Has anyone here ever spent more than this for cigars?

[Drexell]

I did buy 2 ESG's for I think $23 a piece probably 3 years ago.... they're still waiting to be smoked.

It is all relative! If you make mad coin then a few $100 for a cigar is a drop in the bucket! I used to look at it like if you go out to a high end restaurant and you buy a bottle a wine for $500 and then you split it with 3 others, you now just payed $500 for one glass of wine!!!
I myself have not spent more then $50 ish for a vintage cigar. Now I have been gifted cigars that cost hundreds of dollars and have been blown way by there generosity!

I have a hard time spending more than $20 LOL.

I paid $475 a night to stay at The Showboat in Atlantic City last month (if you’re not familiar, it’s not worth half that).
Phish tour…I’ll pay extra $$ to have my own room with my wife, be close to the venue, and have tickets for the floor.

I’m also eyeing up a replica of Jerry Garcia’s guitar Wolf.
It would set me back about a grand, but for that guitar, I’m game.

Sure, it’s not cigars, but I figured I would chime in!

However, let me be clear.
I have 2 young kids, they always come first.
As does my wife, then my dog.
So, with that being said, that Wolf replica is a long way off!

Man's got a point.

I might be able to afford a 3K box of cigars,.........but damn if I'd be able to explain it to the wife.

This is exactly why I have my own checking account and credit card. That is how we have stayed happily married for 25 years!

I'm not retired, but I too have a cigar allowance

Samesies. And thus we are faced with the age-old question: if a cigar delivery is made and nobody but you is around to see it...was a cigar delivery truly made?

 

[Boudie]

Delivery notification is a wonderful thing.

I do as well, but I blew it this week picking up two more boxes of Balmoral Signature series cigars.

"But honey, the company has been dissolved and I'll never be able to buy them again." It seemed to work this time.

That's why I don't have any.


Wives! I got lotsa cigars!

There is not a chance in Hell I would spend $215 for a 2010 cigar "IF" I was ever going to spend that kind of cash for a cigar it would be for a Vintage Davidoff or Dunhill or a specialty humidor cigar like a Habanos 1994, Cubatabaco 25th, Cubatabaco 1492

$215 for a 1492? You want the first 3rd, second 3rd or last 3rd?

I remember, many moons ago, the venerable Da Klugs posting a pic of two full boxes of 1492's from his own collection. They looked like the Crown Jewels
