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...

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!

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

More than I should, but less than I want. Luckily, I'm maxed out on space. :)

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...

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

Pipe smoking is way cheaper. Say if you wanted to have 4 pipes (1 aromatic, 1 english, 1 VaPer, 1 VA) a pound of tobacco lasts me a long time. Figure at around $30 for a pound, after your pipes are purchased your cost is very minimal. My only pipe expense monthly is buying tins for the lottery on here.

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

I think you have spent more in the last month than I have made...

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

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 
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.
