If you won the lotto...

Krieg

A couple of posts on here that said people wanted to open thier own smoke/cigar shops, which got me thinking...if you won the lotto, what would you do? I for one would try to come up with some sort of buisness (with investors of course) that had to do with my two passions in life. Baseball, and cigars! I know they're plenty of regulations about cigar smoking...but not on private property (in GA anways). So what if there was a way to watch oh...let's say a 1930's baseball style game while smoking a cigar? Do you think people would pay to do that?? Just thinking out loud here...

I would open a cigar bar/smoke shop. I would have a non-smoking rersturant and micro-brewery. I would have dozens of flat screens and ps3's and xbox's. I would start leagues for madden, Ncaa and baseball and you could smoke while you play.

First, I'd pay some bills and get squared away with my credit score and all of that jazz. Then, I would get a house and a new truck. I wouldn't get really crazy with spending, because for the most part, I'm a tightwad. I think I could live pretty comfortably. I might consider opening a nice cigar lounge here. A lot of local smokers drive a good ways to get to a decent one, so I'm sure I could really do well here.

I'm with you on the first two not the last two though. I will wind up opening a restarautn or bar before i die (assuming I die in my later years and not sometime soon).

Hey, depends on how much we are talking about here. If a super large amount like 50 Mil. then first things first...I would have to purchase a nice home and a few exotic cars...after that I would go and look for a building for my nonprofit and make a all in one center for Veterans and Wounded Troops. A hospital style setting, care center, Vet social club, little store for Vets to come in from any where and get food. A flight change-over place to come eat, sleep, etc. for US Troops on the move to the sandpit or backfrom.

Build a nice large building for this!

If like 1-2 million, I would live just a bit better than now. House paid off, two new cars and just have funds to lean back on and work a few days more on the nonprofit than part time like now.

I would stimulate the Cigar world economy and would also consider opening a B&M or a Cigar Bar. It would be awesome, I would make my employer fire me to.. It would be fun to see what you could get away with!

I wouldnt know where to begin. I do know that I would buy an RV (Prevost, Liberty) and do alot of traveling with my family. I've been a truck driver for 15 years so traveling by RV seems odd to some.

These are always fun questions to think about. i would probably buy a place in Hawaii and retire to live comfortably - not extravagantly. A few cigars a day overlooking the ocean and the easy life would be what I would want to enjoy. If I wanted to open a cigar bar (which would be awesome) I wouldn't want to be managing it - I would simply want to be the guy buying drinks and bringing out cigars for some of my favorite customers. This would all be on top of giving and volunteering to good causes since I'd have the time and money to do so.

I would give my dad a couple mil so he could finally retire, buy myself a cabinet humidor and fill it up with my favorite cigars, open my own micro-brewery, and travel a lot.

I would buy myself a Porsche Carrera GT, build a walkin in my house, build a study with awesome ventilation so I can smoke inside, buy a box of HMR and get myself a box of the Opus22 every year. Save the rest!

No businesses for me. Mountaintop compound way out in the boonies with shooting range from the back porch.

I'd buy a small island and see about chartering my own country. I'd fly in 100's of hotties, and get busy populating my very own country.

Same here! Live out in the nice open air, where people would leave me the Hell alone, with my Nissan GTR and Titan in the driveway

I would buy a nice palace that i could call home in West Virginia & have a dedicated cigar room with a pool table, small cinema with theatre seats & a built in walk in humidor. Also would try to buy half the stakes of a cigar manuf (ie...Rocky Patel, Perdomo, RyJ) if possible.

I would do a lot to help out my family and friends first of all. I would buy my wife, son, and myself a nice 4 bedroom house, turn one room into a mancave and convert the closet to a walk-in humidor! Huge TV or two, Pool table... mmmm.... Also a nice big Motorhome to travel around with my family in. I'd smoke a lot of cigars and play a lot of golf... Would mostly love helping out my family and friends and spending more time with my family.

I'd buy a house somewhere in Colorado or a place like Mammoth, Ca, buy a cabinet humi, finish up schooling a start life in a job that I want to do because I enjoy it and not because I have to do it. Then take the leftover money, set up my family and stow the rest away for taking trips and retirement.
