What is your 2009 Cigar Budget? - Page 3

BORIStheBLADE · 01-03-2009, 03:19 PM

If I have room in my storage I'll buy some smokes. I was thinking about limiting myself to about one box a month unless we get some more of those CRAZY deals.

This year I have a couple of good things going my way to help me save money and hopefully I stay employed while this economy keeps getting worse. If I do go unemployed then no purchases.

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, 03:28 PM

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

borndead1 · 01-02-2009, 03:42 PM

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

68TriShield · 01-02-2009, 03:43 PM

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

groogs · 01-02-2009, 03:52 PM

It's hard to say, I don't set a budget, I just buy what I want. I usually end up spending some of my disposable income on Firearms, and I am buying a new house, so I have no idea what I will be able to spend on cigars this year. I will let you know on December 31st. I can say I will probably spend more than I should.

Like Ice Hog said; if I can I will. I have a bunch of financial goals this year; so it all comes down to the budget.

Here's my score...find the cheapest cigar you can find in any given place in the world..look for the cigar that is $1 more expensive....and you'll '' be surprised how well she'll smoke...dub

This option, with a slight edit:

Pat1075 · 01-02-2009, 07:03 PM

whatever I can.

zmancbr · 01-02-2009, 06:46 PM

Based on what I spent this year I could see spending $3k easy again this year. But that all depends on what sales come up and things like that... I am always a sucker for the rare Fuente stuff so I will get more of that and then I need quite a few more CCs to be completely happy. But I can't go too crazy cuz I have a few big ticket items I need to get this year too.

And if you think about it $3k is only $250 a month...

LkyLindy · 01-02-2009, 08:09 PM

I'm always trying to be conservative and I always fail--I just can;t resist a good deal on my favs-

Oh well -no minks or diamonds for the wifey............................again

BAHAHAHAHAHA

Da Klugs · 01-02-2009, 08:22 PM

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.
