I've honestly been considering selling off my cigars except for a couple choice boxes and just putting the money into pipes. At first I thought it would be an additional hobby, but I really truly enjoy it a lot more. Buuuut, I still like cigars, and there are a couple different sticks that will ALWAYS have a place in my home, but that's about it.
This is what I have been doing as well. I always keep some Sanchos, El Rey's, and Padrons on-hand for when I get on a cigar kick.

November - February were 75% pipe to 25% cigar. March has been 50/50.
Prior to November I wasn't smoking pipe at all.

I have been smoking a few more cigars lately but I still smoke a bowl or two every day.
So cigars= 4 a month
pipe= 8 to 10 bowls a week

I smoke a cigar about twice a week and a pipe about once a week.
As others have said, this changes drastically and often.
A lot depends on what I'm reading (P&T Mag. or ECCJ), what I'm listening to (Dog Watch or Oom Paul) or what forums I've been on.

I like both, but as others have said, I only really enjoy cigars in the warm weather. Pipes are a lot easier to pack half full and stuff, and with the price of tobacco here, it's way cheaper to load up half a bowl than to go buy a small cigar or a mini.
But, that being said, I enjoy both and smoke both year 'round. Either way, summer is coming and I'm gearing up for the heavy smoking season.

i have been smoking a pipe for about 35 years, cigars for about 7....smoke about 10+ bowls a day....used to be an occasional cigar...now since i started running with this crowd and FRH that has gone up significantly in the last 6 months!!
for me my biggest cigar smoking time in the past has been summer cause i can do it on my boat on the lake...expect that soon

I only smoke cigars when the weather is good.
But I live in California, so that's 95% the time.

I've noticed peaks and valleys in my smoking habits. For a while I smoked only cigars and left my pipes gathering dust. Then for the last few months I did the opposite (the price of pipe tobacco was the main cause of that switch). Now I find myself smoking a pipe through the week and cigars on the weekend.
