Break the Bank...

OK, so I have already posted a poll on this subject, but I was just wondering who spends the most (Weekly) on cigars. I usually just limit myself to about 40 U.S., but there seem to be a lot of people here who spend A LOT more. How much a week do you spend a week on cigars, (the official price and not the one you give to your spouse), and how much do you think the average afficionado spends?

Don't know about the average smoker. I spend about 40-50 a week.

There have been times (like Friday) where I smokes $40.00 worth of cigars in one day.

This not a very good question for a thread topic. There are times when people smoke or spend a large sum of money one week and little or none the following week.

Your second question:

how much do you think the average afficionado spends?

is even worse.

What is an "average afficionado (sic)" (that's ONE "f" not two )? How on earth do you define that IE? That is essentially an impossible question to answer based on the fact that an average aficionado means something different to just about everyone.

Your second question:

OK, Baring no major long term, collection or other expendature. Excluding Humidors, what would you estimate to be your AVERAGE expendature per week.

ExpendIture

Over what period of time? The last month, the last three months, the last six months, the last year, the last two years, the last three years or the last ten years? The answer is very different for all of those time periods in my case and I'd be willing to bet in just about everyone else's case as well. Your time frame (a week) is too small. That's like asking "How much do you eat per minute?" I could figure it out but the answer is meaningless. If you want to change it to "per month" it would make it slightly easier to answer but in my case, I'll spend anywhere between $0.00 and $2,000.00 per month. That's the best answer I can give you.

I coulda sworn this question was put in poll form here at one time or another.....

Man Cat, you are getting technical... Just forget it man. It is a pretty straight forward question that is open to interpretation. If you cant understand it, leave it for someone else to answer, it is no big deal or anything. I was just wondering....

Yeah, and it was posted before. (I said that when I asked!) I was interested in people if anything had changed, if they never responded before and for the new people. It is always interesting to see what things have changed around here.

I was in the $40-50 range a couple months ago when I was smoking only the gas station brands. Now I'm smoking fewer cigars per day but probably more in the $60-70 range since I'm smoking about five pricey Ashtons per week in addition to cheaper Belmondos and Berings. I'm getting some sweet relief these days though since my boyfriend brought me a new box of Ashton Churchills when he was in Des Moines last week. But I'll have to return the favor with an expensive gift for him, so I'm not sure if I'm saving anything...lol.
