I have noticed that CBid and CI have had some really great deals lately- large lots on special and somewhat lower prices. This, I suspect, is partly seasonal and partly economy induced. As the economy worsens at the same time as more cigars are coming to market, prices will continue to fall a bit.

If I recall correctly, the cigar tax was a 'floor tax". iI understood this to mean that sellers would be taxed on their current inventory at the time the tax goes into effect. if I am right about this, we can all anticipate some major sell-offs!

I think at this point I have enough cigars to get me through at least 4 years.

That's because you are looking at it all wrong. Buy up as many cigars as you can. Do not use cash; credit only!! Then when you are over your head in debt, get a government bailout.


I don't plan on stocking up on anything at the moment. Every time I buy a new humidor, I fill it up quickly, so I'm trying to keep my stockpile reasonable.

I think I'll call my best friend's sister, who now lives in the Dominican Republic, and ask her to find me a place to live.

To answer the original question... I live on $14k/year as a grad student, stocking up isn't an option.
