Actively collecting since 2014. I've bought 20 boxes so far. That's a mix of 10 & 25 count boxes. I have other various singles. I smoke approx. 5 cigars total per week, but only 2 to 3 of those CC's. Y'all are embarrassing me on my smoke rate compared to some of you guys. Maybe I should slow it down lol.
I smoke one every day, 2 or 3 on the weekends

I am interested in polling the members here to guage the enthusiasm and depth of their Cuban obsessions.
Please state how long you have been actively collecting (acquiring,) how many boxes you posess,and how many you smoke per week/month.
If interested please list unusual/vintage items you enjoy.
I just reread the OP. I missed the Cuban Obsession line... None of my boxes are Cubans. I stick with NC purchases.

I have about 5 full boxes of CCs left. Bought around 2010-2011. They have a bit of age on them now. I smoke maybe one of them a week. The rest of the week is filled with cheap Dominican bundle cigars.

I have @25 boxes that are resting now. Have been aging/buying aged for almost 10 yrs. on average I smoke half a box per week, sometimes more, and sometimes less.

Very interesting thread. Seriously collecting since 2008. Smoke NC on a daily basis. Too many great NC sticks out there lately to smoke strictly CC's.
Caused me to take a quick count of what I'm sitting on as far as Cubans. 57 boxes of habanos although I'm embarrassed to say I only smoke 1-2 singles a month. Still purchasing actively for some reason. About 15-20 boxes are "investments" which I believe will appreciate in the coming years. ( Lord hear my prayer )

Started smoking cigars during the summer 2011 and started buying CCs late 2012. Since then I've probably bought 25+ 10/25ct boxes and I have about 15 full/partial boxes currently resting. Probably 50 or so singles/custom rolls laying around as well. Lately I've been buying one box and taking part in a couple splits each month. I usually have 3-5 cigars a week with 75% of them being Cuban.

Bought my first CCs in 2007, but I only buy a box or 2 a year and usually split the purchase with someone. Would probably buy more but I haven't committed to a larger storage option yet. Smoke maybe 1 CC a month. Rest is NC.

I am still looking for a couple of go-to small (under 50) RG regular production CCs that are ready to smoke within 6 months of production, and flavorful. Luck has not been great so far...
