I think the thread was more about your list of hobbies rather than over all spending

Guns
Cigars
Electronics
Misc

My priorities list (by time spent, not money) for hobbies looks something like this:

1) Video Games
2) Finding new music
3) Stock Market
4) Cigars
5) Scotch

My priorities list (by money) for hobbies looks something like this:

1) Stock Market
2) Video Games
3) Cigars
4) Finding new music (I find new bands on youtube. The ones that stick with me, I support)
5) Scotch

My #1 hobby expense also helps my future! :D

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.

At least i've got a pretty decent stash so i can smoke while i attend the next autoX this summer :banger. 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 a "lie-to-have-around" thing, but they are not a necessity. When I have disposable income (income that comes in which is not a part of the normal budget), cigars used to rank in the top three (fishing/hunting, books, cigars). Now, the disposable income is going to other things, like fixing up the new property. It has been 3 months since I bought a cigar, even stopping in at the B&Ms I haven't bought one.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

I'm definitely into cigars quite a bit. However, the one hobby that takes priority over them is safari hunting in Africa. If I was faced with the ultimatum of never smoking a single cigar for the rest of my days but got to go on a 28-day, full-bag safari to Tanzania or Zambia, it'd be "Bye, bye cigars".

You guys are definitely getting a bit long in the tooth. Only one person said "sex." :D:D

Yes, I have hobbies, cigars happens to be one of them.

I've had many hobbies over my life . At this time in my life , cigars are my hobby and have been for quite a few years . I always thought I would get tired of them or find something else but this is it for me now . My Collecting of sports cards and beer steins has lessened over the years and was always kind of lonely . With cigars I get relaxation , camaraderie and more enjoyment . So I would say cigars are 3rd on my priority list after Family and work . :2 Nice thread by the way .

Not very high since my new found fondness (in the last 6 months) for Single Malt Scotch. I try to taste everything I can get my hands on and that has been chewing up my budget a bit. I cannot get enough of the stuff.

I only smoke a couple cigars a week at most. Actually, the humidor has seen fuller days. I think I have 15-20 left and I am out. I really need to stock up when I hit bonus this year.

I don't really do much else unless it's time with the family. I rarely smoke during the day when I could be spending time. I usually wait until the kids are in bed and the wife is watching her shows. After being out at sea for several years it really puts priorities in perspective.

I like a good cigar, but in order of enjoyment:
Wine
Beer
Food
Cigar

Now above all I love a good cup of coffee or tea, but after all is said and done, a good cigar can fininsh the night off right...

Davidoff!!
