How much do you spend on cigars?

bsmokin · 10-25-2009, 07:21 PM

Lately, I have been feeling that I am the only shmuck out there spending what feels like a fortune on cigars. Of course, I realize this isn't the case... many people here clearly have MUCH LARGER and more impressive collections, which were only had through dropping several pretty pennies. But, still... I wonder, how much are you spending on cigars? However you think best to describe it - i.e. how much / how often, etc.

I'll get it started. Hopefully my wife wont stumble on this post...

I'm pretty new to it all... I'm in my second year of cigars. I have about 300+ cigars. I find I'm spending 300-400 every 2-3 of months at this point. So, over the course of the year, it probably works out to about 100-200/month. I'm about to drop another 1k on a BIG order. Got a vino and want to continue to stock it with quality smokes.

What's your story?

I spend what I can afford.

In the last year, way too much but I have only bought two boxes since June, I am a recovering cigar buyer.

I don't spend money on cigars ... I lavish money on cigars

I won't tell my wife. What makes you think I would tell you?

DPD6030 · 10-25-2009, 07:41 PM

Too much

Biglizard1 · 10-25-2009, 07:42 PM

I try to spend what I can afford, some months more than others... but never a set amount or average for any given month.

kelmac07 · 10-25-2009, 07:44 PM

My wife says "Way Too Much!!"

smokin5 · 10-25-2009, 07:44 PM

More than I should, less than I can afford.

10-25-2009, 07:44 PM

More than I thought I would!!

poriggity · 10-25-2009, 07:46 PM

Most months, its about $100-$200/month. Wife doesn't ask, so I don't tell.

First 'real' answer. Thanks for the honesty.

I wasn't sure about asking this sort of thing... and I guess I maybe shouldn't have. I guess it may be almost like asking how much money someone makes or something.... but I don't think so. Because no matter how much money people make, they all spend it very differently. If you understand that, I don't see what the big deal is actually divulging a real amount.

Smokin Gator · 10-25-2009, 07:51 PM

Not as much as my wife does on clothes...

I would say on average about $300 a month...

s15driftking · 10-25-2009, 07:52 PM

i probably spend under 120.00 per month. which i think is pretty good considering i hang out at a local B&M a lot!
