EAR: Monthly budget and an expensive habit.

"I’ve finally carved out a cigar budget of $250 a month. It’s not quite enough (is it ever?), but with family commitments and the rising price of Cubans, I’m just happy to have a little cigar cash at all.

I typically smoke 4 cigars a week, and I’m partial to Corona Gorda through to Churchill sizes. I’d love to include some Cubans in the rotation, but I also need the rest of my lineup to punch above its price point.

Rob how would you allocate the funds? "

 

Well FOH  gurus....Suggestions? ......and make sure to show us the math! 

Looking forward to seeing the ultimate $250 USD pack

Quarterly JL1’s & Fabrica5 with the rest.

I’m still a fan of the AF Hemingway series. Or with budgetary considerations he could cut down to 1 cigar a week and tell his wife that he is making this MAJOR concession in order to spend more quality time with her and the family. He should now be able to skimp on the obligatory Valentine Day flowers, birthday, anniversary, Christmas gifts and increase the available funds.

Flat truth, unless you are buying bulk disco over state lines, Fab5 in your chosen sizes is the way to go. ~$250 a month is a bundle of something. After four months, save into a box of CC that makes sense for you. Repeat endlessly.

RASS $115

SLR Regios $120

QOD 54 $150

San Cristobal La Fuerza $125

San Cristóbal de la Habana La Punta $125

Ramon Allones No. 3 $150

H.Upmamn mag 46 $130 - $150

with a healthy mix of custom rolls and some five packs of Fab5!

Get some friends into the hobby would be my suggestion. Box splits would be the way to go, unfortunately getting friends into cigars is now an expensive game but an investment in the long run, especially if they actually transfer the money for the box split.
