How often do you smoke?

[Thegreekone]

I smoke between 1-3 a week, usually two.

I try to eat a late lunch before I smoke, but that doesn't always work. It depends on the stick and how fast I smoke it.

Couple things are important for me. One, cigar smoking is a pleasurable and leisurely activity. When I smoke, I do nothing else but smoke and chat, maybe have a gram of scotch or some bourbon. I don't smoke while working, mowing the lawn, creating art, etc.

Finally, I would MUCH rather smoke less and consume higher quality tobacco than smoking 3 dog rockets a day, just to smoke.

Now, that said, my wife will be in Taipei from 12/5-12-27 and you can bet I will smoke a stick a day. She hates me smoking and I will be on break from school. The party is on, I even see a day where I smoke 2 a day. But that is vacation mode. I don't have the time to smoke like that everyday.

If I had the bills and time, well, maybe life would be different, but for now, it is what it is. YOU get to DECIDE on what, how often, and the rest of the stuff that goes into enjoying cigars.

You just started smoking right? Eat well, drink something, stay hydrated, and smoke slowly and the rest will work itself out. :thumbsup:

I smoke anywhere from 1-5 times a week. I only smoke in the evenings usually ('cept for weekends), and I don't smoke on days I play hockey, unless I smoke after hockey, but that's rare.

As long as I'm well fed and hydrated, I'm good for more sticks without getting nic-sick or anything.

One or two a week.

 

[icehog3]

I smoke almost every day, some days more than one.

And I do have a cigar on days I play hockey sometimes.

I've smoked before a game before, maybe it was just too close to game time, but I felt like I was almost sweating stale smoke.

Perhaps I'll try smoking earlier in the day like 4 or 5+ hrs pregame/practice and see if there is any difference for me.

2 - 3 per week. I usually smoke in the afternoon or early evening. A morning cigar never really crosses my mind.

I had a Tat Noella with some Italian roast coffee on a beautiful saturday morning once and it was epic! My only morning smoke.

I am not much of a morning guy and always running late, or so it seems.

I find it relaxes me, but it is usually a couple hours before game time on a day off from work. I have never felt any negative effects, so if I feel like it and have time, I light up. :cbig:

I usually smoke 1-2 a week. Depends on what I have going on and if I can set aside the time. Sometimes I've gone a couple weeks without one. The guy that told you that is feeding you B.S.

Ive been smoking 4-7 a week lately, but once winter sets in, I doubt Ill keep that pace up. The other night I experienced a little nic-sickness with a Cohiba Siglo VI. I had a light lunch and 3 fingers of JW Blue, so Im sure that why it hit me so hard...lesson learned! (FYI: I did have a pepsi right after and about 15 minutes later I felt much better)

 

[Alwayslit]

smoke 1 to 2 a day. Maybe 3 a day on the weekend.

Seriously bro, man up. How many threads are you going to start about cigars making you sick? This is 3 by my count. I am not sure how enjoyable the experience would be if you get sick every time. Cigars, like anything else, are not for everybody.

 

[Highlander]

I started intending to smoke maybe one or 2 a month. Lately it's been 3-4 a week, but only one on any given day. I have the problem of getting kicked as well so I've been paying close attention to what I'm smoking when it happens etc. With me it's full flavored dark cigars of finer brands that usually get me. I can smoke a Stradivarious churchill for 2 hours and not feel a thing but a Montecristo of any of the full bodied varieties I've had will either give me a buzz or make me feel ill.

So I'll stick with milder ones for my main smokes and go with stronger ones on special occasions. Especially if I can take my time smoking them.

"When I smoke, I do nothing else but smoke and chat, maybe have a gram of scotch or some bourbon"..my Poison is Capt. Morgan.

I quit smoking after 14 years and picked up Cigars. Now it is not a direct replacement...just happened to work out that way.

I smoke...I Sit and Enjoy...maybe on a good night I will have 1, maybe a Few. Weekends more as there is ptoentially more time to SIT and ENJOY.

Cigar Time is Daddy Time..MY Time...The Family Knows...I do not thing but enjoy (of course i do not sit until 'it' is all done so I know I can ..."back and relax")

as per Nic Rush...an Apple....Perfect...plus it clenses the palate when Done...IMHO.

I do love my Cigars !

 

[MiamiE]

I usually smoke only 3-4 days out of the week. Usually Thurs-Sunday.

 

[tobii3]

To be truthful, the only time I'm not smoking a cigar is when I'm sleeping

This is true..if Larry's on his feet and not smoking...something is wrong!

And I do have a cigar on days I play hockey sometimes.

I made the mistake...once...of smoking a PC on the way to work. Turns out we had an "impromptu" 5 mile run.:barf:

I only smoke on the way HOME from work now!:smokingbo

I went from being the "one a month" guy to being the "3 a week" guy". I don't always have 3 a week, that's just a safe average... I generally have one cigar, maybe two, during the week if the weather allows and I can fit it in around classes, and then I'll have one on Saturday, and usually one on sunday.. So I can go from 0-1 a week to 4-5 a week... That being said, I've only gotten hit by nicotine once (Cain Maduro. BAM!) and that wore off pretty fast... Dunno, It's just never bothered me (Although, I'm a pretty wide guy, and I generally smoke about a half hour after eating, and smoke with a root beer)

 

[Dr. Xikar]

That being said, I did have 6 in one day last saturday... There was an Oliva event at my local B&M, free stuff flying everywhere. It was a very nice day.

 

[Soundwave13]

I smoke everyday, usually 2, sometimes three, once, 15.

I quite smoking cigarettes July 07'.

I smoke pipes too - one or twice a month in summer, 3-4 times per week in winter (pending a good book in the evening).

You are not inhaling right?
