What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

About 10x what I can afford. And I will go over it by about 1000 percent.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I'm pretty sure whatever number I come up with, it'll get blown out of the water about the same time the third big sale of cc's is posted.:(
But, it's an investment, right? Can't do any worse than my 401K.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

well, i m going to cuba in 1 week...so i usually spend 100cdn to stock up. but beside that probely another 500.00 through out the year....so i guess around 1500 cdn...wow i have some problems

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I'm going to try to keep it smaller this year.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I don't really think out a budget....if something that I want comes along, I will buy it if I can afford it.....and won't if I can't. :)

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

bought in the neighborhood of 40+ boxes this year. Will probably tone it down a bit until I get dramatically more storage ... not like I've ever let that stop me in the past.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Same here. :tu

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

thats true to...what i can afford i will buy.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Not a damn penny :(

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

What I can afford, but since I'm making more I probably will be able to spend a bit more.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

If I want it I'll get it. Either way the wife has the last laugh.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Pretty much my philosophy about everything I buy.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Tight is my middle name.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Same here boys:)

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I have approx. 5 mule runs scheduled....

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

So far, it looks like my 2009 cigar budget will be: Not a whole helluva lot. :(

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

More than i should spend and less than I want to spend.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

WUSS:r:r:r

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

:r:ze ok maybe some cheap cigars, but thats it I need to save $$$ for the move.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

It's hard to say, I don't set a budget, I just buy what I want. I usually end up spending some of my disposable income on Firearms, and I am buying a new house, so I have no idea what I will be able to spend on cigars this year. I will let you know on December 31st. I can say I will probably spend more than I should.:bh

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Like Ice Hog said; if I can I will. I have a bunch of financial goals this year; so it all comes down to the budget.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

A large chunk will be spent on a new Aristocrat, hopefully by mid summer. But I will watch for stuff to come up and if I can afford it at the time I will pull the trigger. If not, there will be other chances.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

i need to find a nice tower now

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I don't keep track so even 12/31/09 won't help me!!
Only thing that helps is opening the cabinet doors :D

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

:tpd: That's about the gist of it! I keep telling myself: "No mas" but then another "super deal" comes along that I can't in my right mind pass up. Maybe I need to be in my wrong mind more!

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I'm a new father to twin boys (2 weeks old), so my cigar budget will be much smaller this year. It's worth it, though! (I haven't had time to smoke since they were born, anyway.)

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Just hope it is more then my 2008 cigar budget :)

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Here's my score...find the cheapest cigar you can find in any given place in the world..look for the cigar that is $1 more expensive....and you'll '' be surprised how well she'll smoke...dub

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

This option, with a slight edit:

"Not a damn penny, (but) I am (not) giving up cigars."

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

well if thing keep going like they are my cigar budget will be a pack of Swisher Sweets and thats all :pu

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Pretty much the same thing I do. If I have a little extra cash laying around, I'll go ahead and place an order.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

That say exactly my feelins as wel, Nicely put icehog3!:ss

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

TKF, struck (tobii keyboard flu)! That says exactly my feelings as well. Nicely put icehog3!

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

A new Aristocrat...fine furniture does not count.

As for me $100-$200 a month, all for the troops this year.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Based on what I spent this year I could see spending $3k easy again this year. But that all depends on what sales come up and things like that... I am always a sucker for the rare Fuente stuff so I will get more of that and then I need quite a few more CCs to be completely happy. But I can't go too crazy cuz I have a few big ticket items I need to get this year too.

And if you think about it $3k is only $250 a month... :D:ss

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Thats kinda how I roll as well, I dont have a hard fast number. And lucky these days I only buy boxes to replace boxes I just finished smoking, not a lot of free space in the Aristocrat.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

Nice when it is full like that, eh Bryan? :)

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

whatever I can.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I'm always trying to be conservative and I always fail--I just can;t resist a good deal on my favs-

Oh well -no minks or diamonds for the wifey............................again

BAHAHAHAHAHA

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

So far $0. We will see how long that lasts.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

We got ourselves a comedian. :D

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

probably about what I can afford, maybe 20-30 dollars a month... every other month.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I'd like to pull a Joed and manage to not spend a dime on cigars all year. But I can't see that happening, not with the likes of Mike and Tom around me. Bad farking influence those two are!

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

:tpd::r

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I normally save up for the holiday sales. doesn't make sense to me to buy cigars at a higher price when they are consistently cheaper for 2 months out of the year.

I have one box on my radar that i will purchase sometime in Feb. but other than that we'll see what this year brings.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I buy based on space not budget. If there is space in the cabinet I buy, if there isn't, well, I buy then too.

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

probably 0

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

There is no budget for cigars that is to small as long as Sailkat Approves:r:r

Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?
 

I have no idea what my budget will be. It all depends on how often my wife lets me go out and play with Joe and the other fellas. :r


Actually my game plan is not to spend any less than I did in 2008, just more wisely on better sticks.
