I just finished a night of snoking, beers, and poker. I have 8 cigars in 11 hours, and now the tip of my tongue is sensitive. Did I smoke too many? (Probably) Just curious what peoples limits are. Only smoked 4 in one sitting before this.

I was a 1 to 2 a day guy for a long time until recently when I got back into playing poker with a good group of guys. I smoke about 3-4 times a week now but on nights I do well and Im at the table for a while I can easily go through 5. Its a lot and that 5th one needs to be in the neighborhood of Full+ for me to get anything out of it. I usually start Mild and progress.

Generally like to do 0-1 on weekdays and then 2 on weekends. If I go more than that, then that probably means I am drinking a bunch as well - which makes the morning rough.

I'll do 3 on a Sunday's out watching football on the deck while the weather is nice. 5 is my max if I'm hanging out with my buddies all day drinking a few times a year. I keep seconds and inexpensive cigars I like for the 5th one since I'm just smoking to be smoking at that point. After those dsys I don't smoke for 5 or 6 days.

I have never tried a marathon to find out. I usually smoke 2-3 a week if I have the time. Yesterday after a sunrise photo shoot I went to the office and smoked a Tabernacle. One of my cigar smoking office mate came up and pronounced me to be "Hardcore" to be out in the cold that early smoking. I tried to explain that I had been up since 5 and been in the swamp shooting pictures. He still thought I was crazy! He did ask that when I returned to B&M he would like a Tabernacle.

I smoke one or two a day, either at my son's naptime or bedtime or both. I delude myself into thinking that I won't go out at night and sit in the cold for an hour and a half, but then bedtime comes and I'm sitting around thinking, "what do i do with myself for the next four hours?" So i usually end up heading back out for either another stick or a pipe. Now if I had a whole day to myself, no wife no kid, I would try to put down at least five. Morning smoke with coffee, after breakfast dog walk smoke, after lunch smoke, then back to back after dinner smokes. Somehow I'd try to fit in a few games of bowling, too. What I wouldn't give to spend a day with cigars in a bowling alley. Or billiard room. Or poker room. Heaven.
