$$$ spent on Cigars.

[theromulus]

I keep telling myself I have enough I'm not buying anymore for a while. Then I see one that is available that I just have to add to the collection. I don't even want to think about how much I have been spending. It's too much but not enough at the same time.

was doin ok until i srated on c-bid

Let's just say I went from 100 sticks at the end of '05 to over 900 now, averaging around 8.00/stick.

However, there's no way I could sustain this buy rate. For the past two months, I've been stocking the humidors. I'm pretty much set now. I just need to make periodic purchases to replenish stock as I burn through my stash.

I am buying a lot (for aging) but not smoking them, so these don't count...

I am smoking ~3 NCs & 2 cubans a week. I am trying to keep my consumption down to $1500/yr. Wish me luck ......

Ditto RJT......damn!!

I'm avoiding looking at the final count myself. I think my timeing for seriousness matches yours. I think we're likely dollar for dollar although my last purchase prolly pushed me over that edge (damn you all for the slope metaphors... ) Admittedly though I think the initial investment tends to be high while you develop things. I truly and sincerely (yeah right) expect to stabilize my spending patterns. I would think 10 boxes or so of your fav smokes. When I get there. I'm slowing down...

I also have a nice piece of land for sale in Mexico if anyone is interested....!

Since June of 2005 (when I started keeping records) I have spent $1197.00 on Cigars and $520.00 on Humidors.

Seems kinda tacky to talk about it.

Reminds me of when people make sure everyone knows how much the check is when they pick up dinner. My favorite line is, I forgot my glasses in the car, can you read the bill for me. Somehow they had no problem reading the menu though.

i spend around 200-250 or month, but that just depends, some times it's way less.

[JayBird]

I'm not quite 2 months into the "hobby" and I have spent around $400 in cigars and accessories.

[carbonbased_al]

Too damn much

[Rituxumab]

This month was about 200.00 ( Opus was releasaed)

However, I've yet to purchase a box, rather I've been buying singles of an assortment with effort to define my pallett.


Regularyly, I'll spend about $50-$80 / month, but I'v noticed an upward trend over the past two months.

[Andyman]

yah I think I am up to about $900 this year .. that amount is probibly higher than all my other years put together.

[ezthefix]

I'm at about 1000 euros a year. I tend not to buy whole boxes because I like to try different stuff all the time. It's a bit more expensive that way...

before Cbid, it was maybe 20 a month. After cbid went on a spending spree in jan/feb so it was a total of 500 and a humidor. But can't spend anymore until after august (saving up for vacation). Or at least, I hope so. Those ISOMs are calling though. So 50-100 a month sounds about right now.
