I'd like to pull a Joed and manage to not spend a dime on cigars all year. But I can't see that happening, not with the likes of Mike and Tom around me. Bad farking influence those two are!

I normally save up for the holiday sales. doesn't make sense to me to buy cigars at a higher price when they are consistently cheaper for 2 months out of the year.

I have one box on my radar that i will purchase sometime in Feb. but other than that we'll see what this year brings.

I buy based on space not budget. If there is space in the cabinet I buy, if there isn't, well, I buy then too.

I have no idea what my budget will be. It all depends on how often my wife lets me go out and play with Joe and the other fellas.


Actually my game plan is not to spend any less than I did in 2008, just more wisely on better sticks.

My budget will be whatever I have in my special account at the time that I walk into my local B&M... Usually it is small. I hope to come into some inheritance somehow...

I am sure I will spend more than I should... but for right now I am going to back off a bit until I get a couple of guns I am looking for.

Many other things take priority over me having cigars.

When I can I will, when I can't, well, I can't.

Makes it simple.

Default Re: What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?

I think the beginning of '09 will have to consist of me smoking more than I buy as I will definitely need more room to buy and just buying another storage device is out of the question. I bought a cabinet to eliminate having a boat load of desktops, well the cab got full so now I have a full cabinet and a full desktop so my goal is to smoke the much needed space rather than spend more money on another means of storage. As far as budget goes, well taht all depends on how well business is in '09.

I say under 1000 now but I am sure it will go well above that by the end of 2009.
