Does the current state of the economy have an impact on your cigar budget?

ya well im actually moving to the san diego area this year and its a very expensive area. most fast food places out here are just as expensive as resteraunts like carls is usually around 10 or more for something very basic. rent out here is f****** crazy and so on. anyways the economy is struggling a lot and it has effected me as a low wage student

The price off gas with the upcoming winter fuel cost is making me spend wiser

Well I guess budget comes into effect now a days specially when it comes down to the expensive cigars, I guess I have to do my home work when it comes down to same taste at a better price sticks.

Hell no! It's all I have left that I CAN spend money on.:mumbles: Yhat and wood to build humidors.

The economy doesn't affect my cigars, but I haven't went out to eat in months! Some things are more important than food.

I went to Jack in the box the other day and same thing. I didn't want candles on the table and a waiter in a tux, I just wanted a frickin burger and fries. They can screw their fast food. I'm a better cook anyway. Prices like THAT might take from my cigar budget. I'l take a good Cigar over a crappy burger any day.

Nope.

In my case, I have money set aside for BS spending while in Iraq, and most of it goes to cigars. I am not hurting, but when I get home, I will need to be a little wiser in my purchases. In addition to that though, all my guys won't be smoking my cigars after we get home. I will be able to make them last a little while longer which will make fewer purchases. I will be alright.

The only thing right now that is killing me are gas prices! But with that driving up the cost of everything else and economy taking a nose drive I'm sure I will be even more effected soon. Lucky for me is my line of work will always be needed!

[silentjon-cl]

No. But I will be cutting Back. I am getting a new vehicle soon.

[CHBIV]

Definitely, I am transitioning careers right now and I must say I have had to cut way back until I get my income back up to normal
