I can smoke about 2 per day (always one unless I'm sick) but the budget really dictates my smoking volume.

I could not handle 4 or 5 a day. Damn! :D

Dave - I am not worthy.... I get in about 6 - 7 a week. That's all time allows for. Can't smoke at work, 1 smoke a night during the week, that kills 1.5 - 2 hours, and maybe 2 on Sat and 2 on Sun. I think the biggest day I ever had was 5 and I was done after that :)

I have smoked ~20 in a week once, but it took a week long vacation and perfect weather (outdoor smoker). In summer, 1 per day, in winter, 2-3 per week. For me the major problem is time and weather.

I used to smoke a box a week when I worked from home, but I'm back in the office now and I get in about 12-14 a week now. I'd do a box a week if the schedule permitted.

Wow guys some of you are hardcore. With the cold weather coming if I get to smoke one day a week I'm happy, usually it's more like 2-3 times a month.

I am very lucky to smoke one a week this time of year. I am mostly an outdoor smoker so this time of year my smoking frequency goes way down! However in the summer I smoke about 3-4 a week, I just don't have enough cash/time to smoke a box a week!

Wow, that's a lot of cigars. I'm happy when I get to smoke 2 a week. It kinda works out because I really don't have to worry about how much the cigars cost, but I like to keep them price below $12 a stick. :)

Of course they aren't DC's or churchills either. :ss

My breath is wonderful! :)

dannyboy
11-08-2008, 12:53 PM
Wow, thats a lot...I smoke about 2-5 per week, depending on schedules, etc. I find that if I smoke 1+ a day, after about a week or two, my taste buds burn out and they all taste like ashtrays. A couple days off through the week makes the palette a bit happier.

O-Danger
11-08-2008, 12:56 PM
Wow you guys are like a bunch of chimney stacks. I am lucky to get in 1-2 a week and with winter comming It will be much less. I just don't enjoy smoking in -20 to -30 celcius with a wind blowing. I don't have a garage so I am gonna be hibernating for the winter:hn

Actually, it breaks down pretty easily....

I get a smoke in every day on the way home...if it's a bigger smoke, I drive slower....:ss

At night, while Jennifer and Marissa are watching the boob tube, I can get in one or two.....

Weekends I've been known to kill over a dozen....

(Gastonia trip I killed 15 in two days)

So a box/bundle a week isn't really all that bad!!

This summer I worked it up to 5 or 6 smokes a day. I burned through 6 or 8 boxes in world record time.
In the last month I think I've smoked 2 cigars, maybe 3.
I have a hell of a cuesheet built up from all the gifts guys have sent me as of late, so when I can get off the couch and back out in the shop it's gonna get SERIOUS. :D

floydpink

1 pc every morning for me and something bigger after work outside, usually in the Jacuzzi during workdays.

usually 4 on days off, so that makes 18 a week, which isn't too far off from a box a week.

jaycarla
11-08-2008, 07:27 PM
I always love these threads! Cool to see peoples smoking habits.

I go perfecto or something small in the morning with coffee. Then a couple at night.

On weekends I turn into the Incredible Hulk of cigars and go on a mission. Usually 4 or 5 on Fireday and again on Saturday. 2-3 on Sunday.

BillyCigars
11-08-2008, 07:28 PM
2 per day + 4 a day on Saturdays and Sundays = 18 cigars/week. I've actually slowed though :ss

I smoke at least 3 regular size sticks daily, sometimes up to 5 depending on what's going on. That's not counting a few quality cigarillos on the way to work and on smoke breaks.

Of course, the bulk are bundle sticks, with a few quality cigars in the evenings. I also favor robustos or corona size sticks, so it's not really hard to do 20 to 25 per week.

I went so far as to screen in my back porch and put in plexiglass storm windows and a radiant heater to stay somewhat warm in the cold Michigan winters! Next to come is an air scrubber and exhaust system!

11-08-2008, 09:52 PM
I'm a 3-5 a day smoker.
Colder weather has me thinking how I can close in the porch...


