Whats your cigar budget?

I know it’s different for single S/BOTL than married ones, but what’s your cigar budget like?if I look at my average for the year it’s about $50 a month. But it comes in $200 spurts like when I travel or do a box split with a friend. I have a little cigar slush fund from odds and end I can save here and there. Wife is cool with about $200 a year, but I need to hustle the rest to avoid the stink eye. What’s your story?

Depends if I have the extra cash and what’s available (annual release or limited run)2

Another way to phrase the question is, "How many cigars do you smoke in a day or in a week, and what's the average cost?"
I recently bought 3 5-packs and on a decent sale, the order came to $120. At 2 sticks a day, that would work out to roughly $240 for the month, assuming the other sticks were of similar price.
So... being single and an independently wealthy coffee roaster (cough, cough) I don't actually have a budget. Nor do I need one, since my CAS was so rampant in past years that I have no need to buy any more. Ever."I could've had a Mi Querida!" Nick Bardis12 -

My monthly income minus 2200 dollars. But it doesn't all go to smokes. It just gets put into whatever section of my revolving door of hobbies happens to be open at the time1

I see your point, I’m only smoking about 3 a week, so average price per cigar is $7.

Nuttin', honey. Recently lost my job, so there is no budget.
On the plus side, I've easily got a thousand & some gars stashed away, aging. And according to my inventory I've also got north of 40 pounds of leaf salted away against the tobaccolypse... so there's plenty of makins for rolling more. There is literally no way in hell for me to smoke all the gars I've got or will make before I die.

No real budget here. Smoke about 5 a week in good weather, over the winters here I rarely smoke so my annual usage is likely 130-150 ish or so. So, I'm certainly buying more than I smoke for now. That'll change when I move to FL in a few years.....How do you like my profile pic Taborski? @matkn2931

No actual budget I just purchase wisely some months I spend more others less. If I smoke 3 in a week it is a good week.

Two a week for me if I am lucky. In the process of converting part of my wrap around porch into a three season room so it may go up when I am done. No budget. I am pretty good until one of you knuckle heads point out a good deal.2

Math isn't my strong suit....Nether is budgeting.
I'm down to 5 - 6 a week since starting to smoking a pipe.... Which will give me about 3-1/2 to 4 years of smoking time. I have no idea how many I buy a year.....And I don't want to know.
So to answer your question.......I don't know.0 -

Are we talking B&M prices or bulk prices? I usually buy a few per month at the B&Ms, unless I go on a bit of a spree. Usually buy online, 15+ cigars, now and then. Down to smoking 3 or so per week. As long as the humidor doesn't run empty I'm good. Hasn't happened yet.

Boss lady puts $100 on my card every month solely for cigars.
Some months, I don't use much of it and can roll it over to the next month.
Other months, I exceed that $100.
This month, I exceeded $200 by quite a bit. LOL!In Fumo Pax

Some months I don't buy any...
The other 11 months of the year I just buy whatever. No real budget. Just depends on how much my jeep wants to fvck me over that pay period.“Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman – or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.” – George Burns2 -
Budget? What is this budget you speak of?3

I’m like @Captain_Call where I have a section called “finer things in life” that cigars fall into. Some months it’s most of that and others it’s not.2

My wife buys my Cubans for me since we made a deal where I cook and she buys my cigars for me. But I do buy some that I like to smoke on when I look for new Cigers to try but I try to keep it low budget since we have a big family.0

I smoke 2 boxes of diesels a week.
Try and get them on deals, but since it's the only one I smoke not always possible. I have to be pushing 8 to 10k a year. But then kids are out of the house everything is pretty much paid off and wife pulls in 400k a year, I bring in a quarter of that delivering pepperidge farm cookies 3 days a week and always smoking a stick while working.0 -
