State of the Cigar Nation: Poll 1

[El Presidente]

Series of polls leading into the weekend.

They will  assist me in preparing a requested submission paper with my 2024 forecast numbers for PCC. They will also assist in prepping forecast numbers for our own small factory. 

We will finish Sunday. Appreciate the assistance!

2022 was my most irresponsible spending year.  Now doing some penance, ...though am buying the Nudies

The only reason my cigar spending went up is because of CC pricing.

I would add a question on customs. While my spending is still all Cuban, the amount on custom rolls is much much higher now than in 21

2022 was a big year for my spending on cigars, more than 2021. 2023 is less than half of 2021. I’m happy with where my collection is and I’ve migrated to smoking more unbanded cigars - so my banded collection is largely staying intact.

like others have mentioned. My spending has stayed roughly the same, maybe slightly lower, but the purchases are MUCH less frequent. I think I've only bought 3-5 boxes this year (some of them partial boxes from BOTL) whereas before I was averaging purchasing a box a month.

This is me as well, and I plan on growing my Nudies inventory so I can hold my CCs for aging, special occasions. I'm priced out of most new CC acquisitions when it comes to buying boxes, but I do look for 5 packs of certain larger format CCs from trusted folks on a daily basis.

Some very interesting numbers even at this stage.
