What do you mean by affordable - by the box?

PeteSB75 · 01-05-2010, 08:17 AM

My Fiancee and I set aside part of each week's money for personal use, so most of my part of that goes to buying cigars, which she sometime steals

I generally buy boxes in the $4-5 a stick area, but occasionally save up longer and splurge on a nicer box, in the $8-10 range. Only a few times have I spent more, before she was around... I think I've managed to convince her that we should get a very nice box for smoking one every anniversary, but I can't quite sell her on the Cohiba Sig VI Gran Reserva

Affordable by the box, to me, is what a box of something that I want costs. Meaning, if I really like that cigar enough to want a whole box of it I'll splurge if necessary. Now that keeps me from buying a lot of boxes that I would really like to have because my money tree ain't growing real fast. But generally when I buy a box it lasts me a couple of years anyway.

That being said, I usually try to wait until I can get 15-25% off before making that higher dollar, to me, purchase. It does help take the sting off a little.

I don't know if that is what you were looking for or not, Rev, but it works for me. I think.

I was just letting my mind wander after seeing a couple other discussions and wanted to start a thread to explore it a bit.

I guess it was more curiosity in "What do you do?" type of vein.

So, what works for you is a good thing.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
