Didn't you say you either used to smoke cig's or still do? If so, I think you may be trying to smoke cigars like cigarettes. 7 to 8 50 ring 6" cigars would consume about 10 hours of your day the way most people smoke them.

If you take your time and draw slowly on the gar it will be a much more satisfying experience. I like to smoke 48-52 ring gauge by 5.5-7" gars they last anywhere from 45 minute to an hour and a half. If you a sucking them down like cigs to get the nicotine crack in the head, just switch back to cigs, It's cheaper. I think, the question was asked not to long ago on this board "how many cigars do you smoke in a day?" I think, the average was about 3 or 4. That average is by some very experienced cigar smokers some more than 10 years.

Cigar smoking for most people is not about the nicotine or an addiction. It's more about the flavor, the hobbie & the comraderie. I think most botl will probably agree. Just ease up a bit and it will come to you.
