Personally, I find experimentation to be the thing I enjoy most. So while I keep finding "favorites", the most I commit to is maybe a 5er because of not only limited space, but also the thrill of the hunt for new favorites. I enjoy buying 5-10 at a time of new ones that people recommend, and I'm slowly dipping my toe into boutique brands. To kinda bust me out of my comfort zone, I am also joining COTM clubs, that way the sticks they select are completely out of my control and will break me out of my comfort zone.
How often do you buy your cigars?

I'd say a mix. I buy boxes of my favorites. Then I buy 5-packs of stuff I don't smoke as often or new stuff or "flash" releases. Probably 1-2 fivers a month plus a CotM club. I also try and smoke some boxes faster than others so I don't have to replace everything at once xD
What COTM do you use?
Have been researching them to find a good one

I went with the Nomad and Friends Club. It came down to that or CFed's CotM.
Cool, thanks.
I will look into them
I have been considering cfed as they seem to offer a nice selection, and i have enjoyed some samplers of theirs I have had

They are both very good. @Bazillions got me into them. I joined Smoke Inn COTM...the only reason I didn't do CFed or Nomad/EZ is because I keep buying like every other one of their new release 5 packs anyway and plan to keep doing so!

Appreciate the input.
Will look into the smoke inn one too.
Have never had anything by Nomad/EZ, so likely will go with someone else.
I really wish the Arturo Fuente/J.C. Newman Connoisseurs Club was still around.
My favorite nc marca and was a really great club.

Could you explain their specific idea you mentioned? I'm not really familiar with nomad at all

Boxes for CCs, singles for NCs. CC boxes are generally easy to stack/store, NCs often have weird-sized or way oversized boxes with a crap-ton of lacquer or paint.
That is why I take everything out of the box. Plus it is easier to store them as singles.

I mostly do a weekly pick up. I have yet to order anything online I just stop at a local shop that has a humidor and pick up enough for the week I’m looking to start collecting so I’ll probably be buying more.

Depends on my mood. There's times I order multiple times a day, then I'll go a month or so and not order anything.
I'm in the Nomad club too
I buy CC's by the box or split a box with a few guys
NC's almost exclusively 5ers

I very rarely buy cigars anymore unless I see something that I think I've gotta have. For 3-4 years before I retired, I stocked up somewhat and that's what I smoke. I don't keep up with the new releases except for watching the "Whatcha Smokin" thread. I did splurge and bought 2 boxes so far this year.
i buy if they are on sale and I really need them. Or if they are on sale and i don't really need them. Or if I really need them and i can't find them normally. If I can find them normally, and they aren't on sale, I might buy then too.
There is a lot of truth in that statement!

Usually 2 orders a month. I don’t smoke as often as I’d like. But usually run into a deal I can’t pass on and I don’t see some of them being available in the future or a stupid cheap deal I give to my brother in laws when they try to raid my stash.
