I'm w/ you on that, well said!

Good advice, Chris.

I buy all my cigars on Tom's credit cards

I started buying higher end cigars after I stopped drinking and I cut that budget in 1/2. I havent been buying much in the past two years since my girlfriend went back to school, and we have a wedding to pay for. Luckily I am well stocked for the next couple years.

I have enough smokes that I probably wouldn't have to buy another cigar for 10 years and all I have is about the size of an end table humidor.

I know the feeling! My fiance has been hinting with Tiffany & Co for months! Rofl, but she is letting me get a couple boxes of high end smokes for my birthday

I have spent near 1k in the 7 months I've been smoking cigars, the $50 worth of singles or 5 packs here and there add up quick!

I am not crazy enough to add it all up, but its a fun relaxing hobby and you can't put a price on that. But my wife can.

...and they can remember "stuff" that occurred 30 yrs ago too (for some reason or another).

I try hard not to think of what I spend on cigars but It is alot of money. I would guess that it costs me more than my car payment per month. I have about 600 cigars between my humidors. I smoke 2-3 per day so it does get expensive.

Records? I don't have no stinking records.

e-man67 · 11-03-2010, 01:45 PM

Some people top that on one order (several times per year)...I ain't one of them (sure wish I was)...but I spend my share.

yourchoice · 11-03-2010, 01:50 PM

I don't know, and I don't want to know!

Seriously, I never buy unless I can afford to.

I was just perusing some sites considering a purchase and thought, "I don't know if I can afford the room in my humidor." Made me chuckle as I thought of my post in this thread as it wasn't what I originally meant.

I've only been smoking since 2007. Pretty sure I'm up to about $80.22 roughly.......

Fixed for factual sake.

Probably somewhere around the $3000.00- $4000.00 range. That is for the 6 or so years I have been smoking and I have only spent about $400.00 this year. I realized I was continually buying cigars even though around 40% of the smokes in my possession are ones I haven't tried yet. It made no sense to keep buying new cigars to try when I already had some to try. The $400.00 I have spent this year are on my everyday smokes.

I think that was similar to where I'm coming from too. I kept trying new smokes I liked and so instead of buying a 5'er, I'd get a box because it was so much cheaper per cigar. Now I have boxes of cigars that I like, but don't smoke regularly, and don't have room for the boxes of smokes that I do like to smoke on a regular basis, lol.

I think after this initial dive into the hobby my spending habits will slow down and even out significantly.

At least I hope that's what happens and not the exact opposite

lol

I've only been smoking since Dec of 2008. Looks like cigars and accessories over a 22 month period total in the neighborhood of...$14_______

Bill86 · 11-03-2010, 04:52 PM

I really don't want to know how much I've spent. I've been smoking seriously only for about 4 months? But it's pretty massive.
