Do you ever think about how much u spend...

on cigars?? This is meant as a fun type question as I know I never do and I know in the 8yrs Ive been smoking cigars regularly its been alot of money but man cigars just make good times better in my mind. A nice bonfire, a good day, a bad day, watching football, etc etc. cigars just really make things better in certain occasions. The money I've spent and Im guessing its been alot, never really crosses my mind because some of the best moments Ive had made with friends and family, or just pondering out on my deck with a bonfire or celebrating whatever have all been made better by having a good cigar in my hand.

I try not to, but I have been unable to ignors it lately because I was laid off last year and am working again, but I took a substantial pay cut. So I am much more aware now when I am smoking a $10 stick.

Probably way too much! I stopped buying for awhile and started to clean house of extra stuff that I would never smoke and gave those away. Now I buy once in awhile, but not a ton usually.

Don't get me wrong here I'm not a heavy hitter in cigar terms, I was laid off last year myself, luckily got my job back, so I enjoy and mostly target the $3-5 cigars.

No, if I did, I probably wouldn't buy any.

Since I finally came to the realization that I have too damn many cigars, I've quit buying. In that sense, no, I don't think about what I spend.

I used to, though. Oh yes, I used to. Not that that stopped me, mind you, but there was always that thought in the back of my mind.
