Does having a vast selection...

[SDShark]

Interested to see what you guys think. Do any of you guys have a tough time selecting what you're gonna smoke on a day to day basis? I realize that there is always something you may be saving for a special day, or hoarding for fear of the apocalypse, but how long does it normally take you guys to choose what you're going to smoke? A few minutes? Do you sit at work and think if what you're going to smoke when you get home? I realize there are many variables here, but the if you have larger collection, do you have a harder time choosing?

Almost like, being indecisive by having too many options? (There's never too many cigars, I know)

Usually takes me about 5 minutes of standing in front of my storage devices to evaluate my mood, how long I want to smoke, and what flavors I'm feeling. That usually narrows it down as my stash is respectable but not large

 

[Grrrrr609]

My cigars are all over the map price size type etc. I have my htf humi (150 ct) and a htf cooler. A singles cooler and a singles humi (300 ct) then my organized, for the lack of a better term, humi (150 ct) and box cooler. If I want a liga its in my box cooler cuz they still in the boxes. If I want everyday cigar I go to my singles humi. If I cant find anything then I go to my singles cooler. If I want something specific I go to my organized humi.

Very funny you bring this up. I must go back and forth between my humis 5 times before settling. The whole process takes probably 15 minutes. So stupid. And forget about taking 5 with me to a card game. I'll be there forever. I recently started having my wife pick numbers that coincide with rows, then sticks etc. makes it easier for me. Hahahha.

I don't know what I want until I open up my humidor. It takes me about a minute to figure it out. There are certain sticks though that never last in my humidor.

 

[Craig Mac]

I know what I am generally in the mood for as far as size and strength so it never really takes that long to find something that will work.

 

[FullBody Smoker]

I have a naked humi (no cello) and a wrapped humi. Also, a cooler. I assess my mood, time to smoke and flavor preference. Usually takes about 3 minutes.

Hahaha that is F'ing funny right there. But I can't laugh to hard because I can't make up my damn mind. I'll grab a stick go outside and change my mind and have to go back in and grab a different stick. Haha

I go by size and amount of time allotted. Then I have a look inside and decide. Takes about 30 seconds of standing with a puzzled look on my face. There are somedays that scream lancero to me though! Also, so,entices when I get a new box I rip that sucker open as soon as I get home and spark one up ROTT.
When I have to take a 5er for travel, it usually follows a theme. Brand, size, wrapper...
Not saying I have a vast selection, but there are a few to choose from!

LoL great question! I am not the only one who stands there looking in the vino and says hmmm for a good 5 minutes. Alot has to factor in regards to time allotted to enjoy one as well. But yah I touch organize move put back and then finally grab one lol.

 

[mistaforty]

Yeah I pour a "while I decide drink" ...sometimes I do know what I'm gonna smoke and will go directly to it or I'll have a pairing lined up. But on a regular day I'll have my while I decide drink while I decide lol

 

[Benzopyrene]

I have used up all my smoking time before trying to find the right cigar, only to have to put it away because it got to late. Sad, but true!

 

[mdwest]

I dont find it all that difficult....

I have 4 or 5 "go to" sticks that I reach for about 50% of the time....

The rest are there for "special" occasions.. or to fit time requirements... or just to give a change of pace.. etc..

On a "regular" day.. I just reach in and grab a "go-to"...

On days there are other influencers (time, meal, friends, etc..etc..etc..)... It takes maybe a minute to figure something out....

 

[SmokeAndMirrors]

I usually try to figure out what I am craving profile-wise....could be an all day event lol

It's does make it more complicated, but also part of the fun digging through a fridge and various humidors for long forgotten treasure!
Also, the point about the apocalypse is real. Taxes in Australia have gone up a huge amount since 2010 and are poised to go up 12.5% a year for the next 4, making taxes more $$$ often than the initial box price. Many of us have started hoarding for when the time comes it'll get to pricey as a hobby.

Says the guy who was recently bombed with more cigars than he could count in an hour... you have good reason for being indecisive Shark.

 

[Lipher]

I can stand there for quite some time deciding since I have various humis.

What I've been doing is weekends alone are for trying new sticks and when I go out its for repeats of what I like. Anything at work are quickies like baitfish or half cc just to get a fix. I found that approaching it this way stopped me from sitting there for 30 minutes frozen with excitement and indecision

 

[RacFocus]

I am a game time decision guy. I have 2 humidors. 1 is an everyday sticks humi and 1 is a CC and HTF type stuff. If I am smoking on a weeknight I head for the everyday sticks because I am not afraid to put it down if I am not feeling it or am getting tired. On the weekends I usually head for the other humi. Usually only takes a minute or two of starring at them to decide.

 

[MoJo]

Yes, I do think about what I'm going to smoke when I'm at work

For NCs: The top shelf of my desktop is usually where I put my "smoke soon" selection. These are an assortment of sticks that have peaked my interest at some point in the recent past and I put aside to smoke in the near future. I normally just choose from them. If at some point during the day I remember a cigar I would like to revisit, find a gem when playing cigar tetris with my stash, acquire a new stick I would like to try, smoked a cigar that I want another of, etc., then that stick goes on the top shelf for me to select from later.
