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.
