You only live life once, it might as well be doing things that you enjoy.

I have just accepted that cigars are going to eat up most of my money.

Bill86 · 09-11-2011, 04:19 PM

200 pounds of pipe tobacco?

Sounds like you have had a problem LONG before cigars came into play.......

I never counted how much $$$ I spend on cigars or booze, I already know the amount....

Almost all of it

Cigars are a cheap hobby. One of these competition aerobatics models is equivalent in price to your entire collection, and you're only one mistake or broken part missed during a preflight check away from loosing the whole thing. Travel costs to district competitions are a large factor as well.

its not how much money you spend on cigars but the people you meet along the way down the slope

We have experienced financial difficulties as of late. Health insurance has skyrocketed, gas of course is expensive along wih no wage increase at my job in 4 years. My wife's work has gotten scarce as well. This results in a moratorium on cigars, so to speak. I don't need them and can do without them. I've cut way back on purchases and what few I have bought lately have been economy smokes. I've also cut back on my weekly smokes since bills come first. So, I know exactly what you mean.

You think that hobby's bad, try getting wrapped up in this on a regular basis. Lots of coin there ...

As much as Kat will let me

,Thank God she has more expensive taste than I do so I win

Sure beats collecting more boats

maninblack · 09-11-2011, 08:09 PM

If you recognize it as a problem, then it probably is. But if you have the money, go for it.

Steve · 09-11-2011, 08:28 PM

I refuse to think about how much I've spent. As someone else stated, you cant put a price on relaxation.

Besides, I'm also a fisherman with a boat...(3 actually)

nofeardiver · 09-11-2011, 08:40 PM

It def is one hell of a slippery mountain bro! I dont even want to add it up... I know inhale only bought 4-5 boxes but a crap load of singles

09-11-2011, 10:54 PM

$7k?? That's more money then I have seen in years lol. But when it comes to the love of the hobby I have heard it's better to not add up what has been spent

hammondc · 09-12-2011, 07:31 AM

I agree. It is an expensive ride. I am kinda of thinking of quitting. The wife and I are going to have a kid on the way soon. Cigars are an expense that is easy to drop. I have about 45 cigars left. Once they are gone, I am done. I only smoke 1-2 per week, so they should last a while. The good news is that it is all really good stuff left.
