Epi 2's

1 cab of PLPC's

2 boxes of RASCC

2 boxes of RASS

5 boxes of RA Superors

2 boxes of RyJ Short Churchill

1 box of RyJ Ex #4

4 boxes of La Flor De Cano RE

2 boxes of HDM Epi Delux

If i had a spare $10k-$15k and I wanted to fill a fridge in one hit, thats what i would go for

Most of those boxes are reg production and the limted run boxes can still be had fairly cheaply and easily if one knows where to look

I have at least one of every box on that list and will be getting another of each (or restocking) as time permits

If i could only do one big shop and that had to last me for a long while the list would be

10 Boxes Monte 2's

10 boxes Cohiba Siglo 6

5 cab RASS

5 cab PLPC

5 boxes PSD4

5 boxes RA Superors

5 boxes RASCC

I guess I could've bought a few things differently, but I'm happy with what I have for now.

[Rye]

I already buy more than I should, and don't have as many as I should.

My mind just starts racing when trying to think of a better answer for this, so I am clearly not there yet.

[LeafLover]

On top of my current stock, I would add:

3 boxes of H Umann RR

2 cabs Hoyo Epi 2

1 cab Epi 1

1 more box of 898's

50 cab RASS

I think I would he pretty content after that.

[Smallclub]

I think I would he pretty content after that.

I don't think so; a little frustration is a part of the game…

[Hiroshiro]

What I have now I guess? Money isn't the problem is setting up the Humidors I can probably Fit 3 more WInedors for a total of 6. I will supply the West Coast LOL

[UKtrader]

Probably like Churchill. Heard that he stored 4000 cigars at any one time at Chartwell.

[oliverdst]

Man, this "Only what your current storage can hold" makes almost impossible to me.

[Smallclub]

Probably like Churchill. Heard that he stored 4000 cigars at any one time at Chartwell.

I know several people who store way more than 4000 cigars… and they are smokers, not collectors…

[Hiroshiro]

The only things I'm missing is a box of LGC. No 1 LGC Tainos and ERDM Tainos. Maybe a box of Cohiba Piramides 2001/2006... Cohiba Sublimes. Mostly stuff I can't find but I'm sure they are out there... if only I could find them...

[canadianbeaver]

If I could have back what I had a couple of years ago...

[Puros Y Vino]

Not really into the numbers aspect. For me it's more of an approach. I buy what I can, when I can, while I can. Tobacco restrictions aren't loosening, they're getting tighter. I foresee the day when the logistics of the postal services in my country along with the border services integrate and are able to "capture" taxable goods at a higher rate. Until then, I'm going to stockpile cigars. I have slightly changed my buying patterns in that I'm looking for regular production cigars that I enjoy and want to age over time. A good LE or RE will always be in scope too, but regular prod and custom rolls are my primary focus.

I've got a full Remington right now but I can't help but think I'd love a small walk in for my new house.

So the ten boxes of the Italian ER and the pile of infantes is just a side kick! :-)

[Diamondog]

My ultimate realistic cigar collection will be complete when I have so many boxes that when I come across boxes I say to myself "Wow, I forgot about those"....I am ultra conscious of what I have at all times with a pretty decent sized collection. I can't imagine the size of the collection it would take for those parameters to exist. Reg production/EL/RE...

[PigFish]

If I could have back what I had a couple of years ago...

…if I could have back what Tabacuba destroyed a couple of years ago!!! I would still be interesting in buying cigars from Cuba.

[ramon_cojones]

Not trying to be a smart ass but with those parameters my collection would be exactly what I have.

I LOL'd, exactly what I was thinking. I love my collection for the most part, everything I have is a favorite of mine with some change of pace smokes and no fillers. It's highly focused so I'm never dissatisfied with what I smoke except for that hsa qc thing from time to time.

[Hiroshiro]

FOUND LGC TAINOS. Thank you LCDH that doesn't move LGCs LOL all mine muahahahahaha!

If they are from a date before 2009 you can have them all, and good luck finding some flavours…

That doesn't include what I've already bought......
