What percentage of your purchases over the past 24 months have been Cuban Cigars?

We have run this poll before so it is time for an update. 

What percentage of your purchases over the past 24 months have been Cuban Cigars? 

Think 2025 through 2026 

 

Here is the previous result. It will be interesting to see the movement over the past 12 months (if any) 

[Ruggerpgh99]

Honestly, I wish it could be higher. 

[cnov]

I've guessed 40-60%, but as the person who sells me my cigars, I think you'd probably have some reliable numbers. 

[bmac]

I’m at 20-40 percent because they are increasingly hard to come by. I could buy more but concerned about authenticity via many sources.Not FOH-I’d gladly buy from y’all if available.

[ha_banos]

Over the last 24 months 342 cigars bought. 92.7% Cubans. Which includes some custom Cuban cigars too. Honestly more cigars than I thought. But that did include a holiday to Spain.

The 7.3% was a bundle of Fat Fundys 😊

 

[JohnS]

I'm in the 80-100% bracket still, although the acquisitions are less regular nowadays, evidently.

[Fugu]

Same camp as Banos and John, virtually unchanged for me. Buying less, due to pricing, availability and because I got (more than) enough, but still about 99% CC. Holding standing requests with a select few retailers for certain formats I want to supplement. Those I‘ll buy without a second thought as soon as they pop up.

[Havanaaddict]

Still buying Cuban cigars, but since the freeze and shipping problems, most of my purchases are custom rolls at this point. 

[Lucas Buck]

Was 100% until the past 24 months. Have dabbled in NC with Cubans so lean and mean these days. Still easily 99% Cuban though about 60% of those are farmies and custom rolls. 

[ElLoboLoco]

Not easy to get in the US unfortunately. The prices blow as well so...maybe 15%. I could never afford 100% Cuban nowadays being a daily blazer with limited stock and current market conditions.

Although, I have discovered farm rolls from some help from a bad influence.😝 I am guessing that will be 50% of my purchases this year.

I love so many NW cigars including and especially Fabrica 005/Bond Roberts. Also love my Davidoffs and Padrons, smoke a fair amount of Liga Privada and grab their limited releases when they come up, and have been appreciating Casa Carillo's new releases enough to buy boxes. Plus there are some LFD's I am quite fond of and will snatch off the shelf or online when I can, like the Andalusian Bull, Solis and La Volcada. Also, a friend just opened up a boutique focused cigar lounge and has been tempting me to try some new to me offerings from Casdagli, Warped, Cavalier and others. So my budget is probably 75% to 80% NW and 20-25% Cuban currently. I do enjoy my CC's, but there are SO MANY awesome NW cigars out there, and I want to smoke all of them. Plus I enjoy my B&M cigar lounges and of course I buy stuff to support them when I smoke there. 

[Bagman]

ZERO. Not 1 in 4 years. That number will not change. Glad I stockpiled when I did.

[Ford2112]

I am 90% NC. I only buy the occasional Cuban 5 pack when I can. Singles. The odd box once things open up.

[CanuckSARTech]

0%.

I haven't bought anything from the island since my last Havana trip, November 2019, and nothing cigars-wise at all, except from during a couple European work trips in 2020-2023 window. I haven't bought a thing in the past two years plus, and I've actually sold almost 50% of my long-term / collecting stock, due to family needs / keeping up with bills on paying for a house addition.

 

[Mike Mecklenburg]

80-100 for me.

[riderpride]

I'm in the 20-40% category. The only purchases were boxes of 10 to top-up those getting lower in stock. That's partly due to Cigarmageddon, and partly due to this country's insane tax/duty laws.

My schedule doesn't allow for much free time for smoking now with 2 young kids enrolled in 5 sports total, so I'm comfortable with my current stock for a long time.

Cheers!

[dicko]

About 20%, although I'm not buying much at all, and I bought a 25 ct of AF Short Storys which is skewing the numbers for this year. Going forward will probably be closer to 90% Cuban. Likely just 3 packs and the occasional replacement box when a favourite runs out.

Over the past 24 months for CC I have purchased 3 singles from my local LCDH. With the state of tourism to Cuba it is highly unlikely I will be going down for a holiday anytime soon, so I think for the foreseeable future it will continue with the odd single. Currently my collection is 28% Cuban and unfortunately I don't see this getting any higher as a percentage.

[Boss Hog]

Over the last 24 months I have purchased 708 cigars. 2.5% of them were not of Cuban origin for a total of 18.

Unfortunately, I see these percentages drastically changing in the next calendar year.

[Khimerah]

I’m saying 60-80% because while I but CC mostly in boxes I buy my NWs in singles or packs mostly. I’ve been focused on Cubans just because I want to make sure I have what I like regardless of any shortages or price increases. I’m gonna be a bit careful with my Cubans, won’t go through them as quickly as New World cigars but occasionally indulge. 

[Puros Y Vino]

I can say with confidence, my percent is 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000%

As a Canadian smoker, weather plays a huge part in my consumption rate. In this relatively fresh 2026, I may have smoked 5-6 cigars thus far. My smoke rate in context of my inventory will give me years of enjoyment without the need to buy more.  

[joeypots]

About half and half but I only bought 4 boxes as far as I remember. A hundred sticks is about 2 a week and that's been my normal rate but it seems to be heading up since I've been working less. 

I think most of us got so used to being able to source Cuban cigars that we lost sight of the reality that a law was being broken and if enforced we'd be f@#$%d. Add cigarmegedon and WTF? We've been caught in a crossfire of disappointing circumstances. 

 

[BG318]

I need to pump up my '26 numbers, but it has been difficult.

2026- 155 CC, 30 NC

2025- 450 CC, 25 NC

2024- 987 CC, 145 NC

The ONLY reason NC is increasing is because Fab 5 keeps releasing. Only the odd single at a cigar lounge for any other NC.

 

[griller]

I'm in the 60-80% range since farm rolls fall into this category. Authentic Habanos boxes came to 60 cigars (2 of 25ct, 1 of 10ct) for the last 12 months. All others have been farm/customs. All told my collection grew by around 300 cigars over the last 12 months so all but 60 were farms/customs. So far haven't bought anything new in 2026.

[SUP8333]

99% Cubans!
