My limit is about 4 a day and that can skew your palate. I do not care how you hold your cigars, I leave that to snobs. Instead of inhaling try blowing a little of the smoke back out your nose for enhanced flavor. On a good cigar I will remove the band on it and smoke it till it burns my fingers, the dog is on his own and I love to smoke cigars while riding around in my SuperDuty truck. Welcome to the group
2 a day sometimes 3 and welcome to the forum. I gave up cigarettes 6 years ago but sometimes inhale out of habit. The guys are right though about blowing a bit out your nose, it really works
I'm smoking 4 or 5 cigars a day, too much?
I hold the cigars between my index and middle finger sometimes.
I hold the cigar between my teeth sometimes.
I inhale a little bit. Gives me a bit better taste and feel for the cigar.
I smoke 'em down past where the ring was.
I offend my dog with my cigars.
I smoke while driving.
So, comments, suggestions?

The ONLY thing you are doing 'wrong' is inhaling. Cigars are NEVER meant for inhaling - not by the blenders, the manufacturers or retailers. NOTHING about a cigar is intended to reach your lungs and you get NOTHING positive from doing so. As mentioned the reason you taste more by doing so is not from inhaling but from pushing the smoke through your sinuses, which you do not need to inhale to accomplish.
Everything else on your list is 100% personal choice and there are NO RULES about any of it.
Everyone is different and has a different palate. If yours can handle that many a day without being worn out, then you are fine! Many people smoke 2-3 times that, many smoke far less.
You can hold it ANY way you like. Only snobs and homophobes tell you otherwise.
You can smoke them as far down as you like - same answer. Personally I like my smoke cool so I stop when it gets hot. Sometimes that's at the band, sometimes the nub - it depends on the cigar. When they get to a certain temperature point the flavors start to wash. I like ending on a good note.
I still say it's wrong to hold the cigar with the fingers in a "V" like the french do - smoking a cigar like that is like raising your pinky finger when you take a sip of scotch from a tumbler, just very effeminate.

I hold my cigar like I hold my c*ck. The whooolllle hand masculine enough for you?
What I do wrong? Buy too many cigars and run out of room in my humidor while expecting a shipment of 23 more cigars with nowhere to put them! I know, I know guys, buy a bigger or another humidor
