Box, Bundle, Fiver or Single?

Lately I've been buying 5ers to try. If I really like the first 3 of my 5er I'll put it on my box wish list. Sometimes it goes slower (i.e. Buy single and like it then buy 5er then buy box). I prefer to have a box if I like it. Although I just filled up my cooler so not much room left

I almost always go for a box too afraid that if I like them I won't have anymore. And if I do like what ever it is I buy I want to be able to share

Well since doing a header down the dark side it's boxes all the way....to the detriment of my bank account. Thank god for overtime....

Box or bundle if online, at the B&M singles.

I buy almost everything in Singles, mainly because the B&M I go to the most often stashes a few of my favorite boxes away knowing that I will kill the box single handedly...
Last Month
1) Illusione ~4/2g~
2) Cubao #1
3) Tatuaje Reserva SW
Scary enough, this month is looking exactly the same thus far, with one addition...I did buy a box...I found a box of Padron Natural Ambassadors sitting on the upper shelf in the old 25 count box configuration...the cellos are YELLOW!!! AND DAMNED TASTY! (the cigars, not the cellos)

Like most, I assume anyway, I started with samplers to find out what I like. I still buy samplers, but they are getting fewer and further between. I've started leaning toward boxes, because buying singles gets pricey. Once I'm home again, I'm sure that will change. It's easier to nickel and dime my collection together without drawing the wrath of my wif.

I've bought a couple boxes, but I still get most my stock through fivers.

Start with a fiver, due to the value proposition over a single. But if it's good, I'll pick up a box -- even more value, plus a cool box.

If I am trying something new, I usually buy a fiver. Also I have no more room for boxes.

Fivers first, then some boxes, and now several singles before buying more. I first started buying fivers and sometimes I liked them and sometimes I didn't. Then I started buying boxes usually after smoking a cigar that someone had gifted to me. I had a coolerdor and had to fill it, but then my tastes would change and I still had half a box left. I now try to get singles at the B&M and to smoke at least 2-3 before buying more of them. I really like boxes because they protect the cigars, singles and fivers are just loose in the humidors.

I'm still learning what I like, so 5ers offer up enough sticks of one type to give them an honest try, and maybe even have a stick or two left to trade or share.

However, once I find some that I really like, a box purchase would be the next step.

I used to 5-packs but I tended to get to many cigars that I would try and not like and then have 3-4 left over. Lately I have been buying singles to try and then if I like them I buy 5-packs. I don't really buy any boxes because I don't have enough room to store them.

I know, I know, coolerdor.

I like boxes.

[AriesOpusX]

If I smoke something frequently and I like it, buying by the box is best. For new cigars singles. Hardly ever purchase any 5 packs.

[doctorcue]

Like many things in life... I desire the box.

[hotreds]

Fivers unless I REALLY wanna spend big bucks on a box and I know I love the stogie. Usually one cigar is not enough to form a valid opinion- unless it's really horrible. Actually, I'll buy the fiver, keep three to try, and send two to the troops or put them in my "to bomb" humi.

I didn't know how to vote 'cuz I buy boxes of CC's and usually 5ers of NC's.
After I tried and like the NC's then I will buy a box.

Fivers followed by singles for me. I have rarely bought a box, due to the cost of most boxes that I like. I like to buy a lot of different smokes, so I can have a varied stash.
