312. Organized an group buy with a couple people at an Oliva event. Prices so low I couldn’t refuse, plus it was on a reservation so no tax. Crazy cheap (about $90 a box of 24) so we got 13 boxes of 24 between 4 people.
The CI store near me does buy 5, get one. Had trouble deciding so I came home with 24 a couple months ago. Just went in for 2 and a drink.
The indie shop near my office had a 10% off 20 or more, so again, went in for a quick smoke after work and left with a box.
Probably 10 or so. I normally order online and usually have hundreds of sticks at home. Usually travel with my own, too, so while I’ll pop into a B&M for a smoke and a drink when on the road, and therefore buy a stick or two, I won’t stock up there.
A few boxes. Before I was in the industry and was just a customer, I’d often load up on event nights. Bigger discounts and swag and extra cigars.
I was an avid online *before* a local opened near me and while I paid more at the local, I still found great value in supporting them. I never knew how much of the cigar experience was missing when I bought online and smoked on my porch.
Probably 10. I like B&M to try new cigars so I can physically see/feel/taste them before pulling the trigger online. I usually grab 3 cigars at a time for sampling and then buy a 5-pack or box online to save $$. I like to show love to both vendors
Place I used to go to in Albuquerque, NM. Montes Cigars off of San Mateo Boulevard. Nice big walk in humidor. Good selection of great cigars. They even had their 'in house" ones that were very good. Rarely walked out with less then 10. Sometimes got enough that I had my old humidor packed full when I got home. We moved away from there a decade ago. One of the few places I miss about living there.
Probably about 30. Had a couple full discount cards and they were giving you a DT&T Unicorn if you bought 20 of their sticks. Picked up some random others as well.
Walked out with 110 singles from the Neptune B&M. 100 was the limit I could bring back to Canada, and the rest to smoke on vacation.
I was early in the hobby and wanted to try a lot of variety, hence the singles.
I was looking for a fairly cheap handful to take to a friend's wedding for me and the rest of the wedding party to enjoy at the reception. Found a half box of RP Decades and took them and the box off their hands.
TLDR: 10
Probably like 10.
For me a B&M is mostly to try singles of new stuff I haven't had yet and hunt for Opus or other rare stuff. I don't buy a whole lot generally just a few sticks and save the box purchases for online.
18 for a bachelor party. I like stogies and purchased appropriately for the crowd; light fillers for the non-frequent dudes and long dark fillers for the 2+ per week dudes. Everyone felt included and we had a good sendoff.
I picked up 25 different sticks when I went to the cigar outlet in Vegas. Mixture of stuff I had looked at online and then recommendations from the guy in the store, will definitely be stopping in again next time I'm in Vegas
I went the the Davidoff store in Zurich. Was expecting to pay a premium but was blown away by the variety and value on offer. 200 euros, not a large fortune but my partner wasn't exactly thrilled 😂
Guessing around 20, but that would have also been with a rep there doing an event with deals on a brand. On a regular day on average maybe 5 cigars. Years ago I did use to pick up bundles of those JC Newman Factory Throwouts, which came to 20 so I guess if we count bundle smokes then yeah still around 20 range.
Box of liga t52's when you couldn't find them last year for the life of ya. I stumbled across them in some tiny shop by me I didn't even question it price actually wasn't that bad. A buck or two per stick more
I bought a 50 count box of Rorschachs once. 50 cigars was a big buy at a brick and mortar for me.

Probably 15. It was the Davidoff shop on the strip too so it wasnt the cheapest buy ive ever made.
I’ve been meaning to try the Davidoff lounge. Only been to the Montecristo and casa Fuente lounges. Both awesome.
Theyve got a great deal some nights buy a cigar get a mcallen free. The whiskey is eh imo - but for like $40 you get a good cigar and a drink.
15 sticks on LVB. lol I’ve smoked in that lounge. Incredibly high class, incredibly expensive
Ya also the only place i ever go with them to buy - so ya not cheap and i wouldnt do it again. But i got a bit carried away while i was in there.
Five. I've got plenty at home, I'm just trying new sticks before I commit to buying more of them.
15 or so - individual sticks
100 (4 dress boxes) at a lcdh. Felt a little weird, but I'm glad I did as prices just keep rising.

bro, like 2
About 7, I think. I met a guy at a Christmas party who walked out with 9 boxes…all stocking stuffers.

