What percentage of your cigar inventory is Cuban/Non-Cuban currently?

[JohnS]

I did a re-stock of my inventory this week and with the inclusion of Nudies, my Non-Cuban stock makes up 7.5% of my inventory. I think that before 2020 (i.e the advent of the Covid-19 Pandemic and price changes later by Habanos S.A. in mid-2022), my cigar inventory would have been exclusively Cuban.

I’m at about 99% Cuban. I still have some NC from my first year before I got in to Cubans. 

[Mike Mecklenburg]

I'm at the 97.5% Cuban only because of the non-serious cigar smokers that come over and want to smoke.

I’m right there with you, I have a handful of opus X from 97’ 98’ release sitting in a desktop. 

[MPhillips]

Almost all Cuban with the rest being almost all Nudies.

[griller]

I'm at 90/10 Cuban, and the 10% non Cuban is made up of Illusione Epernay, Nudies, and Aladino boxes only. 

[ha_banos]

I think I'm around 95% if my spreadsheet is all up to date. Feels about right.

[Lamboinee]

15-20% non Cuban.

But I probably only really care about 50-70% of my Non-Cuban stash. The rest are Turd Fergusons and Rick Flairs.

[Bagman]

Everyday my % of Cubans drops and Non-Cuban % increases. While I have way more Cubans at the moment due to insane buying from 2017-2021, I will never buy another box of Cubans again. Hence I will be 100% Non-Cuban eventually. Though that will take 2+ decades due to my current inventory.

[Sir Diggamus]

My collection is about 60% Cuban, 40% Non-Cuban overall. I have always had a mix of both, but my NC share jumped a little during COVID lockdown.

I selected 97.5 but probably a bit closer to 99.

Total of 12 Non Cuban cigars out of 6393.

Padrón and Davidoff.

So would you say closer to 98.2 or 98.5? I did more math today to answer this poll than I have done for any tax year.

For me NC garbage more fills a gap. It’s no longer affordable to smoke a 30 bucks RASS on a golf course. A 15 buck NC is ok for now. Keep the Cubans for when I’m sitting down and wanting a good cigar.

My CC percentage is going down fast since I smoke 5 CC to 1 NC. I’m happy to keep buying Nudies but averse to buying CCs at current prices. I’ll try to keep it 75% CC but every price increase makes it tougher to pull the trigger on new boxes. 

[BG318]

I'm sitting on around 2000 sticks. 150 are NC, 138 of those 150 are Nudies.

Trying to keep a ceiling of 2500 sticks. Trying.

[BoliDan]

~5% NC. I never keep inventory though. I just make sure they are living their best life.

[cnov]

I'm guessing about 90% Cuban, the rest are mainly Nudies.

Maybe 99.85 or 99.95

[Ruggerpgh99]

60% NC - 40% Cuban. I am newish to the CC game, and at the current prices and the anxiety of getting them, its a bit cost prohibitive. I am probably smoking 90% NC to 10% cuban while I build up my stockpile of CC, and allow for some age. There are so many GREAT NC cigars out there, including MOFOH and Nudies, not to mention Padron, Warped, Stolen throne, just to name a few. They all provide different experiences, and I am still new enough in my journey to appreciate them all. 

[joeypots]

I'm not quite sure but Cuban inventory is more than 90%. Smoking % is different and I'm keeping Cuban cigars to savor. 

[Goldeneye]

Almost exactly 50-50 for myself at the moment. I currently smoke probably 5:1 NC:CC at the moment due to trouble (cost and availability) of getting anymore Cubans, so they are saved for special occasions or if the mood is just right. I am quite happy I have found some NC that i really enjoy, AF Hemingway and Nudies that have become my everyday cigars and hoping to find a couple more kinds that hit the spot for me.

[mikejh]

For someone living in the States, its so much easier to find deals on non-Cubans, it's like they are desperate for you to buy their products. Every day my inbox is flooded with the latest deals. I would probably be a 50/50 split if Habanos prices were lower, but right now I'm at about 17%. Also for me, Habanos are still a special occasion type cigar, I smoke less of them, so I don't feel the need to buy as many of them.

98% Nudies

1% Cuban

1% Other Non-Cuban

Happy as I can remember with my smoking. Prior to the release of Nudies I was 100% Cuban and had been for over a decade. I ended up smoking through my CC stash, trading tons of CC for Nudies and just buying Nudies. Still have a few boxes of CC left but I'd trade every one of them for Nudies if it wasn't such a hassle. The reasons for the above change was a desire for a stronger cigar, CC construction issues and tight draws, CC prices, and how stellar the Nudies and MOFOH lineups are regarding construction, value, strength and flavors.
