Not long. I probably only smoke 3-5 per month in the winter and 10 per month in the summer. Priorities have changed. I used to keep 200-300 cigars on hand, or at least try to.

Not to get overly personal but I've become more active in my local church. Shortly thereafter I learned that the pastor was going without pay at times. His salary is minimal to begin with, so I know this had to be a burden. Yet, he never let on. I found out from one of the deacons. Anyway, God laid it on my heart that I should be doing my share. Since I started to, money has been tight but we're doing fine. I've never been happier in my life all things considered. Good news is, I got a raise at work today. Hopefully it'll make things a little easier and will put some cigar purchases back into the mix.
