Smoking cigars is one of my all time favorite things to do and I try to smoke as often as time will permit. During cold months its around 3 or 4 sticks a week with several days in-between. During the warm months its more like 4 - 7 depending on time restraints. I smoke when I feel like a cigar and refrain when I don't. Unless you are really concerned with the long term effects of smoking I don't see the point in placing self purposed smoking bans on your own enjoyment.
I don't know. I guess I just think that people who eat healthy, exercise, and do everything "right" still get hit by buses.
Enjoy your time here. It's short for everyone.

I smoke 1 or 2 every Tuesday and Thursday during the winter and a few more over the course of the weekends.
During the summer I smoke 1 or more per day. It's easier to smoke daily when you don't have to worry about freezing your #*&^ off.

I'm a weekend smoker, for the most part. Every now and then I'll sneak one or two in during the week.

The winter months slow my smoking down quite a bit. I try to get a cigar in once a week during winter. Winter is when most of my cigars get some extra age on them which is a plus.

I'm a weekend warrior too. I go weeks at a time without one, but I find myself really wanting one when that streak approaches a month.

I've gone several weeks without. Either due to illness or just lack of time. Currently, I've been without a cigar for 1 week.

During school I typically head to the local B&M with a buddy once or twice a week in between classes. When I am out on break it is usually once every few weeks or once a week if my buddys are up to it. However, the cigars will be flying out of my humidor faster than I can put them in during next football season in the new mancave of my future house.

I usually smoke just about every day. Sometimes I take off 1 day a week. But I give it up every year (since about '93) for Lent--that's about 6 weeks.

When I am healthy, I rarely go 3 days without a cigar.

I've gone without cigars a number of times for up to two weeks. This is not really by choice but usually dictated by circumstance (e.g., travelling or when I have a head cold).
Usually I have 2-3 cigars a day week days and 4-5 on weekends...
I do find that if I am uptight or stressed out that a cigar really helps me settle down. I don't think it has much to do with the actual cigar, but the fact that when I have a cigar it is "me time" -- I relax, maybe have a drink, etc. and I don't worry about work or the other mundane things in life...

I totally agree, I like to come home after work and burn a stick. After a hectic day having a cigar makes you slow down, empty your brain, and for me just truly relax.
It's 1 cigar a day for me, it's like my daily vitamin

I could go months if I want, I never feel the need to smoke. I probably go about a month at a time during the winter.

My longest stretch in the last 9 years was earlier this summer when I had a lot of dental reconstruction work done....21 days...now, its not a huge feat...but when you work in a cigar shop and are around people smoking all day long...it became a massive exercise in willpower too not smoke....

As long as I have to. I've been visiting my folks recently because my Mom is hurt(broke her ankle) and have gone close to a week without lighting up. I don't enjoy it, but I don't get sweaty and shaky if I don't smoke. Breaking the ice is especially sweet as well!

I've gone about 6 weeks without a cigar at some points. I smoke less in the winter because of the weather and have to go to the lounge if I want one (I don't smoke in my house out of respect for my wife). During the summer, I'll smoke probably 4 nights a week plus what I have at the lounge on Saturday.

Since I live here in the Midwest, winter really cuts into my cigar time. In winter, I usually indulge on the way to work or while sitting in the hot tub. I avg. 2-3 a week but I've really been stocking up for the summer. Can't wait for 70 degrees to be here!

I could go weeks, but I don't want to. I have had a lot of spare time lately so I have been getting in some quality smoking time. 4 or 5 a week. Usually it's only one on the weekend, if I can find the time.

During the cold months I may smoke a few cigars in the whole month, but when it's warm out, and I can sit on my patio, I will have a few a week. Unfortunately we don't have a garage, so my smoking space it very limited.
I get in smoking funks, for lack of a better term. Some weeks I won't even think about smoking a cigar, but others I want one every night after dinner. It seems like the non-smoking weeks are when school is really busy, and I actually have to study.
