not smoking

bobdbobd Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 71
Do any of you ever go through a period of time when you just don't buy or smoke cigars for awhile? I have been busy as hell and haven't had time to enjoy a cigar in a month. I guess the upside is that the newest sticks in my humi already have 4 months on them and quite a few 1 year+. Hopefully I can take a day off this weekend and enjoy a smoke.

    I do bit not for lack of trying. I work some pretty effed up hours, and when I'm on the ship I'm either smoking 2 a day or none for days. I try to fit it on at bare minimum once a week, it's "vinnys relax time"

    I go through those phases... It comes and goes... I'm the exact opposite, most of the summer I haven't had the time/urge to smoke... not that it's a bit chilly I'm on the UPTICK!

    I go through phases - I usually try to have a cigar on Sundays since it is my relax day. Occasionally I'll have one during the week but I just never have the time and not that big of a fan of smoking by myself outside in the dark.

    Having just started into this back in july I was able to have a stick usually every other day so maybe three four a week....with the cooler weather and a new england winter I know that I don't have much time to enjoy the outdoors, but hopefully it will be a milder winter cause I hate smokin indoors.

    I've had a sinus infection and been busy as hell. I'm hoping that the next few days I will get a couple of sticks in. Been too long for me.

    I'm in one right now, it freaking sucks. Especially when my humi is 2 states north of me, poor thing has been drying out for 5 weeks.

    same here, sinus infection has been killing me. Last night was the first day I felt like I was actually getting over it...lit up a LP rat...felt great!

    As busy as I get sometimes, I always try to make time for a smoke, either it being at least once or week or what.

    Im a seasonal / streaky smoker. I will have no sticks for a month, then 1 every other day for a couple weeks. Also, during the winter and hot summer it is a bit tough to get through a smoke.

    This is me as well. Before the 4 I had on Saturday it had been a while, about a month I guess. And at least a month before that too. Hopefully now that the weather is a bit cooler and I can pull out the smoking coat I'll get some more smokes in!

    It used to be one a day for me. Lately it's been one every other day with school starting back up. Such is life.

    Pretty steady at 3 or 4 a week. Sometimes 3 in one day though.

    I'm feeling much better today. I'm hoping that my dad comes over soon so we can enjoy a few while the weather is nice. Glad to hear you are feeling better Nick.

    When I'm busy, or low on spare cash. Even still I tend to find time, and still browse the sites. I don't really need to buy cigars. I could theoretically stop buying and probably still have enough cigars for years. I love a good deal though. I do force myself to take a break from cigars for a few days, maybe a week when I want to refresh my palate. Especially when I want to try some new sticks. It helps me pick up and appreciate the subtleties. I've also found I enjoy the cigar more if it's not an everyday occurrence.
