Cigar smoking to buying ratio

[oskihen]

At a rough estimation since last autumn I'm averaging a ratio or about 1:12.5 , I smoke around two a week as the weather is improving that is rising to 5/7 , however my buying is still going another 4 boxes ordered.
Be interesting to see other Botl ratios , lol who I know are on par and some far higher .

I know I buy WAY more than I can smoke---it's a bad habit but I have some peace in knowing others are in the same predicament [emoji16]

Buy 3 and smoke 1 .For a long time ... Smoke about 150 to 200 cigars per year ... Buy about 450 to 500 per year .Looking at the longer/bigger picture ... Every 3 years I have about 1000 more cigars than I had 3 years ago .Doesn't sound like much ... But do it for ( over ) 20 years .Derrek

I would say I smoke maybe 2 / 3 a week and in the past month (including a holiday) I've bought about 150 cigars. I smoked maybe 3 in the 4 / 5 months to May.

I have told MLW that I'm building stock for when the day comes that I can't afford to buy cigars but still want to smoke them.

I better not post this ratio in case my wife sees it!

My smoking is outstripping my buying just now..that will change soon.

I'm probably at 3/1 buying to smoking at the moment. Still in the trying to find a favourite stage. Have already run out of room in the humi. Can't seem to find a decent one anywhere without spending a fortune. Have resorted to a temporary Tupperdor 'til I find one.

You guys have got it right. I myself am probably on a 1:1 ratio. Will pick up a few, put them in the humidor then smoke my way through them, until the next pay day when I can afford to buy my next few for the month

That's the great thing with cigars: they keep. And the longer, the better. So even if you are buying a lot in, it's all good. My collection is small because I only get through about maybe 15 a year, give or take. And word on the street is, my Mrs is bringing me a box back today from her short getaway

Ratio 1:1. Generally, I only smoke a cigar at the weekend. I may go to one of the cigar merchants in London on a Saturday and sample a cigar. If I enjoy it and the forecast for the weekend is good, I may purchase a few more cigars and enjoy them over the weekend.

My thoughts as well PJ.

Buying as the wise young Wigan has on his signature block, is far more addictive than the smoking. I have 10yrs stock at current levels but as PJ says, hopefully I'll have a long retirement (semi-retirement more likely), when money will be tighter than it is now so it'll be batten down the hatches & I'll have more than enough for a couple, a couple of times a week & I don't see me wanting more than that. If I don't live long enough to empty my humi's then my daughter will be on here trying to flog my wares, I trust you'll all be suitable generous with her legacy! P.S. She has been trained to keep them at the right humidity & earned her pocket money during her Uni yrs, topping them up whilst I was away.

Too analytical for me - if they're there, smoke 'em!
