, what 10 boxes

I haven't had enough CCs at this point to have an opinion but when this is over it would be interesting to see which 10 got the most votes.

These are what I consider to be the current production basics of any well-stocked humidor, and are the boxes I always keep in stock. E2s are a recent addition to the list.

Someone needs to compile these into a further top ten breakdown. 

[Akela3rd]

Here's a spreadsheet of where people put things. I wish I still had my statistical software from grad school I could break it down further.

Interesting. Useful way to look at it all and thanks for pulling it all together. Now we need to let@planetary loose on it...
Fascinating that only one person went for Fonseca No1 despite all the hyperbole it gets on this forum. Unless, people want to keep it quiet.
Or, maybe it's not considered a starter box? I would have thought the light flavours and good consistency would make it a shoo-in. It would certainly be in my 10.

Interesting, it would take a little work but if you could give each 1st place cigar 10 points, each 2nd place cigar 9 points and on down the line. Then rank the number 1 cigar the one with the most overall points and on down the line. If it is a slow week at work I may try this.

[Cubadust]

In no particular order

Partagas Serie D4
Partagas Serie D5
El Principe
RASCC
RASS
JL2
PLPC
HUHC
HdM Epi.2
HdM Petit Robustos

So everything would pretty much stay exactly the same.

[Gamehawker]

In no particular order:

H. Upmann #2

H. Upmann Connie A

H. Upmann Connie 1

H. Upmann Sir Winston

RASS (cab of 50)

Cohiba Siglo VI

Cohiba Robustos

San Cris El Principe

Trinidad Fundadores

Cohiba Coronas Especiales

As you can tell I'm partial to H.Upmann

I don't think they're in any particular order, but if you're really bored you could do a weighted and an unweighted list.

I do not think the majority of the people responding have put their 10 into any particular order or place.
