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.

It "IS" A Slippery Slope, Isn't It, Brother?

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

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

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)

maverickdrinker · 10-02-2010, 11:46 AM

I know but won't acknowledge as the first step to admit that you have a problem. I don't have a problem....

GOOD LORD guys... I don't think I've spent $500.00 in 2 years, and that includes humidors. That includes humidors and other accessories.

I generally smoke 2-3 a week now. There was a 10 month span where I couldn't smoke due to my anxiety.

I always hunt for deals and due my research before hand to make sure what I'm getting is quality. I find myself spending an average of $3.00 a cigar, and I got some pretty impressive inventory. Though a lot of the higher end stock was gifted to me. It's great having friends.
