Default Re: How Many (curiosity question)

Just wondering how you can really truly enjoy a cigar if you are smoking 5-10 in a single day. I know that I have taken 2 hours to enjoy a cigar that I found to be very tasty.

On a herf day the key is pacing and knowing the flavor/strength profile of your sticks. Typical herf runs from noonish until 9-10 at night, sometimes much later. I will always start with milder Cuban sticks like a ERDM or Por Larranaga, move to more medium and finally to a full flavored smoke. Then I usually progress to NC"s sticking with mostly med/full and full bodied smokes. End the night with something more mild of a CC nature like a RyJ or JLP. Many of these will be smaller smokes like a PC or corona. Maybe one or two churchill/pirimide size.

The key is pacing and hydration. I try to keep my sugar levels up to help counteract the nicotine.

Pacing is even more important when at one of the big herfs(SoCal, Shack) that can last 3-4 days.

Guys who live up north I strongly recommend that you purchase a small propane heater about 3ft tall from walmart, lowes, home depot. great for the garage.

But to answer the question summer 1-2 a day; winter 0-1 a day.
