Hard to buy less weed...

i know plasma here in wi if you live in a city that has a plasma bank brings in 40-60 a week if you go twice depending on what their giving for visits, that helped me before my body rejected getting the blood back in. and my veins are a hassle so it became a hassle. As far as budgeting a lot of places have great deals sometimes you can pick up good sticks or sample packs of 20 or so for 39- 59 dollars and free fall auctions sometimes you can pick up a 10er for 25 so u get a box for 50.Since I work for a non profit my cigar buying goes pick up some good stuff on sale or when its a good price beit a 5er here or there or 10er than get the budget lesser smokes or deals to smoke daily when I feel the need to. For the little over a year I have been in this hobby I have been able to keep anywhere to 100-400 cigars that way.

Re: Budgeting?
 

I'm unemployed right now so most of the cigars I purchase are from the irresistible deals that pop up occasionally, most under $20.

I start flight school/college in January so we'll see what happens then. I don't think I'll change my habits as I'll only have a small income coming from the VA monthly for "housing allowance" which is basically cash in pocket as I'm staying with my father for those 2 years since he's close to the school.

I need to put as much of that as possible into my savings so I think I'll still be on a very tight cigar budget. I only smoke 2-3 times a week anyway.

I'd like to get a part time job while in school but I need to focus 100% of my time on training. Going to be no easy task.

My biggest wish is that we had a B & M that was legit, the only places we have that cell legit cigars are just head shops that sell bongs and bowls, always feel awkward in there, and all the employees are just stoners/ hipsters.

Re: Budgeting?
 

Im with these guys....When I started smoking cigars I did not need a budget. I was a 1/2 a week I would pick them up on friday and smoke them that weekend.

Two things happened short time after that, (1) I began to really love cigars, thanks to Litto Gomez. (2) My income took a dramatic increase. My smoking increased to 2/3 a day nice stuff most of the time. No budget needed making good money.
Unfortunately nothing stays the same now income reduced by drastic amounts but I still love to smoke 1/2 a day. I can no longer smoke premiums every day so I go for the $1-3 smokes, bundles, cbid, with a premium or 2 on the weekends.
In order to not hurt the family budget I look for ways to make an extra buck here and there. Like moving freinds, scaping old junk, stuff I can due on an weekend afternoon etc...it adds up quick.
There are alot of econimical smokes out there some great, some not. I know, I have smoke hundreds of them and will smoke humdreds more.

Be creative.

Re: Budgeting?
 

...and you're there how often per week? :r

Re: Budgeting?
 

Have you checked out the Havana house in penfield? I haven't but i hear there selection isn't bad.

Re: Budgeting?
 

Haven't been there in a few months... rarely go. I haven't purchased anything since august and it was all online. So probably July was my last visit.

I forgot about that, a buddy of mine from work was talking about it a few weeks ago, might have to make the trip out there from RIT.

Re: Budgeting?

Re: Budgeting?

Re: Budgeting?

Re: Budgeting?
 

Yea. Grew up in penfield. Went to mcquaid. Now I'm at ohio state.

Re: Budgeting?
 

When did you graduate from McQ? I have a few friends that went there.

Re: Budgeting?
 

2008. Who do you know? It's a pretty small school so I might know them even if they didn't graduate in 08

Re: Budgeting?
 

I am acquainted with August Wright, Adam Hecht grew up next door (Was McQ until 9th or 10th grade), I know William Markert relatively well (Sr this year).

Re: Budgeting?
 

August Wright is the only one that sounds familiar and I didn't know him that well, just saw him around school.
