How many cigars do you think you smoked in your life? I haven't been smoking cigars for all that long, but I figured tonight I probably smoked 1250 cigars in my life. Figure an average of $4 a piece, that's $5000! And people talk about how much cigarette smokers spend over a lifetime. My dad quit cigarettes when he married my mom, but he still put away the amount he would have spent if he continued. A few years ago he revealed to us he had a savings account of $25,000 from money he might otherwise spent on cigarettes! If I smoke cigars like I plan to for the rest of my breathing life, I may end up smoking an additional 16,000 cigars!
