How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Lately, I have been feeling that I am the only shmuck out there spending what feels like a fortune on cigars. Of course, I realize this isn't the case... many people here clearly have MUCH LARGER and more impressive collections, which were only had through dropping several pretty pennies. But, still... 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?

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

I spend what I can afford. :)

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

In the last year, way too much but I have only bought two boxes since June, I am a recovering cigar buyer.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

I don't spend money on cigars ... I lavish money on cigars

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

You are so frugal...no wonder I love you so much.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

$1 !! Oh wait, wrong game?

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

I won't tell my wife. What makes you think I would tell you? ;)

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Too much :D

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

I try to spend what I can afford, some months more than others... but never a set amount or average for any given month.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

My wife says "Way Too Much!!"

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

More than I should, less than I can afford.:)

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

More than I thought I would!!

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Most months, its about $100-$200/month. Wife doesn't ask, so I don't tell.

Enough. Too much probably haha

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

First 'real' answer. Thanks for the honesty.

I wasn't sure about asking this sort of thing... and I guess I maybe shouldn't have. I guess it may be almost like asking how much money someone makes or something.... but I don't think so. Because no matter how much money people make, they all spend it very differently. If you understand that, I don't see what the big deal is actually divulging a real amount.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Not as much as my wife does on clothes...

I would say on average about $300 a month...

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

i probably spend under 120.00 per month. which i think is pretty good considering i hang out at a local B&M a lot!

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

1. I don't know you
2. I don't live with you
3. I don't know your wife ;)

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

I put my response as "What I can afford", in lieu of saying "It ain't anyone else's business". Not intending to offend, just putting in my 2 cents.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

i dont think his intent was to see who the big spenders were and/or for people to brag. I think the intent was to see how much people deem apropriate per month in general.

Some people said 300.00 per month, for me that would be out of the question because i could not bring myself to spend 300 on cigars per month... and stay married :r:r:r

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

thats what Charlie sheen thought in Major League.... :r

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

I absolutely understand, Bobby....but I still don't feel the need to divulge that in a thread. :)

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Do you have a wife? are you worried that she is reading it???

:r:r:r

That was purely a joke, please take it as that!!!! I don't know about your personal life and I intend not to pry!

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Yes! Exactly! Thank you. Put another way, wanted to see if others were as crazy hooked as I am. Put yet another way, I was looking for others to help me feel better about my spending too damn much on cigars.... ;s

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

My wife and I have a great arangement, she doesn't nag me about what or when I buy cigar wise and I don't ask her about her knitting. She knits with a lot of 'high' end yarns and has a stash, I'm guessing in the thousands of dollars... (she just finished a one skein hat out of $75.00 wool from Japan)

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

PM me with a figure, I'll divulge it in a thread on your behalf.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Not a big deal man. Sometimes on this forum you must explain exactly what you want to know and why you are asking. Its important because there are people here that troll around and ask worthless questions either looking to stir the pot and/or start scuffless.

we are all hooked and im sure we all feel that we are spending more than we should or just about there! The best way to have your "buck" extend further would be to check out the daily deals that exist on most major sites!!! Save yourself some cash and try some good smokes!! or just buy what you like and enjoy them!!

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

I spend too much. There you have it....sorry if I came across as rude.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

and by too much he means 3,000 a month on Gurkhas alone!!!

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Rumors of my Gurkha purchases are greatly exaggerated. ;)

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

2,750?

sorry, back to topics!!!

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

I spend more on hookers if it makes you feel any better.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?

It's a large boat with a lot of passengers. :r

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

That's not a real answer. ;)

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

^^^ Come on in Peter, the water is warm in this thread!!!

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

i have spent approximately $4 so far..mhmm...I'm awesome like that...:p everything else I have been blessed enough to get for free :)

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Cigar Noob
Thats way too much to spend on that GyV green & gamey!!

To OP, The amount/month veries widely, depending on overtime,bills, and what I can hide from the wife. prolly about $40-50 bucks a month on average. Some times I can sneak a stick or three from the local B&M.

What do they say??? It isn't the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean?

Seriously though, spending varies from month to month, some months I buy almost nothing except for a few singles from the B&M or a sampler or two online (October/September/August) other months (July/June/May) I buy a several boxes, but usually there's a line I do not cross no matter what and that's about $175 unless something very interesting catches my eye. November and December present problems though because of deals and discounts for the holidays.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Not as much as I would like to spend . :banger

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

:tpd: Seems Like I Always Agree With You, Mark!:tu

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

your kidding?

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

I don't know and I don't care. If I really knew, I'd probably feel guilty but since I don't know, I'm good :D

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

Ok since there is a lack of answers, I will shamefully say that I spent about $4000 in the last year. However, I have cut back drastically and have only bought 2 boxes since June.

Re: How much do you spend on cigars?
 

NU UH!! $4 for 2 :banger
