where do cigars fall on your priority list?

cigarmonkel · 11-15-2010, 02:20 PM

Well obviously after bills... or at least for some of us

. But do you have any other hobbies or activities that you place before cigars? I never thought i'd see the day where the majority of my extra spending money went to something other then cigars. Now instead of saving up for a box of this or that its saving up for car parts.

At least i've got a pretty decent stash so i can smoke while i attend the next autoX this summer

. Might not come in first but i promise you i'll be the only one baller enough to be smoking a Tat SW reserva while taking hard corners, all i need is to make a classical music mix and find a way to drink my coffee through my helmet.

cigars are not on my priority list. Cigars are "nice to haves" not "need to haves" so get no priority with me.

ditto goes for me

I view cigars as a luxury in my life and not a necessity.

For a few years .... obsession made them pretty darn high on the list.

Now?

A piece of the puzzle in terms of defining "who is me" but a smaller piece than in the past.

I would say this is a good way to describe them. I love my cigars and love to get a hold of anything new but at the end of the day, if they're not in the budget they're not in the budget. I won't jeopardize not making the mortgage or car payments etc to get the latest or greatest release. I could probably stop buying now and be pretty set for a long time to be honest. I always say too that if I ever get into a bind where I need to some quick cash the first things to go will be the cigars and than the bike. I wouldn't be happy about it but at the end of the day a roof over my families head is far more important than a stock pile of cigars.

I got a lot of interests. With that said, the money I spend on cigars doesn't compare to my other hobbies like wristwatch, fountain pens, and clothes. I don't own many of those stuff either. I'm still in the slow process of building up a quality collection. I'm still really young, so I'm looking forward to the long journey and I don't mind the wait.

Cigars are right up there for what commands the most of my budget on a monthly basis, but then again I have no mortgage, car payments or children left at home.

i'm with you...but guns and ammo rank a bit higher...

thebiglebowski · 11-17-2010, 08:47 AM

after all the obvious necessities - food, shelter, clothing, making wifey-poo happy, i'd go...

- music (records, CDs, live shows)
- bourbons
- cigars
- golf
- reading

Bill86 · 11-15-2010, 02:40 PM

I like
knives
beer
bourbon
rum

As far as priorities, after bills and whatnot.
1. Beer (I try everything new I can get my hands on)
2. bourbon/rum (anything new I like to try as long as it's not TOO painfully expensive)
3. Cigars (I do what I can when I have the funds. But the boxes I'm wanting now are QUITE pricey)
4. Knives, I bought a Strider SMF and for me it's about as good as they get. Though someday I want a Microtech Halo III and a XM-18 or 24 Hinderer.

Even though I spend more $$$ on cigars then anything they aren't at the top of my list. Just so happens the first 2 I've pretty much done all the damage I can do.

Cigars are pretty high on my list, sometimes too high.
