This is a weird topic. The arguement is one of semantics...i would classify a box of cigars as one full of cigars. But too each their own. This will probably be as varied as peoples tastes in cigars.

It would be if anyone were serious here.

Kudos to Crystal for making it a perfect justification to go shopping!

Give that girl a cigar!!!

I am with addiction on this one.

However I think of my overall volume in boxes so in my case I think I have 110 to 120 boxes...........where that implies the total # of sticks but I probably only have 60 or so actual boxes

but another 70 to 80 partials

If the box only had one cigar in it than it would be a box with cigar!

I have the next one.

If the box only had TWO cigars in it then it would be a box with cigarS.

So I gather the critical issue here is a box OF cigars or a box WITH cigars.

It is not a full head!

if you dig a hole, then fill half of it in...do you still have a hole or half a hole?

DMK · 01-20-2010, 03:15 PM

All of you have way too much time on your hands...

I own about forty boxes, most of the 'partial', some of them hold something other that cigars... errr... time for a smoke....

If we are about to herf, then I have boxes of cigars that there are still enough of to be in the boxes. If I were to sell or trade them, they would have to be full. If we are talking about my favorites, then it doesn't matter how many are left if I like them enough to be always buying more, there will always be a box.

Bubba - NJ · 01-20-2010, 08:55 PM

I keep all cigars in the box they came in when I bought them . If there is 5 left they stay in the box and still take up a box space . Only after they move to the singles tray does the box go away , helps with keeping box codes straight . His way seems very technical but I do see where he is coming from .

I see Addiction's point, though it is kinda splitting hairs. I always just make it clear by using the word full, like:

"I want a FULL CAB of Tat Verocu East Side."

But I always estimate when I'm just figuring things out in my head or talking to people. I might say "I have like 4 boxes WORTH of Padilla Signature 1932s," meaning around 100 sticks--even though they were purchased in 5, 10, and 20-packs and not actual full factory boxes!

Here is her response, as close as I can paraphrase it:

Well then, since you don't have that many boxes, that means you can shove them all up your ..... as they will fit better now.

Mr. Blueface, sir, I'd love to herf with your wife. Your attendance is optional.

Marianne said it best, nobody here is playing with a full box.

Threads like this remind me why I love this place.

My theory is, if you bought the full box, you own it. Does not matter how many you have smoked.

skibumdc · 01-29-2010, 12:10 PM

I fully admit Bryan is right if you are counting boxes in terms of the ability to sell.
For me, who does not intend to sell partial boxes, if I purchase and smoke a few out of the box, I still consider myself having a box.

Just my opinion

okieRob · 01-29-2010, 04:49 PM

For me: (ok I may be splitting hairs here)

I have a full box until it has been opened.

I have a partial box until I move the remaining gars to the singles drawer.
