Before you give up an important and enjoyable part of you're life make sure that there really is a link between your smoking cigars and what ails you. Doctors and the medical profession generally have a reflexive antagonistic reaction to the very idea of smoking gars. There may be a link in some cases - then you have to do what you have to do. But it seems that every time I go in for anything - blood pressure a little high or whatever I get that same lecture - its a mantra only partially informed that they preach to one another and their patients...I'd seek out a good cigar smoking physician who can really be honest on the issue. Stress is a big killer and nicotine and the ritual surrounding the cigar lifestyle is a significant health benefit. I wish the best for you and you family during this time - our thoughts and prayer are with you.
A Long, Long Day

Be well Chuck, keep an open mind on this one PLEASE. Take it easy my man. Easing stress in your life and smoking less are not that bad.

Finally got all the approvals from the insurance dweebs. Tomorow back to the hospital for hopefully no more than a day for MRI's, blood work ups etc. You guys be good and I'll catch up in the evening.
