rtrimbath Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I'd have to be a lot more selective in my purchasing. My impulse purchases would definitely have to stop. Damn 24:24 already put me in a pretty deep hole as it is haha!
anacostiakat Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I feel as though I am already selective. Always looking/comparing for best ROI. Given US NC prices now I am not sure how much more "selective" I can be.
Quint Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Curse the US for normalizing relations with Cuba. Right now I'm going to stock up, but if that actually pans out and as previously stated income salaries don't track then buying will slow down. But I believe that after the initial newness wares off, demand will fade like any other fad in the states. Prices will bump up for a while, maybe a few years, but in the end things will level off. Then what happens, Cuba will have spent all this money on supporting infrastructure and demand will have waned. Prices will have to drop........ 1
CatchNRelease Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I'll have to stock up now, prices won't go up 22% if I have a decade worth of cigars stored in Rob's online humidor, haha
dvickery Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Sounds like nothing new ... 2004 saw a 5% increase followed by a 30% ( compounded ) increase followed by replacing US$ with $CUC . Nobody stopped buying in 2004 . Derrek 1
free85 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I can only afford what I can afford, and as such, I'll be more selective (unless I see progressive raises in my career totaling 22% over the next 5 years). Selective buying it is.
Quint Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 If this comes to fruition I wonder if it will pull up the prices of all cigars Cuban and non-Cuban alike. I remember in the late 80's early 90's when popularity of cigars went nuts and prices sky rocketed. Cigar dinners and events everywhere. Smoking was still allowed in restaurants and bars. That eventually simmered down as did the price of cigars.
poorman Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Voted I don't really care. Looking at yesterday's 46's, they would go from 185 to 225, that's about 1.6 per cigar, and that's five years out, big deal.
laficion Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 . Because no matter If I keep buying or not, I'm definitely gonna ***** on the internet. I'll be more selective. Guy

Looking at yesterday's 46's, they would go from 185 to 225, that's about 1.6 per cigar, and that's five years out, big deal. Or $160 more per 100 cigars and Vegas Robania Unicons $200 more per 100 etc. Almost like for every 100 cigars you lose a box. 1

Scroats Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Inflation will be half of that. Not to cause pain and heartache with my foreign brothers but us import duties on cigars are 40 something cents a stick.
AlBaron Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Prez, I really think you need to either remove the last option, or allow us to select multiple ones in the poll, as I'm sure EVERY SINGLE person, at least on this forum, will do N5 Alex 1
muzz Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 ***** on the internet, but keep buying as the NC options are not for me
riazp Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Probaby ration what I have, buy more selectively in cuba or just dabble in the occasional cigar here and there.
cigaraholic Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I've been stockpiling for the last 10 years....that should help. Cigar prices are already insane! 3
FLB03TT Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 First I hope like hell my income has kept pace with cuban cigar inflation! Barring that, likely grin and bear it. It's still a cost effective passion/hobby. Less than motorcycles, golf, hookers and blow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Not into motorcycles, can't hit a golf ball straight to save my life. Now, fewer hookers and less blow- that's a more difficult decision!!!
cooper669 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 At the rate I'm going, by 2020 I will have more than enough cigars for the rest of my life!
stunod Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 First of all, if the embargo ends hypothetically , and it won't,, and the USA can start buying, I will spend a small fortune in 2016 and buy for my lifetime before production needs to double to feed the US monster and the quality goes in the crapper. In that Scenario, I would not care about a 22% price increase.
MIKA27 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Take out a second mortgage as the prices here are already over the top

dchapman Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I'm not convinced that quality will a constant. I'm stocking up now...
