Re: How many days...........
 
Smoking cigars is one of my all time favorite things to do and I try to smoke as often as time will permit. During cold months its around 3 or 4 sticks a week with several days in-between. During the warm months its more like 4 - 7 depending on time restraints. I smoke when I feel like a cigar and refrain when I don't. Unless you are really concerned with the long term effects of smoking I don't see the point in placing self purposed smoking bans on your own enjoyment.

I don't know. I guess I just think that people who eat healthy, exercise, and do everything "right" still get hit by buses.

Enjoy your time here. It's short for everyone.

Since My Ride from work to home is about an hour, I have about one a day during the ride home in the cold weather.

I smoke 1 or 2 every Tuesday and Thursday during the winter and a few more over the course of the weekends.

During the summer I smoke 1 or more per day. It's easier to smoke daily when you don't have to worry about freezing your #*&^ off.

I'm a weekend smoker, for the most part. Every now and then I'll sneak one or two in during the week.

The winter months slow my smoking down quite a bit. I try to get a cigar in once a week during winter. Winter is when most of my cigars get some extra age on them which is a plus.

I'm a weekend warrior too. I go weeks at a time without one, but I find myself really wanting one when that streak approaches a month.

I've gone several weeks without. Either due to illness or just lack of time. Currently, I've been without a cigar for 1 week.

During school I typically head to the local B&M with a buddy once or twice a week in between classes. When I am out on break it is usually once every few weeks or once a week if my buddys are up to it. However, the cigars will be flying out of my humidor faster than I can put them in during next football season in the new mancave of my future house.

I usually smoke just about every day. Sometimes I take off 1 day a week. But I give it up every year (since about '93) for Lent--that's about 6 weeks.

When I am healthy, I rarely go 3 days without a cigar.

I've gone without cigars a number of times for up to two weeks. This is not really by choice but usually dictated by circumstance (e.g., travelling or when I have a head cold).

Usually I have 2-3 cigars a day week days and 4-5 on weekends...

I do find that if I am uptight or stressed out that a cigar really helps me settle down. I don't think it has much to do with the actual cigar, but the fact that when I have a cigar it is "me time" -- I relax, maybe have a drink, etc. and I don't worry about work or the other mundane things in life...

I totally agree, I like to come home after work and burn a stick. After a hectic day having a cigar makes you slow down, empty your brain, and for me just truly relax.

It's 1 cigar a day for me, it's like my daily vitamin

I could go months if I want, I never feel the need to smoke. I probably go about a month at a time during the winter.

My longest stretch in the last 9 years was earlier this summer when I had a lot of dental reconstruction work done....21 days...now, its not a huge feat...but when you work in a cigar shop and are around people smoking all day long...it became a massive exercise in willpower too not smoke....

As long as I have to. I've been visiting my folks recently because my Mom is hurt(broke her ankle) and have gone close to a week without lighting up. I don't enjoy it, but I don't get sweaty and shaky if I don't smoke. Breaking the ice is especially sweet as well!

I've gone about 6 weeks without a cigar at some points. I smoke less in the winter because of the weather and have to go to the lounge if I want one (I don't smoke in my house out of respect for my wife). During the summer, I'll smoke probably 4 nights a week plus what I have at the lounge on Saturday.

Since I live here in the Midwest, winter really cuts into my cigar time. In winter, I usually indulge on the way to work or while sitting in the hot tub. I avg. 2-3 a week but I've really been stocking up for the summer. Can't wait for 70 degrees to be here!

I could go weeks, but I don't want to. I have had a lot of spare time lately so I have been getting in some quality smoking time. 4 or 5 a week. Usually it's only one on the weekend, if I can find the time.

Re: How many days...........
 
During the cold months I may smoke a few cigars in the whole month, but when it's warm out, and I can sit on my patio, I will have a few a week. Unfortunately we don't have a garage, so my smoking space it very limited.

I get in smoking funks, for lack of a better term. Some weeks I won't even think about smoking a cigar, but others I want one every night after dinner. It seems like the non-smoking weeks are when school is really busy, and I actually have to study. :td
