Cigar smoking...

[cigarsarge]

Welcome to CS. I smoke at least one a day. The way I see it any day on this side of the dirt is reason to celebrate.

There really is no "correct" way to smoke a cigar - just popular ways that yield the best results. It is safe to assume that any questions you may have in regards to cigars have already been dicussed on this board. so I suggest using the search for the fastest results :-)

Oh, and I wouldnt worry about smoking too many cigars. They dont stop being pleasurable just because you smoke them every day. If anything, this will facilitate the rate in which your pallate seasons, thus allowing you to appreciate more in the smoke itself. Each cigar is different. Each brand has its own unique flavors and characteristics, so theres always something new to try, even if you smoke every day. Personally, I smoke about 2 cigars a week. If I had the time to smoke every day, I most certainly would.

Welcome to CSmokers!. Only two or three a month?? I guess that it would help one savor the experience more. I average about one a day during the summer time. I really love smoking cigars and critique them a lot more than I use to. I don't know, I think you can certainly smoke more than two or three a month and still have a pleasurable, conscious experience. It's all up to the person really. Good to have you here!.

I smoke 3 a day on average. We ran a poll on CigarPass.com and here are the results:

More than 35 a week (more than 5 per day) [ 2 ] ** [1.32%]
22 to 35 a week (3 to 5 per day) [ 4 ] ** [2.65%]
15 to 21 a week (2 to 3 per day) [ 11 ] ** [7.28%]
8 to 14 a week (1 to 2 per day) [ 26 ] ** [17.22%]
2 to 7 a week (less than 1 per day) [ 82 ] ** [54.30%]
1 a week [ 14 ] ** [9.27%]
1 every other week [ 9 ] ** [5.96%]
1 per month [ 2 ] ** [1.32%]
I don't smoke cigars and have no idea why I joined this site. [ 1 ] ** [0.66%]

I was on the high end but out of 151 people who voted (so far) in that poll, and as you can see, over HALF were in the "2 to 7 per week" range

i try to only smoke on special occations (sp?). like tonight was my 21st birthday party and i enjoyed a smoke with one of my friends right now i don't plan to have one everyday or even every week because of money issues. but when i do have one, i try to enjoy it and savor the taste of it.

unless it' s a day off then it could be two or three.

Romeo y Julietas are a great cigar. The "darker" ones you see are what is called a maduro wrapped cigar. The wrapper leaf is fermented. It changes the leaf's flavor, increases sweetness and darkens the color. Personally, I don't care too much for maduro although I have had a few that were nice. Ashton and Butera make a nice maduro. Although not all darker cigars are maduro. But as Yeager said, cigars are very subjective. People like what THEY like.

Amen!, I like the RyJ Cedros Deluxe #2, a bit mild but still enjoyable. I wasn't always a fan of that one, but it's kind of grown on me the last couple of times that I've had it.

I understand with school that money is a bit of an issue, having been there myself at one time. Have you tried looking into cigar "seconds"? I mean, you can substitute one keg for about two bundles of "seconds" or "rejects" cigars form various cigar makers.
