How much do you pay for an "everyday" cigar?

CoventryCat86 · 10-26-2008, 09:40 PM

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.
