When I was working and had the income, I was importing Cuban cigars at over $100 each. Now that we're both retired I dont get to enjoy a good Cuban very often. My humidor is looking pretty empty now days.At $10.00 per pack, it was enough to get me to quit. I did the math. Five cigs per day, equal $2.50 x 365 / 12 = $76.04 per month. That amount will buy a lot of needed / wanted prepper or shooting items. Now how many smokers will only smoke five cigs per day? Most smokers are looking at over $100 per month. How much ammo could you buy with $1200? How many new weapons with $1200. How much stored food, water? I have no moral or personal issues with smokers but I just can't justify complaining about high ammo costs while I burned (smoked) $100 each month.
Good thing I still have a good stock of quality Scotch in my bar.
