I don't have an actual dollar figure, I should ask Jeff next time I talk to him. But it is definately a number with three zero's behind it. I must have spent close to $500 in the last month. But I was trying to get ahead on some stock so, I would guess it comes in at around $300 a month. OK someone hijack this thread quickly. before the wife finds and reads this !
I don't even want to try and figure that one out.. All that money " up in smoke" But I did have many fine times doing it. I guess that counts for something.

I've spent about $700 in the last 6 months. But I'm also not buying anything else until the end of the year. I'm extremely conscientious of my spending and I'll cost average on stogies the same way I do in stocks. So the cigars I have are probably worth in the thousands if you counted each one individually.
Well i see that me and TatuajeVI have more in common ......... my second passion is guns and my third passion is cigars ....... and my first is shooting guns while smoking cigars ....... just spitballing here between accesories and gars i'd say maybe $450 to 500 ...... right in there ..... but i am getting ready to start project coolidor and i can see that being maybe 100 and then of course i have to fill it so maybe another 100 for that ...... jeez lets hope the wife doesnt see this ...... just kidding she smoke too .... and actually she has a nasty shoe habit ....... really bad thin is for 500 i get ots o gars but only 1 gun ....... ouch
Ouch, I've made a point of not looking. I started 4 months ago...spent just over $1000.00. On the other hand I'm set until spring as I won't smoke much at all in the winter in Minnesota, and my humidors are full.
I always get carried away...guns, guitars, drums, stereo equipment...this year cigars. It's why I never tried hard drugs.
On the other hand I've not had a drink in over 2 years now. This is cheap compared to that "hobby".
I have spent around $1000 since July. I am just getting back in to the hobby again. Since I started on cigar (counting the $1000 I already mentioned) I am close to about $2500. Most of that has been in cigars. I have two humi's now and a third in the mail. most of the time I would have to smoke something within a month or less of recieving it, now I have the room to let them sit for a little so I wont have to buy singles anymore.
i just bought a diamond crown humidor for 370.00 its a cherry finish beautiful box and 3 boxes of rocky patels which were 350 altogether but i give cigars out to customers and maybe when someone comes into my shop so they are tax write offs
So far, I've spent around 250 dollars here, plus around 200 bucks at the B&M. So, in the year that I've been a 'serious' smoker, around 450 dollars. That's a ballpark figure.
Wow... Now I feel even more irresponsible about my cigar spending. I've been into cigars for maybe 1.5 months, and I've spent easily $175 on sticks and equipment in that time - and I'm only working freelance! lol
So now that I just re-noticed my Ccom Join Date, I realize I had my time estimate off. I bought my first cigar maybe a few days before I joined Ccom, so I've been into cigars for not even a month. Yikes... After the event this weekend and my birthday, my cigar purchases will probably be put on hold for a good while...

I have repressed my spending way down into my sub-conscience. That way I can't think about it ....although some nights I do have some pretty nasty dreams.... involving me... and one of those old crank adding machines..I wake up in cold sweats....
Damn... I guess I should say I am happy to see most people here seem to have my problem! haahahah... Looking at other things I realize more and more it is a good alternative to all the other stuff I used to spend my money on. Like I havent bought alcohol really for a loooong time... Don't have TV home or play video games or buy music/dvds/movies... And I don't have a car... lol... Anyway... Blah - this is like the best hobby in the world! I love it. Def. a lot of variety and enjoyment in doing everything. Tending after your "crop", growing it, consuming it lol...
I love guns too btw but in the freaking US its so damn expensive! When I was in Bulgaria I had a nice smooth Beretta 9mm when I was 18... Here I cant buy any gun like that. In the past few years I have been growing more and more interested in hunting knives, but have withhold from purchases - just window shopping.... I think I'll stick to cigars - at least I don't run the risk of getting deported if found with a few of them in my pockets...

Thinking about this is kind of scary. In the last three days I've spent over $200. Picked up some cigars to bring on vacation two weeks ago that was about $45. The week before that was a Xicar cutter and a couple of sticks at local shop and that was around $125. In the last month spent close to $400. I guess I average around $50-100 a week. But I'm getting filled up to capacity, so hopefully that will taper off a bit. I go through about 3-4 cigars a week so I'll be smoking what I have for a while to make room. Still I feel the need to fill up as I smoke, Grrrrrrr its a vicious cycle!
Figured I'd bump this back to the top. Lasabar sent me an Excel spreadsheet that allows you to keep track of your cigars. It totals up price and # of sticks, etc. Neat program. Anyway, my estimate was off, lol. I have spent far too much money since I joined this forum.

Pounds or dollars ?
dollars and i have to add about 350 onto it as of today. had to use my birthday voucher:p
This year I have spent about $400 and I think I did exceptionally well since the actual retail would be around $1200. I never buy unless it is a special deal and then I research it before I buy to be sure I am getting the best deal.
