How are cigars commonly sold?

Answer 1

There are a few ways.

First is by singles. The cigar dealer will open a box of cigars and people will buy individual cigars out of it. If you don't have a humidor, or you don't know what you like yet, this is a good way.


Then come bundled cigars. They shrinkwrap 20 cigars into a brick and put them in the store. These are lower-priced sticks. A lot of them taste good--JR Alternatives are like this.


Next are boxed cigars. A box contains 20 to 25 cigars.


The above cigars are usually individually wrapped in cellophane.


Finally comes the Cabinet Selection. This is a box that contains, usually, 50 cigars. They're combined into a hexagonal arrangement and tied together with a ribbon. For some reason the ribbon is always red. In Kipling's The Betrothed he speaks of "fifty dusky beauties tied with a string." That's a cabinet selection. The idea here is you buy this thing and stick it in your big humidor, box and all, for a couple years to let the sticks inside age to a turn.


All those are hand-rolled cigars. If you buy machine-made cigars, they come either in packs of five or in boxes.
