Frequency of smokes?......

**hendu3270** · 02-23-2008, 11:05 PM

I know there will be quite a bit of variety in the answers to this question but I thought i'd ask it anyways. How often do you guys light up a gar? I've not been smoking cigars very long but usually have one after work in the evening or after supper, but occasionally miss a night here and there. But today I smoked a brisket. It was pretty much and all day affair tending to the fire and basting, etc., and I ended smoking 5 or 6 cigars throughout the day. does anyone smoke with this frequency? or more?

just a curiosity kind of question.

Cost and long term health concerns limit me to one or two a week.

**Presideo** · 02-24-2008, 12:12 AM

Usually about three or four a day, but a couple are only around 5 x 40 for a quicky...

**chefchris** · 02-24-2008, 12:30 AM

At least one a day. Positives outweight the negatives IMO.

Where's Kevin at?

Good answer!!

Being that its winter, Im lucky if I get 2 or 3 a week. Once the spring and summer come Ill most likley be smoking 1 or 2 a day. I wish I could smoke more but these damn things can get expensive.

But on a side note, it seems to be pretty nice out this afternoon. Just got up and I think Ill go out and have a smoke.

Nothin better than gettin up at 1 in the afternoon and goin straight to the porch to light up a cigar!

Dude, I think me and you are some how connected, because that's exactly what I'm doing. Woke up at 1pm and warming up something to get some food in me, then it's time to smoke.

We seem to do and smoke the same things on the same day.

weird.

Awhile back I cut my consumption to a couple a week...I've held steady with that. I don't smoke as much but I smoke better.

Hey you know what they say: "Great minds think alike"! Plus to me there is nothing better or more relaxing than sleeping in, getting up and having a smoke right away. Plus its winter so I tend to hibernate this time of the year.

I just got back in from a JDN Anto Consul. Man I love these things now. I picked up a 5er from Cbid, and the first one was meh~. But the last two ive had were awsome. Guess they needed to rest a bit. I will be picking a box of these up shortly.

Probably on his 10th cigar.

I would love to get up and smoke all day, every day. I guess that is called retirement. I either smoke or i don't, but when i smoke, I'll usually have 2 or 3. If i get started early enough, i my end up with 4 or more. For instance, I had 4 yesterday, but today even though i was carring cigars and was outside, i didn't have any. I guess that averages out to 2 a day, not bad.

**ashauler** · 02-24-2008, 05:03 PM

In good weather I usually have 3/day......morning/lunch/after supper. In bad weather I take what I can get, mostly on the weekend and I'll still have 2/3 day then.

**kevin7** · 02-24-2008, 05:10 PM

LOL at you guys,I have the flu so I only had 2 yesterday and 1 today.

Have you been wearing the patch since you've been sick?

Get well soon, Kev. I know that's killning you.

**here'sjohnny** · 02-25-2008, 07:36 AM

i'm the rarity here but i only smoke about 1/month. havn't smoked at all since new years. between college, money, and the horrendous weather in ohio it just hasn't been worth it to smoke lately.

**BunkyX** · 02-25-2008, 08:08 PM

As many as I can amounts to about four a day on average but up to six on a good day. Mostly lower priced brands $3- $5 (olivas, rocky patels, genuine counterfiet cubans, etc,)
and at least one $6 and above in the evening (Avo, Torano, Gurkha, Fuente, etc.)
