What do you have in your daily box?

[SUP8333]

This is mine, I have a few boxes of smaller vitolas so I just grab and go when I don't want to think. What's yours?

[ha_banos]

Was taking about this last night. I don't have a rotation. I have, whatever I can be arsed to get to in the perpetually overfilled cabinet. Digging through looking for boxes or trying to find something stuffed into a made up box. First world nightmare. 

So for me it's simply what I can easily reach is game. Which you get a view of in the daily smoke thread!

Mine looks like a pile of Nudies and a box of old Padron coronas I found in the bottom of a cooler. That’s the current “go-to” humi.

Mines a stack of 10 42-liter weathertight containers and 2 mini fridges in the basement. The whole menu is open for business every day. Tonight, JL Seleccion Especial from FOH trade is delightful! It was screaming at me to get out today. 😁

I keep a small Ball mason jar on my desk with a couple H. Upmann Coronas Major tubos and Davidoff Signature No. 2 tubos.

Perfect grab and go smokes!

I'm with @ha_banos. It depends on how deep I want to dig.

[Pigpen]

For me it boils down to what I am doing, how much time |I have and the weather, all of which influence my choice.

This is me. I do a minor excavation or whatever is on the top of one of my giant humi tubs. Being lazy is a great way of aging cigars/completely forgetting what you have.

I am similar to @ha_banos No rotation or queue of cigars I plan to smoke. 

I keep a Noella jar filled with singles to free up space of near empty boxes. Top draw of Aristocrat has some odd ball's. I save tubos and put something else in them that'll fit. They make great grab and go cigars. 

Picking a cigar to smoke is what I like least about the hobby/passion. Too hard to decide. Especially since the price hikes. Cost & availability has crept into the equitation and had never a consideration 😞. 

Several are "the same old same" boxes, some going back decades. I like smoking someone else's cigars. Feels like it's a new experience. I don't bring cigars to cigar lounges. Rather check out something new. 

[ha_banos]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. 

[Jimmy2]

I pick what I want when ready to smoke.

I enjoy the thinking, I spend a good ten minutes a day staring through the glass doors on my humidor deciding what to smoke.

It's just like an adult version of being at the candy store!

We have a second home in Colorado where we spend 6 weeks or so in the summer and I’m on the road for work a few days here and there. I was strapped for time and so I packed a 4.7qt Tupperware Brilliance with about 20 Fab5 Queen Coronas and about 15 Petit Coronas. The QC’s fit perfectly. I actually like just having 2 options for a few weeks. Grab one, light it up. I love having the variety at home but I will spend 30 min choosing a cigar. Nice to keep it simple. I am a uniform guy, I wear basically the same outfit every day so for a month or two having fewer decisions to make works for me. 

PS - the QC and the PC are both banging cigars. The QC I could smoke every night and be perfectly happy.
