.................can you go without a cigar on average?
I had been back to smoking daily and have suddenly felt I needed a self imposed break.
I have been skipping Monday through Thursday and just lighting up on weekends. I still do about 4-5 on the weekend.
Living in South Florida, weather is not a factor to stop me. Seems I just go through cycles and this is one of them.
For you guys in the cold weather, should be easy to go a while as you have no choice. Does it hurt to do so? I know it hurt me like heck when I was living through NJ winters.
How many in warm weather can stay away from their patio in the evening and lighting up?

I don't physically need a cigar, but I would prefer to smoke one.
I hate winter. Right now, I am probably smoking 2 a week. I smoke 2 when it is cigar night (heated patio).
EDIT: Like Bao, I have gone weeks without one before.

I've gone almost 2 weeks without one before...the great thing about cigars is that I never feel that I need one versus wanting one.

especially in the winter. However, if Im smoking with the boys I can easily smoke 5 or 6 cigars in an evening to make up for it.

I am smoking about 1 cigar a week now and wish it was more but I don't find myself jonesing for them like I had with cigarettes. I can do a week or two. More if I had to.

I don't "go without" unless I have a damn good reason.
As long as the cigars taste good and I have a dollar in my pocket,I'm smoking.

I usually smoke 1-4 a week. Sometimes I go without one for whole week. I prolly average 2 per week. I also use smokeless tobacco so it's not a physical craving or an addiction with the cigars so I can go without them.

I can go through months of winter without one although from time to time I will want one. Even in the summer I would typically smoke maximum of two per week. Cigars to me are a relaxation activity which is why I don't smoke unless I can sit down and enjoy. I have no intentions of changing.

I smoke once a week or so usually. I'll go weeks without smoking at all though.

In the winter I smoke between 1-4 a week, in the warmer months, 3-7.
I have however, even during the warmer month, gone a couple weeks without.

Smoking a cigar is meant to be a relaxing leisurely experience so if I can't sit outside and really enjoy it I'm not going to bother. Living in Vancouver that means that during our rainy season, about 4 - 6 months of the year, I barely smoke. The most I ever smoke is 1 or 2 on the weekend so going for extended stretches isn't really a concern one way or the other.

This time of year, I probably smoke a quality stick every other day.
During golfing season, it's pretty much 2-4 a day.

When the weather is warmer I'll smoke one or two cigars daily but this time of the year I get in 1-3 cigars a week.

Yes it hurts.... I REALLY wish I could just walk outside in a tshirt and shorts and enjoy a smoke for 1.5 hours. It sucks that I can't....
At this point I get one in a week at most..... I will smoke more as the weather turns.
In the best of times, bet I will be having 5-7 a week......maybe more.

Two to three days for me. I smoke in my heated garage with the door cracked about a foot. That will change next week when I install a vent system in there.

If its warm enough in the garage I smoke there in the winter, if its not I don't really smoke. But I've never had a day where I felt like I missed something if I didnt smoke. So on average I smoke once a day I think, tho I have been 10-14 days without before.
