I like that way of thinking.
What's that 78 cent cigar ??

Ashcan Bill · 10-26-2008, 10:37 AM

My typical everyday cigar falls into a $4-$8 range, so for poll purposes I'll go with $4-$7.

Mugen910 · 10-26-2008, 10:57 AM

I guess it depends on the fx rate.

10-26-2008, 11:15 AM

Well I don't really some everyday, but I would guess somewhere in the $5-10 range. At least, that's where I'm trying to keep it.

troutbreath · 10-26-2008, 11:33 AM

Torano Exodus 1959, b/w $5 & $6, is my go-to smoke. But, I occasionally go higher, so I'm still alright in the 4-7 range.

smokin5 · 10-26-2008, 08:51 PM

Since I average 15 or more cigars a week, I can't be blowin' serious money on the "everyday" smokes. I probably spend $1.25-$1.75 on my afternoon smokes, saving most of the good ones for evenings & weekends.
Thank you, CBid!

I look for relatve values like Oliva brand. High rating,nice pricetag. I guess I'm around $4-7

BirdDok · 10-26-2008, 05:15 PM

I don't have a specific every day cigar, but the ones I smoke regularly are about $4-5 a pop. Some are a tad under $4.

My son however... is happy lighting up Sancho Panza Double Maduro at $3.00 a pop. He could live of those little buggers.

gettysburgfreak · 10-26-2008, 08:38 PM

Since I average about 2-4 cigars per month, I try and buy only higher end stuff allowing me to let them sit.

I fall in this exact category.
Although when I'm at work I smoke a lot of $2.00 stogies such as A. Fuente Curly Head Deluxe Maduro's etc. This is because I'm a FF/Paramedic and can be called out at any moment. I don't mind tossing a $2.00 stogie but a $4-$8 kind of bugs me. At home I'm in the $4-$8 as far as everyday cigar.

Lately, I've been on the high end of the range of this pool, my motto is "Life is too short to smoke cheap cigars."

I do smoke all ranges of cigars but my regulars are on the high end. I don't smoke cigars anywhere near as much as I used to, there are days that I don't smoke one at all.

Da Klugs · 10-26-2008, 09:44 PM

Depends on the day.

The label doesn't apply to my frame of reference. Lunchtime smoke is probably the closest. Ranges from $ 3 to $100. Again it depends on the day.

Typical day... $ 5-7.

SmokeyJoe · 10-26-2008, 10:52 PM

I don't normally smoke EVERYday... but my regular smokes are in the $4 to $7 range.

borndead1 · 11-01-2008, 03:57 AM

I'm still waiting to hear what the $0.78 cigar is.

Me...under 2 bucks. Took me a while to find a decent "spread" of cigars at that price, but they are out there. Smoked quite a few duds along the way.

At the other end, I set my per stick limit at $8, CCs or NCs. As a workin' stiff with a lot of bills, it would be financially irresponsible of me at this time to pay more than $8 for something I am going to light on fire. Truth be told, I haven't found a cigar yet that I thought was worth $20.

Those of you who have not tried them should give the CFO Craffiti a try
It's not a Tat but it's a damn good smoke for $2.
They also have a line that's not listed on thier site called "Magus" $50. for 25
And that is one Good potent smoke!
They don't come wet and young like the #7's

I'm betting there's a very strong correlation between how much you smoke and how much your "everyday" cigars cost.

I can't imagine smoking 4+ a day at $5+ per cigar. That's $7300/year on cigars alone if you smoked four $5/cigar a day.

I'm at about 1 to 2/day and I cringe when I have to toss a $5/cigar unfinished.
