Scott, is this the part where we have the interventionalist conversation about "quality vs. quantity"?

Using arbitrary figures of course, you could spend 2 grand on 500.00 hookers 4 times, or 50 bucks..... er... hell, nevermind.

Not as much as I used to spend. At one point it was like $500 a month. :r

More than the wife approves of, less than I'd like to.
Lately I've been buying almost exclusively from cbid. You can score some great deals with patience and good timing.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

since april 09 its gone waaayy down, and it was mainly because I just didn't want to support the tax in anyway possible (and I still think the other shoe has yet to drop). But that attitude only lasted so long, what with new smokes coming out all the time. But I kept the frugality of it going, and have since really gotten into some amazing cheap smokes. So:

Prior SCHIP - sky was the limit, some months were multiple (upwards of 2-5) boxes anywhere from a min. of $100.00 and a max of $300.00 once

Post SCHIP - most months $0.00 with a general max of $50.00

I have come to really enjoy the thrill of the hunt for amazing cheap smokes... especially when you learn that most of the stuff you love is made from Nicaraguan Aganorsa leaf anyway.... lot to be had of that for wicked cheap.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

This question got me curious, so I went back over my records and was pleasantly surprised at the result.
Since 1/1/09, I've only spent a total of about $1,400.

Oh, plus the $60 I'm about to spend on 2 Padilla Commerative Samplers (4@ of Padilla 1932, 1948 & 1968 Robustos for $29.99 at Cigars Int'l, using the free shipping code).:D

Stocked up a new Cabinet and a vino. Averaged 400 a month over the last 5 months doing it. Both are now full so I've vowed to cut back on my spending. Of course I'm lying to myself because I have an empty large marine cooler calling me from the basement.

Well under $100 a month. I'm a cheap bastage with too many people to feed in one house on a teacher's salary.:)

But I like what I smoke.:tu

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

Then or now?

Now that my Aristo is full, I am only in maintenance mode so we are talking a box or so a month. So based on that I will say 300 a month going forward although that will be less in the immediate to near future.

I wonder, how much are you spending on cigars? However you think best to describe it - i.e. how much / how often, etc.

I'll get it started. Hopefully my wife wont stumble on this post... ;)

I'm pretty new to it all... I'm in my second year of cigars. I have about 300+ cigars. I find I'm spending 300-400 every 2-3 of months at this point. So, over the course of the year, it probably works out to about 100-200/month. I'm about to drop another 1k on a BIG order. Got a vino and want to continue to stock it with quality smokes.

What's your story?

A B & M I go to keeps track of your spending for discounts and prizes, when I was employed I was dropping about 800+ a month on cigars. My how the times have changed...

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

It really depends on the month and what else needs to be paid. I would love to just spend spend spend as there are many things I would like to have/try.

Some months I have spent only $50, some I have spent over $700.

But I will say that when times are tough, I have stooped to finding stuff to sell so I can buy cigars :r:r At least I am not stealing stuff to support my habbit....yet

I honestly don't think so lol, I smoke maybe 2 per week on average... unless there is a herf then its upto the company I am keeping and how long it goes for. Figure 800 a month on average is 4 good boxes thats 100 sticks... somehow it doesn't add up. The gnomes started taking cigars instead of underpants!

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

well... I could answer this about pipes

now, not including the occasional pipe purchase :r

I spend anywhere from 0-maybe $100 a month on tobacco. In the last 30 days maybe $150. In the 60 or so days before that, 0

And thats what its all about, and hell, IMO 100.00 a month can buy a good deal of my favorite blends. I only spend more because Cubao and 601 blues don't have 2nds.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

in my case,
i never bought my cigar using my fix salary.

lucky i got part time job as designer/wedding photographer... and normally i spend around 20% from my profit... say for one job i get around $1000..then i'll spend $200 for cigars...

saying that.. i dun have lot of cigars... coz for nc they will coast me around $25-$50 per stick... and for cc...$30-$70 perstick...

still..people around me keep saying that i'm overspend for my cigar...because why? normally for a complete meal..for luch..just cost you aroud $5-$7 and the big mac meal set will cost you $11.85..so just go figure...

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

The amount changes month to month and depends on what I'm looking for or trying to re-stock. Don't drink, so what would you spend in the bars every weekend I spend on cigars:banger

I bought a tin of the 2008 Christmas cheer last week only because the 2009 came out and that 2008 tin was the last one at my B&M. Before that I haven't bought anything for myself since March or April. At that time I spent maybe $200 in tobacco.

After this post I'm wondering why I don't smoke pipes more :hm

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

It may appear that way, would you pass on purchasing 2 1/2 boxes of Anejo's and 1 Box of Opus Double Corona's?? I do spend more during Oct, Nov and Dec.:D:D:D

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

Since I work a second job to pay for the cigars I buy, My wife doesn't care what I spend. If I lose that second job I'm screwed and will probably have to give smoking up or smoke drugstore cigars, what a nightmare to even think about.:ss

I didn't buy any since June and in the last week I am up to $1100. I think it is time to hibernate again.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

About 300$ per 4 months. I smoke about 2 cigars per week. Just enough to enjoy and not overdo it. I like to savor for a cigar, rather then have one each day. Just my opinion.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

I think I spent.... 200$ this past year.

Breaks down to 16$ a month. No joke.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

If I had to guess - I'd say about $100 per week on average throughout the year. :ss
