Could you Would you?

[pektel]

Honestly, you would have to be awake 24 hours straight and always have a cigar hanging out of your mouth to smoke 20. Yeah, that doesn't sound like a good time.

I find that smoking 5+ cigars A day for too many days in a row burns my pallet and I can't taste anything for several days. So no.

my palate is usually shot after 5 full bodied smokes in a day so I would not smoke that many given the chance

[Crownedone]

I would like to know how much of each smoke these guys smoked. 1/4, 1/3, or half would quickly diminish the effort/time needed to smoke 12 aday. Nubbing 12 6X60's in a day would be a serious feet indeed.

[Dunkel]

I think the 12-20 a day is a myth more than reality. Is it possible, sure, but is it likely, no.

I would say no as I have been imposing self discipline. I only smoke generally on weekends with around 2-3 cigars in a week.

Don't think 20 cigars would be possible unless I didn't sleep and they were all short smokes.

[Remo]

Doubt I would/could even if I had the means and the time. I smoke them to enjoy them and smoking that many in a day would ruin it for me.

[Gophernut]

No way would I want to. I at most smoke 3 cigars in a day, and that's a rare feat. I would say if I smoke 1-2 cigars a week that's plenty. The feeling I get when I get to smoke one is a treat that I wouldn't want to lessen.

[CrzyMtnMan]

Try to enjoy a small smoke each day during my lunch hour....maybe 4 per week there. Evenings, perhaps 3 a week. Weekends 2-3. Ten a week is about the most I do, once again they are for relaxation and enjoyment, some weeks when things are busy will be lucky to catch 2-3 the whole week. If I had unlimited resources, I would have my dream cabin by a lake somewhere, probably one in the morning and one in the evening.

[Jasonw560]

No way I would. I smoke 1-3 a week, and that's plenty. Like many others here, the specialty would wear off quick, and I wouldn't have a palette.

[Lanks85]

I currently enjoy the 3-4 a week that I burn. I honestly have no desire to increase that amount. That may change given a different lifestyle and if tobacco had no negative consequences. Maybe 1-2 a day max?

[deadrise]

I smoke 1-2 a day and on Friday and Saturday 5 each day manly because I am drinking
I could never smoke 15-20 that is crazy

[lenguamor]

I actually smoked three cigars today; the first was a Cuban Fonseca, which was remarkably good; the second a Leon Jimenez which was decidedly off and I quit halfway through; the third a '00 Cuaba Divino, which I usually really dig...but not tonight. My taste buds were tired and I shouldn't have even lit that third stick...wasted it.

[never_enough]

No. At most I would smoke a few everday. I don't even come close to that right now.

[rizzle]

In a word, no.

[YankeeMan]

I smoke 2 to 3 cigars per day, sometimes a few more. I agree with most of the responders here, it would lose some of the effect if I smoked that many a day.

As for the medical warnings, I survived 30 some years of police work and prostrate cancer, I'll take my chances. George Burns made it to 100, so how bad can it be?

[DaBear]

I think I could only deal with 3-4 a day consistently, mainly because I love my toros and typically get 1.5 hours on one, so that'd be 4.5-6 hours daily spent smoking a cigar. It'd also ruin the experience for me. I like to sit back and enjoy the smoke and pick out flavors if I can, the only time I don't do this is when with others, and even then I just scale back how much I try to pick out flavors as there are other things going on, if the smoke tastes good I make note to grab another and smoke by myself sometime.

[Don Fernando]

I could but I wouldn't. Smoking is for relaxation and fun, smoking 12 cigars a day is nice on a big herf, but where's the fun and relaxation if you do it 7 days a week?

[SteelCityBoy]

I am with most others here on this topic. Smoking is almost ritualistic for me and it is special for me when I do burn. With that said at this point I may burn 2-3 during the week and perhaps the same on the weekend for about 4-6 a week. Herfing would definately include more.

I just enjoy cigars so much that I think it would ruin it for me to smoke that many in a day everyday. To each his own however...
