Personally, I keep at least 3-4 months worth of cigars on hand. Personally I find most cigars 'come around' in about that time. So do your own math. Add a box or 4 for aging on top of that, puts me at around 5-7 hundred sticks in stock and 3 wineadors. Nice thing about having more than 1 is you can keep different sticks in different conditions as needed.
