How long have you been smoking? - Page 2

Smoked stogies off and on in the military, nothing serious. Then in '96, at old Mizzou, I bought my first humi. So, to answer your question, 12 years and I've never looked back. Still sliding down after all these years!!

Realistically, a couple of years.

php007 · 10-16-2008, 09:52 AM

Got serious in 1997, I smoke about 2 to 3 times a week.

Smoked my first cigar in July of this year. Took me 40+ years to get around to it, I guess. Dammit -- all those wasted years of opportunity.

dunng · 10-16-2008, 09:53 AM

15+ for me...

AriesOpusX · 10-16-2008, 02:42 PM

About 5 years. I hadn't been such a heavy smoker until about 2005-2006 when I started buying boxes and smoking almost daily.

Started smoking regularly when a buddy and I took a trip to Okinawa. We stop every night at the local beer store and get some ORion and a couple of stogies to sit out side and enjoy. Been hooked ever since!!

since 99. didn't really put much thought into it. i use to just walk into a humi and grab whatever. it wasn't until i joined my first forum that i started going after better smokes.

One here or there since I was 16.When my son was born in Sept 07, I had some leftover Montes that I didn;t give out.Sat outside one night and tried one.3 weeks later my new 100 count humidor that I bought the week before was stuffed. Someone greased my slope good.

I started to dabble around 1993 and have gotten more serious every year . Then I found cigar forums on the internet around 2005 and it has just gotten crazy since then .

10-17-2008, 09:32 AM

About 16ish years... wow - has it been that long?!?!?

N2 GOLD · 10-02-2011, 09:48 PM

It started back in 1996 & still going STRONG...

tsolomon · 10-16-2008, 07:28 AM

1 year, started smoking on the golf course and discovered that it was a good way to relax at when I get home.

10-16-2008, 07:31 AM

A few here and there in 2007, then pretty regularly as of about April of this year when my FIL gave me his old humi and I felt the need to fill it up.... then I found you guys and life's never been the same

chippewastud79 · 10-16-2008, 07:41 AM

Since about 2000 for fun, since about a year and a half ago for serious

Hmmm - started smoking cigarettes back around 1968 and quit around 1994. Cigar smoking started around 1972 and still going strong -

Whoo! Man it has been about 10 years now. I started a year before graduating high school in '98.
I have been enjoying it ever since! Best way to spend some free time relaxing!

groogs · 10-16-2008, 10:28 AM

I smoked a cigar here and there in the late 90's and early 2000's but didn't start smoking seriously until mid to late 2005.