I don't even have a routine of smaller to bigger sticks or milder to bolder sticks.
I try to have a smaller one with my espresso..Tho today I had a CI Legend Drew hazelnut
followed that with a Oliva Special Gsmall but powerful wee stick.
Then Perdomo Cabinet series torp, for the last few hours I've been trying to smoke a Montechristo Especiale that just hit my doorstep. No patience..plugged...I used kabab skewer to open it a bit..Still no sparkle. Maybe I'll like it better tomorrow. Rainy misty 55 f outside...

Jason
11-08-2008, 10:05 PM
sometimes at lunch a PC, always something in the evening, maybe 2, so 1-3 a day

I'm really pushing it budget-wise as I tend to always want to grab something nice and then buy when I'm getting down to the "every-day-smokes". This is vexing! If you guys that smoke a lot can simply afford it then congrats and enjoy, but if you have a secret you could share for staying within your means, do share :D

I can only speak for my self, but our brother Coy- smokes at all time after work, though work consists ofa HUGE portion of his day. the rest is smoke filled in his smoke room.

I usually smoke one a day during the week and a couple on Saturday. However, if I have a BBQ comp to go to the count goes WAY up. This week I left on Thursday night and got back on Sunday morning. I smoked 11 sticks in that time. A little more than normal, but I sure did enjoy them!!

Silound
11-09-2008, 10:50 PM
I'm with Shadow, Dave. I do 5-8 a day while at work at the shop, usually 4-6 on non-work days.

The real question is, what do you smoke that many of a day? :) Typically I have at least two LFD Cabinet 500's in that count, along with an assortment of other sticks. I think the mildest one I smoke is my usual morning opener (Griffen's Robusto) while the fullest bodied stick I usually smoke is a Factory Press or LG Small Batch.

I used to average about 3 a day, but for the last 6 months or so it's gone down to 5 or 6 a week. I actually think I can taste them better now that I give my pallet a rest every once in a while.


Now if I worked at a cigar shope, they'd find me dead with a lit cigar in each hand within the first month I'd smoke so much.:r

i have done about 4-6 in a day but after about 3 days of doing that i agree with Borndead1 that my toungue is like shrapnel and i cant tatse for a couple days, so i have slowed down to about 1-3 per day and tatse them much better...

I'm lucky to get one cigar in a week when it gets cold.

I'm with you I'm afraid. Young baby, full time job where I can't smoke, I try to get in one or two during a football game on the weekend. This weekend got goose egged because of guests from out of town who couldn't be on time. :fl Tonight for MNF.

BlackIrish
11-10-2008, 01:27 PM
Typically 4-5 a week -- a couple or three nights during the week after work, and one or two on the weekend. If I'm lucky or if I work from home one day, 6-8.

This past week I was traveling on business to Miami, which allowed me to smoke on my hotel balcony. Even so, managed only 2 a day, working them in around meetings.

Like some of the other inmates, I find that my palate suffers a bit if I consistently smoke more than two a day.

I am 2 - 3 a week on average usually all on the weekend during the summer.

In winter I am lucky to get one a month the lack of inside venues to smoke in and the chance of it being - 50 degree make it difficult. But on the bright side low risk for beetles.

I can't imagine how you would age cigars if I smoked one a week. Heck I can't imagine what the g/f would say if I bought a box a week.

Generally one a day, two at the most on work days. So far, the most I've smoked on a day off is five. So I guess I'd get close during a week I didn't work.

i only have the 1 from Litto personally at the RTDA- havent smoked it as of yet... Any advise ;)

Smoke it on a full stomach :)


I think the one handed out at the RTDA show was the special blend. Only Litto knows what the blend is, and he won't tell. It's not available for sale beyond the LFD sampler (purchased at LFD events) or the 5-pack figurado/perfecto box.

Hella good smoke, I wish I could get my hands on a box or two.

I am close to a box a week. Maybe in the 15 to 20 per week range. Only have time for one on each of my work days, but I make up for it on my days off. :ss:ss:ss:ss
