Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

i feel the same way. spent alot of money on cigars that i didn't like:(

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

My budget will be whatever I have in my special account at the time that I walk into my local B&M... Usually it is small. I hope to come into some inheritance somehow...

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I plan to slow down this year!

I have smoked so many great cigars this past year, now I know what to stay away from!!!;)

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I am sure I will spend more than I should... but for right now I am going to back off a bit until I get a couple of guns I am looking for.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Many other things take priority over me having cigars.

When I can I will, when I can't, well, I can't.

Makes it simple. :)

:tpd:

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I hope to spend roughly 10x what I have been spending...

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I think the beginning of '09 will have to consist of me smoking more than I buy as I will definitely need more room to buy and just buying another storage device is out of the question. I bought a cabinet to eliminate having a boat load of desktops, well the cab got full so now I have a full cabinet and a full desktop so my goal is to smoke the much needed space rather than spend more money on another means of storage. As far as budget goes, well taht all depends on how well business is in '09.:confused:

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Add me to this list...

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I say under 1000 now but I am sure it will go well above that by the end of 2009.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Budget? I don't have a budget for cigars! Problem is that my non-cigar budget keeps messing with the real budget!

Actually, my wife thinks I took this job and came to this wonderful country to pay off debt and pay for her new house. We all know the truth is that I came here so that I can afford to buy cigars anytime I please and as much as I please!!! Ha!

Seriously though - two pretty full humidors here with me. So I have to smoke those a little emptier before refilling. But when I do, I am going to be a little more picky on what I buy now.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

:tpd:

I don't buy for the sake of buying. It has to be something I really want and if it's a good deal that makes it even better. Once I decide if I want it or not then I decide if I have the money. :D

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

:tpd: And I usually can't afford it. :D

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

:tpd: Unfortunately

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

If I have room in my storage I'll buy some smokes. I was thinking about limiting myself to about one box a month unless we get some more of those CRAZY deals.

This year I have a couple of good things going my way to help me save money and hopefully I stay employed while this economy keeps getting worse. If I do go unemployed then no purchases.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I probably spend more then I expect (or want to) spend anyway. Cigars ain't a hobby, it's an addiction.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

No budget - I don't think I want to know what I really spend on cigars.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

No budget necessarily, but my goal is to keep the purchases down to replacing what gets smoked on a one-for-one basis. My humidors are pretty full and I'm retired now without the income I used to have, so it's time for some moderation.


Ask me in a year how this works out. :r

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

:tpd: I like this philosophy as establishing a budget for a discretional item like cigars, at least for me, would be arbitrary at best.

Mark needs a vino? :r

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I will be content with one box of habanos this year. I am blowing cigar money for my other hobby which is collecting Civil War letters/relics

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Im not really planning on buying much this year, maybe a stick or 2 on a whim but I got toooo many. With 3 humis full I got a good year, year and a half of smokin

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I'm going to try to get back to a box or two per month. I'm making my final debt push; so I can't go crazy. Yet, when all the debt is gone the debit card will be on fire! ;)

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Got plenty but not enough, Vin :r

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I will take the "over"....anyone? ;) :r

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Less than the box a month I had been doing. Between 1 and 2 thousand a year can get you well set up.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Well since my budget is far closer to 0$ than 1000$, that's where I put it.

Wedding and starting a life are gonna take priority this year :(.... damn women...

EDIT:: woops didn't see there was an under 1000 vote :D... I can read... honest.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I don't have a budget either. I buy as I want, but space will be the major constraint this year. My cabinet is full.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I hear ya brother. I've managed to sneak a couple in since my girls were born but didn't get to have one for at least three weeks. I did get one in last night at about 10:00 though.


Edit: And Congratulations!!

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

uhh... just about every spare penny i have... but judging by my collegiate condition, thats about two boxes

stearns

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

That's a really hard question because I don't really count what I spend on cigars or fishing tackle (my other passion).....

I put 3K-5K, but in a realistic world, I will probably spend more like 6K-10K, especially if I go forward with the walk-in plans.

In 2 weeks, I'll probably be spending at least $1000-$2000 when I go to Cuba. I do have a 2K budget limit because that's all the cash I'm bringing for cigars, and I'm really only a loud to bring back 4 boxes between my fiancé and I:rolleyes:.

My problem, like a lot of other people here is that I have no more room and my next step in a walk-in if I want more sticks.... I tend to smoke and stock up when I get room....

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Another guy with a walk-in...Steve, I can't wait to go shopping there!!!

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Ditto. I never buy if I can't afford it right then and there.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Hope work picks up there are some really great cigars out i want to get and no dough!!!

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Under $1000.00 for me. The income fell some with wife taking a different job, so we have to tighten the ole belt a little.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I am thinking that when I am in Cancun I might blow some money!! There are always reasons to buy more though!! :)

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I do the same, however, sometimes I spot something I don't want to pass up and buy it when I shouldn't have! Those are the purchases I try to be home to pick up and they disappear never to be seen by the wife!

Mike :ss

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I think this year I will probably spend as much or more than last year but I guarantee you it will be on a smaller number of sticks.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Ahhh, quality not quantity :D

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

less than $500 dollars... I hope :hn

I'll probably spend more on pipes this year (hell, I've already spend about 300 on pipe stuff in 2009)

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

This is the year of great deals, but even so, I will be scrupulous.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

That's me, too, Dave!:tu

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

You got it.
:ss

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I'm going to limit myself to one box a quarter...*crosses fingers*