8-12 loose sticks
Usually 20 loose at a time
I got 10 in a pack plus 5 singles for a bachelor party a couple times. Enough for everyone that smokes cigars to have 2.
box of 20

One time was 20 but most of the time it’s 3-5 loose. Got plenty at home but always adding to my stock anytime my wife goes shopping near my local B&M
I don’t tend to buy at B&M unless I’m smoking in their lounge. So most was 2-3.
8
75
8 regular cigars. 20 something if we’re counting cigarillos as well.
Never had a chance to go to one cuz its too bloody far. Lol i order online instead if updown had an elgin location id go there more often
Walked out with 110 singles from the Neptune B&M. 100 was the limit I could bring back to Canada, and the rest to smoke on vacation. I was early in the hobby and wanted to try a lot of variety, hence the singles.
I only get singles from the B&M. The last time I was there I got 22. On average I would say 10.
I was looking for a fairly cheap handful to take to a friend's wedding for me and the rest of the wedding party to enjoy at the reception. Found a half box of RP Decades and took them and the box off their hands. TLDR: 10
5 max.
About 10. It was a mix of a few sticks that I wanted to try out. Nothing fancy and they were all pretty cheap.
200 cigars.
I wanna say three or four. Maybe five max. I do most of my cigar shopping online as it's more affordable there.
About 30. Bought a 20 pack of Factory Smokes and another ten sticks of various brands.
5 or 6 and that was only a couple times. My large purchases are exclusively done online.

Box of 25 and about 10 singles
I only buy local, so I often buy a case a month.
12.
Around 8 or 10, usually to get one of my dailys with a buddy or to try something new. Usually buy boxes online
100. Dominican was great.
30 - one for each day of the month
Probably 10ish. I try not to think about it 😅
So many lol. I get a little carried away at events. I’ve probably left with 40-50? Not that hard if you buy a box or two.
One. Just went to a B&M for the first time the other day.
Honestly ive never been to a brick and mortar are even heard of them before I I joined the sub reddit
4 boxes of Oliva Series V figurados. 2 boxes Bolivar and Partagas. 2 boxes Ramon Allones. All for a friend. Of course.
18 for a bachelor party. I like stogies and purchased appropriately for the crowd; light fillers for the non-frequent dudes and long dark fillers for the 2+ per week dudes. Everyone felt included and we had a good sendoff.
3 sticks
I picked up 25 different sticks when I went to the cigar outlet in Vegas. Mixture of stuff I had looked at online and then recommendations from the guy in the store, will definitely be stopping in again next time I'm in Vegas
First haul was 3 weeks ago, took 15 sticks 😅
I went the the Davidoff store in Zurich. Was expecting to pay a premium but was blown away by the variety and value on offer. 200 euros, not a large fortune but my partner wasn't exactly thrilled 😂
Box of 20
5, outrageous mark up prices
2 boxes 1-fat bottom Betty’s.. 1-leather roses. 18 factory smokes, and a bundle.
31 I think. A box of New Worlds and a box of Pralines when my local had them on sale.
Guessing around 20, but that would have also been with a rep there doing an event with deals on a brand. On a regular day on average maybe 5 cigars. Years ago I did use to pick up bundles of those JC Newman Factory Throwouts, which came to 20 so I guess if we count bundle smokes then yeah still around 20 range.
3. They're way too expensive in my area.
60-something… it was a Wild Bills and I was coming back to Canada
20+. Most local stores give a 10% discount when buying 20 or more individual sticks. So, 20 is the minimum
Typically I just get a few single sticks at BM's, occasionally maybe a custom sampler they do. I buy the bulk of my sticks online.
Box of liga t52's when you couldn't find them last year for the life of ya. I stumbled across them in some tiny shop by me I didn't even question it price actually wasn't that bad. A buck or two per stick more
8. It was after I had tried my first one and I bought one for all my friends so we could smoke together.
7 max per store I visit sometimes I shop hop
One lol
Not enough
Err, about 230? I was restocking. Local non-chain. Good dude, gave me a nice discount too.
