What is your 2009 Cigar Budget?

01-02-2009, 04:08 PM

So with the economy in the crapper andpotential concern over guarding your pennies what do you think your cigar budget (just sticks not accessories) will be this year and do you really think you will stick to it.

About 10x what I can afford. And I will go over it by about 1000 percent.

I'm pretty sure whatever number I come up with, it'll get blown out of the water about the same time the third big sale of cc's is posted.

But, it's an investment, right? Can't do any worse than my 401K.

well, i m going to cuba in 1 week...so i usually spend 100cdn to stock up. but beside that probely another 500.00 through out the year....so i guess around 1500 cdn...wow i have some problems

01-02-2009, 04:16 PM

I'm going to try to keep it smaller this year.

I don't really think out a budget....if something that I want comes along, I will buy it if I can afford it.....and won't if I can't.

bought in the neighborhood of 40+ boxes this year. Will probably tone it down a bit until I get dramatically more storage ... not like I've ever let that stop me in the past.

Not a damn penny

01-02-2009, 04:23 PM

What I can afford, but since I'm making more I probably will be able to spend a bit more.

Ragin Cajun · 01-02-2009, 04:28 PM

If I want it I'll get it. Either way the wife has the last laugh.

borndead1 · 01-02-2009, 04:42 PM

So far, it looks like my 2009 cigar budget will be: Not a whole helluva lot.

68TriShield · 01-02-2009, 04:43 PM

More than i should spend and less than I want to spend.
