Cigar Costs

Hey all! Just had a random thought while looking at emails from various vendors who sell cigars, When is a bundle too much money?

The trend lately has swung towards more expensive bundles whether they are samplers or straight up specific brand. By expensive, in my opinion, I mean $70 and up. I really feel like $60 is at the top end of my budget on a bundle and even that is few and far between my spending habits. I understand with FDA looming over tobacco that costs may rise, but if they do it will seriously impact my and everyone else's choices when the time comes to refill the humidor. So Make sure you contact your senators and be heard!

This doesn't mean that on the rare occasion I wouldn't treat myself to a box of something expensive like a box of Paul Stulac Red Screaming Suns or Camacho Triple Maduros at over the $100 mark. I have even considered that when I retire purchasing a $150 box of Opus X Lost City cigars with only 5 in the box. But that is a rare occassion. But somehow the industry thinks we are all well to do and have thousands of dollars sitting around to purchase these expensive boxes on a regular basis.

Anyways this is just food for thought and if anyone would like to comment on this trend please do on this blog.

Till next post, Peace.

Still Here!

Hey All!

Just wanted to let all of you know I am still here. As stated in last post I have been dealing with some health issues. Turns out my Gallbladder was bad and I had to have it removed. Since then, February, I continue to have stomach issues. So for those of you who who have had your gallbladder out and still had issues I can relate!

 

On a better note, despite the stomach issues, I have still on occasion been able to burn a stick now and then. Going through my notes in my cigar diary and photos, getting ready to write some more reviews.

Yesterday I had my last Paul Stulac Red Screaming Sun that he sent me with the prototype band on it. Absolutely Fantastic! Will be taking a trip to Smokey's soon to get a few more! Almost forgot how great they really are since I hadn't had one in a while.

So thanks to all of you with your patience, stay tuned, more reviews to come.

Till next post......................Peace!
