How much do you spend on cigars? - Page 2

I put my response as "What I can afford", in lieu of saying "It ain't anyone else's business". Not intending to offend, just putting in my 2 cents.

i dont think his intent was to see who the big spenders were and/or for people to brag. I think the intent was to see how much people deem apropriate per month in general.

Some people said 300.00 per month, for me that would be out of the question because i could not bring myself to spend 300 on cigars per month... and stay married

I absolutely understand, Bobby....but I still don't feel the need to divulge that in a thread.

Do you have a wife? are you worried that she is reading it???

That was purely a joke, please take it as that!!!! I don't know about your personal life and I intend not to pry!

My wife and I have a great arangement, she doesn't nag me about what or when I buy cigar wise and I don't ask her about her knitting. She knits with a lot of 'high' end yarns and has a stash, I'm guessing in the thousands of dollars... (she just finished a one skein hat out of $75.00 wool from Japan)

Yes! Exactly! Thank you. Put another way, wanted to see if others were as crazy hooked as I am. Put yet another way, I was looking for others to help me feel better about my spending too damn much on cigars....

Not a big deal man. Sometimes on this forum you must explain exactly what you want to know and why you are asking. Its important because there are people here that troll around and ask worthless questions either looking to stir the pot and/or start scuffless.

we are all hooked and im sure we all feel that we are spending more than we should or just about there! The best way to have your "buck" extend further would be to check out the daily deals that exist on most major sites!!! Save yourself some cash and try some good smokes!! or just buy what you like and enjoy them!!

Thats way too much to spend on that GyV green & gamey!!

To OP, The amount/month veries widely, depending on overtime,bills, and what I can hide from the wife. prolly about $40-50 bucks a month on average. Some times I can sneak a stick or three from the local B&M.

What do they say??? It isn't the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean?

Seriously though, spending varies from month to month, some months I buy almost nothing except for a few singles from the B&M or a sampler or two online (October/September/August) other months (July/June/May) I buy a several boxes, but usually there's a line I do not cross no matter what and that's about $175 unless something very interesting catches my eye. November and December present problems though because of deals and discounts for the holidays.

I don't know and I don't care. If I really knew, I'd probably feel guilty but since I don't know, I'm good

Ok since there is a lack of answers, I will shamefully say that I spent about $4000 in the last year. However, I have cut back drastically and have only bought 2 boxes since June.
