What is your 2009 Cigar Budget? - Page 2

groogs · 01-02-2009, 04:52 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.

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

That's about the gist of it! I keep telling myself: "No mas" but then another "super deal" comes along that I can't in my right mind pass up. Maybe I need to be in my wrong mind more!

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.)

King James · 01-02-2009, 06:44 PM

Just hope it is more then my 2008 cigar 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

Pretty much the same thing I do. If I have a little extra cash laying around, I'll go ahead and place an order.

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

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

zmancbr · 01-02-2009, 07:46 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...

Thats kinda how I roll as well, I dont have a hard fast number. And lucky these days I only buy boxes to replace boxes I just finished smoking, not a lot of free space in the Aristocrat.
