Have you ever considered giving up cigars?

Well, hump day is here.
Haven't had one since Sunday.
When looking back at the last quarter of last year, no way I could have done that. I longed for at least one a day.

Easy week so far as no cravings.
I do feel my chest a whole lot better than I did on Monday.
That lingering head congestion seems to have cleared up.
My goal is to make it through the next two weekends and see how the herf goes on 2/14, then see if I can stay away for a bit more as planned.

I guess I'm going to have to bring the good stuff on 2/14 to help change your mind!

It could be time to reserve cigars for just special occasions?

I really think you are right.
Part of doesn't like that.
Part of me welcomes it.

Carlos, as others have said, maybe it is just the winter cold season that is affecting you. I normally smoke 1 or 2 per day but this time of year I always get a mild case of bronchitis along with sinus infections. If I smoke 1 a week now it is a lot. Also got pneumonia this year and now haven't had one in over a week. Maybe you will find as do I that come Feb, you will feel better after smoking a cigar. Hope so for your peace of mind.

I know you live in a nice climate. Do you ever smoke indoors? If you do, then another option is to move outside. You are breathing a lot of recirculated smoke that is potentially going to aggravate you if you are inside.
