How much I've spent on cigars...

borndead1 · 10-02-2010, 09:54 AM

Been doing some math just out of curiousity. Trying to figure out how much money I've spent on cigars in the past 6 years since I fell down the slope. I can't get an accurate number because 1 CC vendor doesn't keep purchase history records and Famous Smoke Shop purchase history only goes back 2 years. So this is only an approximation and does not include humidors, fridgerdors, or any cigar related stuff, only cigars themselves.

Around $15,000.

That's it? I figure you are doing pretty good.

pektel · 10-02-2010, 10:08 AM

Yeah, I don't keep receipts of the purchases regarding cigars. I don't wanna know.

I am sure my wife could tell you.

relax it's all relative and 15$k isnt that much amortized over 6 years.

a work friend of mine is a fanatical hunter and just bought a "holland and holland" hunting rifle...he wont say exactly what he paid but i think over 6 years it would be about 15$k PER YEAR. beautifull gun tho...i just would never buy one.

At least you enjoyed that $15,000 if you had invested $15,000 in the stock market over the last 6 years you wouldn't have gotten to enjoy it, and all you'd have left is

BAM!!!!
There you go. That's exactly why I have the cigars I do today. It all started with Enron's collapse.
Something smelled fishy in Denmark after that day, to me. Yanked every dollar I had invested.
Lost absolutely nothing. Well except time. But who am I kidding, I will be at work when I die. What
retirement?

Wow... Whats so special about them? Because they are hand made?

Interesting bit from google...

Harris Holland was born in 1806 in London. Although accounts of his background are somewhat sketchy, it is believed that his father was an organ builder, while Harris had a tobacco wholesale business in London. Obviously he was successful, as he was often seen at various pigeon shoots at important London clubs, as well as leasing a grouse moor in Yorkshire.

I know I spent less on cigars this year than I used to spend on golf annually the previous 4-5 years (I gave it up this year due to recurring injuries)
