Going cheap

[LeafLover]

How are you going cheap nowadays?

Lost my Blazer. Don't want to fork over the money to buy another lighter. So, using a regular lighter to light my cigars. Soft flame is working out though.

avoided Regionals and Edicion Limitadas = went cheap

Sticked to heroin from 2013 - great year, IMHO

He stole all the heroin so I settled for 2013 crack. A decent substitute, but not as powerful as heroin - El Laguito rolled some nice drugs.

Only drink using one hand. The competive nature of my left and right was costing me a fortune.

Seriously, I smoke more Party Shorts rather than three quarters of a Corona Gorda then laying it down.

I only bought 20 boxes the past 5 months from the 12:12's

The joke is really getting old, IMO.

Also, Esplendidos cost at least as much as most RE or LE.

Pipe smoking is a wonderful thing on many levels. One of which is allowing me to age my cigars. Using $50 bills instead of $100 bills to light my cigars helped too.

Yeah, but then the Canadian govt. had to mess that up too by making the bills plastic.

I've replaced burning my bills by using a nice blue flame off a bottle of cask strength and it seems to be working ok.

Been using matches a lot lately, works a treat but not much wind in socal (except some nights only in beverly hills sup J)

Smoking mainly outdoors, I got a bit tired of soft flame - otherwise I'd still be using my trusty, never fail Zippo. After having a couple of Blazers (which I love) die on me, I bought a Vector Thunderbird butane torch insert for Zippo cases. Capacity is much less than the Blazers, power nearly equal, so I'm happy overall (enough so that I bought the Vector butane soft flame insert as well). Short money, and so far great reliability......

Party chicos for when im only crawing a fix more than hour long contemplation

My way of going cheap now is buying online (from our hosts!). Here in Brazil the prices are way too high, can't say the prices here but I can say buying this way is saving me some good money!

[Mynamesnotdan]

Well its been cold as hell here in Minnesota, so I've been going cheap by not smoking! Hopefully it warms up soon though because I'm well overdue for a good cigar.

[mikek]

Well I have used more lighters for fishing weights than not! I always keep some strike any where kitchen matches for backup.

[garbandz]

No more impulse buying.


When I buy 5 or 6 boxes a month,it's only the ones I really need..........

[canucks6024]

great thread. agree with the pipe smoking.

[teyreborn]

Been smoking a lot of pl panetelas

[GodofFire]

Being unemployed I can't even afford cheap and my humidor is almost empty. . Just a couple left then DT's are going to hit hard

Can't even do that in Australia because the bills are plastic!!

[TheLiquidGator]

Switched from blondes to brunettes and have managed to save some coin in the process.

Bleached blondes might be a compromise worth trying

[Duxnutz]

Smoking non-cubans. Happy to thin that particular herd.

[maxcjs0101]

I'm not going cheap but our customs are ravaging through parcels and cigar shipments are being detained. So i'll have to order and smoke a lot lesser.
