A large chunk will be spent on a new Aristocrat, hopefully by mid summer. But I will watch for stuff to come up and if I can afford it at the time I will pull the trigger. If not, there will be other chances.

I don't keep track so even 12/31/09 won't help me!!
Only thing that helps is opening the cabinet doors

I'm a new father to twin boys (2 weeks old), so my cigar budget will be much smaller this year. It's worth it, though! (I haven't had time to smoke since they were born, anyway.)

I hear ya brother. I've managed to sneak a couple in since my girls were born but didn't get to have one for at least three weeks. I did get one in last night at about 10:00 though.

Edit: And Congratulations!!

A new Aristocrat...fine furniture does not count.

As for me $100-$200 a month, all for the troops this year.

probably about what I can afford, maybe 20-30 dollars a month... every other month.

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

Maybe Budget wasn't the right word, it was more meant to be what are your spending expectations. I know I picked 3-5 I think I spent a little more than that last year but I was experimenting on the NC side and bought a lot of crappy sticks so I expect to spend less in total buy less but buy better. I am at the point were I am looking for stuff to age for a while (great intention that LOL)

Budget? I don't have a budget for cigars! Problem is that my non-cigar budget keeps messing with the real budget!

Actually, my wife thinks I took this job and came to this wonderful country to pay off debt and pay for her new house. We all know the truth is that I came here so that I can afford to buy cigars anytime I please and as much as I please!!! Ha!

Seriously though - two pretty full humidors here with me. So I have to smoke those a little emptier before refilling. But when I do, I am going to be a little more picky on what I buy now.

DrDubzz · 01-06-2009, 09:40 PM

less than $500 dollars... I hope

I'll probably spend more on pipes this year (hell, I've already spend about 300 on pipe stuff in 2009)
