Once or twice a week in good weather.

Given the chance, every Saturday. But it usually ends up 2/month.

I used to smoke one on occasion here and there.

Gave up nicotine completely about 10 years ago (used to smoke cigarettes).

I would love to smoke a cigar every now and then but I am afraid it would lead me back down the path to nicotine addiction.

I really don't want that monkey on my back again.

More when its warmer, maybe 2 a week. Less when its colder. Last one was over 2 weeks ago.

I had been smoking one every day for a while, on the weekend I smoke 2. Then one day I didn't. It has been 3 weeks and I smoked 1. Go figure.

I was thinking about smoking one today, but I said meh, I'm good.

Every damn day.

Yup, this morning was tough, huddled around the space heater in the garage. Up here, this time of year robusto is about as big as you want to go without risking frost bite.

I still have family in the Bimidji area so I understand. Everybody plugs their vehicles in over night.

I do the garage thing too.

Most everyday, sometimes more, for 25 years.

I’ve estimated that I’ve smoked ~9,000 cigars over those 25 years.

Daily.

Pretty much daily.

Not today, Mr. Life Insurance Policy Man. Not today.

ETA: Shit, not GD. Now I have forced myself to answer. Rare, rare occasion anymore but still thoroughly enjoy a great cigar!

Weekdays: One when I get home from work

Weekends: One in the am. Normally a CT or light bodied with a coffee. Then in the evening a more heavy one with a drink

1 or 2 a year.

Smoked one at a good friend's wake and at Christmas last year.

This year, probably one at superbowl, and probably Christmas again, hopefully not a wake.

I am really high volume.

Last one was November 2001. I quit while watching my mom die from lung cancer (cigarettes).

Whenever I damn well feel like it.

I quit smoking ~20 years ago, last year I got into cigars. I smoke a 3-4 a month or so, some months none, some months 6, it's not the same hit (I don't inhale).

I guess it depends on how addictive your personality it, but I didn't find smoking to be SUPER hard to give up, YMMV.

I quit smoking cigarette about 30 years ago.
About 5 years ago, I got into cigar.
At peak, I smoke two to three cigars a day, on weekends, and at least one cigar a day for weekdays.
Now, I have smoke maybe one cigar every month or less, in 2019.
I am more a collector of rare and well aged cigars than smoking them.

I will definitely smoke a cigar this coming November, when Trump win hos re-election.

Don't. Oral cancer sucks.

There are other avenues to savor & enjoy life.

I have one or two a day if I can. At a herf I might smoke 10, barf, then smoke 10 more. Just kidding. If I had to put a number on it: 12 a week.

I’ve all but completely transitioned to pipes but I still smoke the occasional cigar.

About 20 a year.

About two a month. Usually with my Masonic brothers. Bourbon and a cigar is a really nice event for me.

I really enjoy sun grown wrappers.

I live in PA so in the winters not often. I mean like maybe 4 all winter. In the summer I smoke at the marina prob once a week.

Posted: 1/20/2020 3:14:30 AM EDT

I try to have at least 2 per day, or so.

I guess this is as good a place to ask as any...

How do you guys taste anything other than "smoke"? Reading cigar descriptions online and in catalogues is like reading descriptions of wines and liquors..."fruity with a smooth draw, with hints of chocolate and mesquite in the aftertaste".

Every single cigar that I have ever smoked has tasted the same: burning smoke. Brand was irrelevant, from Acid to Gurkha, Montecristo to H. Uppmann, Cohiba to Romeo y Julieta, I never tasted anything other than smoke.

Agree. The most I taste is of the wrapper itself, not the draw. Just where the cigar touches my lips.

The smoke from various ones can smell different but I don't taste anything other than burnt-ness.

I asked because that’s often the case.

It does take time to develop your palate.
