This Is Expensive!

Cigars are a cheap hobby. One of these competition aerobatics models is equivalent in price to your entire collection, and you're only one mistake or broken part missed during a preflight check away from loosing the whole thing. Travel costs to district competitions are a large factor as well.

its not how much money you spend on cigars but the people you meet along the way down the slope

We have experienced financial difficulties as of late. Health insurance has skyrocketed, gas of course is expensive along wih no wage increase at my job in 4 years. My wife's work has gotten scarce as well. This results in a moratorium on cigars, so to speak. I don't need them and can do without them. I've cut way back on purchases and what few I have bought lately have been economy smokes. I've also cut back on my weekly smokes since bills come first. So, I know exactly what you mean.

You think that hobby's bad, try getting wrapped up in this on a regular basis. Lots of coin there ...
