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.

Scott, is this the part where we have the interventionalist conversation about "quality vs. quantity"?

Using arbitrary figures of course, you could spend 2 grand on 500.00 hookers 4 times, or 50 bucks..... er... hell, nevermind.

elderboy02 · 10-25-2009, 10:45 PM

I don't even want to guess

10-25-2009, 10:47 PM

Not as much as I used to spend. At one point it was like $500 a month.

Kreth · 10-25-2009, 10:49 PM

More than the wife approves of, less than I'd like to.
Lately I've been buying almost exclusively from cbid. You can score some great deals with patience and good timing.

How much do you spend on cigars?

Depends on which vendor you are asking about!!!

duckmanco · 10-26-2009, 12:58 AM

since april 09 its gone waaayy down, and it was mainly because I just didn't want to support the tax in anyway possible (and I still think the other shoe has yet to drop). But that attitude only lasted so long, what with new smokes coming out all the time. But I kept the frugality of it going, and have since really gotten into some amazing cheap smokes. So:

Prior SCHIP - sky was the limit, some months were multiple (upwards of 2-5) boxes anywhere from a min. of $100.00 and a max of $300.00 once

Post SCHIP - most months $0.00 with a general max of $50.00

I have come to really enjoy the thrill of the hunt for amazing cheap smokes... especially when you learn that most of the stuff you love is made from Nicaraguan Aganorsa leaf anyway.... lot to be had of that for wicked cheap.

smokin5 · 10-26-2009, 06:42 PM

This question got me curious, so I went back over my records and was pleasantly surprised at the result.
Since 1/1/09, I've only spent a total of about $1,400.

Oh, plus the $60 I'm about to spend on 2 Padilla Commerative Samplers (4@ of Padilla 1932, 1948 & 1968 Robustos for $29.99 at Cigars Int'l, using the free shipping code).

KDKLOSS · 10-26-2009, 07:50 PM

Stocked up a new Cabinet and a vino. Averaged 400 a month over the last 5 months doing it. Both are now full so I've vowed to cut back on my spending. Of course I'm lying to myself because I have an empty large marine cooler calling me from the basement.

Starscream · 10-26-2009, 07:53 PM

Well under $100 a month. I'm a cheap bastage with too many people to feed in one house on a teacher's salary.

But I like what I smoke.
