I'll chime in here also...
1. I would call my self a hobbyist, although I enjoy my pipes more often in the winter and fall seasons. Pipes just seem to taste better in cooler weather while cigars seem to go better with warmer weather. 
2. I also own 2 humidors... 1 desktop ,rated at 200, and 1 footlocker type, rated at 500. Both are fairly full, I would say I'm at right around 550 total at the moment. 
3. I do keep quite a wide selection, from maduros to Connecticuts mostly smaller ring gauge. I rarely smoke anything over a 50rg. I'm a moody person and I like to match my cigar, along with my libation, with my mood.
4. My favorite individual cigar is the Ashton made La aroma de Cuba, alas Pepin took over the production and the original is no longer available. As far as makers, you'll find mostly A.Fuente, CAO, and Pepin in my humidors.
5. I use whatever lighter and cutter I can find at the time, usually I cut with my Xikar but I have a Palio floating around here some where, and I must have 10 Ronson torch lighters, I've tried several of the more expensive torches but even filling them with the 3x distilled or better butane they eventually clog, so I just stick with cheep lighters and toss if they stop working.

So I'll start things off (only seems fair).

1. I would say I have reached the hobby stage, but I always enjoy learning about cigars and hope to keep doing so.
2. I own two humidors, I outgrew the first one so I just bought a second one. One holds about 100, and the other is listed as a 300 count, but my guess is that with the large ring gauge cigars I like it'll hold around 200. I like to keep mine around 67%-68% humidity
3. I like trying new ones, but I like having several of each of my favorites, and more on hand of the ones I like the most.
4. My favorite brand is anything made by A.J. Fernandez. These include the San Lotano, Man O' War, and Diesel lines to name a few. My favorite cigar is a toss up between the Man O' War "Ruination", and Ave Maria "Holy Grail".
5. I use a black ops 3 flame torch lighter, and my favorite cutter (I got it for Christmas, I'd never pay that much for one, but it is awesome) is a Xikar.

As a side note, I buy a good portion of my cigars from the local cigar shop, but I also buy some from online depending on the availability of my favorite kinds. Any new ones I try I but local first no matter what.

So I was on my computer which happens to be next to my humidors, and that got me thinking. Surely I am not the only one on here that enjoys a nice cigar every now and then. So I figured I would start a thread since I couldn't find any. So just to get things started, here are a few questions.

1. How would you rate yourself as a cigar smoker? (ex. newb, hobbyist, to connoisseur)
2. Do you have a humidor? If so, how many cigars does it hold, what humidity do you keep it at, etc.?
3. If you keep cigars on hand, do you keep a wide variety, or just duplicates of your favorites.
4. What is your favorite cigar? This can be brand, or a cigar line, or a single cigar.
5. What cutters and/or lighters do you use?

These questions are just conversation starters, so share more or less if you want. Feel free to ask questions, I'm sure someone one here will be able to answer it.
