Gentlemen, it's been a long time...

Unfortunately I've only managed to smoke one or two real cigars in the last couple of years, mainly due to not having a proper smoking area in my tiny rented apartment and the UK having sucky weather (of course!) which pretty much limits me to about 48 hours of sunlight in July... :D

On the plus side, I have about 5-6 boxes of stogies that have been ageing nicely in the humidor! -(P

So, what's the longest period you've gone without a proper smoke and why?

[Blak Smyth]

About two weeks while I was sick.
I didn't have a cigar from birth until I was about 15 so I guess 15 years would be the longest time for me.:D

[Emjaysmash]

A month or two.

[McSmokey]

A month or two.:tpd:

[Neuromancer]

:tpd:

Well, ya got me beat...I think I started smoking Tampa Jewels when I was about thirteen so you beat me by two years...

[Islayphile]

4-6 weeks

[jluck]

I went a few months when I was building my home and had the humidor packed away.

[Doctorossi]

I spent about a year under the foolish notion that I could be satisfied going without. Then, I remembered that cigars are good. :r

Welcome back, Harpo!

[Ogre]

2-3 weeks since I started cigars 2 years ago.

[mosesbotbol]

Probably 2-3 weeks. Not sure?

[Salvelinus]

Winter time seriously limits smoking up here. I go months at a time without smoking. Been a warm winter though so I've been able to get a weekly smoke in this year without a problem.

[icehog3]

Maybe 10 days when I was sick, or had surgery.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Month or so.

[keith_mahoney]

Maybe about 2 weeks because of being too busy on deployment.
I smoke one everynight on shift because about 80% of my fire department is into cigars and it's a good way for us to come together after dinner.

[CigarGuy88]

18 and a half years :r

[LostAbbott]

The first 32 years of living...

[NeuRon]

5 weeks due to surgery.. then it was open season... gosh do i miss summer! :(

[kickerb]

one whole terrible week, it drove me nuts!!! I was sick with a cold that wouldn't go away!

[CigarSquid]

About a week.. Then I smoke like there is no tomorrow on the weekends.

[Emjaysmash]

You're old! :r :r

[dwoodward]

Since starting smoking cigars.... probably 3-4 months was my longest spree. I am currently on about 1 month atm... Just too cold outside to smoke, and I can't smoke in my place and the smoking laws here outlaw it everywhere, even in smoke shops.

[Smokin Gator]

For the last 4-5 years I would say a day was the longest I've gone. Before that maybe a month or so.

[Taki]

I would say two-three days for me :sad

[MurphysLaw]

I haven't had a cigar in about 3 weeks, upper respiratory infection turned into acute bronchitis :td Hoping the second round of antibiotics finally gets me feeling better

[Bill86]

Since I've joined here, not long :ss

I feel for ya, I had a bout of that last spring.

Tamiflu fixed me right up.

Thanks, I went to the doc for the 2nd time yesterday, hopefully the stronger meds will have me on the mend soon. Have tickets for a big cigar event next weekend, gotta get right before then.

[JenksAnejo]

I really got into cigars when I was 18. I went to college and was very poor for a while. Now I'm back in it full throttle so I would say about 3 years!

[kelmac07]

Longest two weeks of my life. :D

[SteelCityBoy]

Smoked a FFP Superbowl Sunday and then just smoked a stick today...about 4 days is probably my longest stint...

[DaBear]

About a month and a half, three times. Almost went a whole summer with no smokes, but caved about halfway through after the golf course I was working at at the time had an event and I got a couple free smokes from a rep that was there(don't even remember who it was, I want to say JdN). Ended up smoking something outta my mini humi I had at the time(8 cigar capacity, who was I kidding? :r). And the other time was when I had just gotten in to pipes, liked it so much that I just didn't want a cigar for awhile.

[RCS44]

I held out until my 18th birthday!! so that makes 18 years

[Flounder]

5 or 6 six weeks, since smoking semi-regularly.

[coty]

since I started working at my b&m.... hours

[CigarNut]

About six weeks... I was sick with something and then had some dental surgery shortly after...

[ktblunden]

About a month and a half when I had back surgery.

[Mattso3000]

You're old! :r :r

:sl:sl

I've went months without a cigar but I try not to. Mostly cold that stops me from smoking as I have no indoor smoking area at my house. Found a good B&M now and shouldn't have this problem in the future. Actually fairly annoyed it's not 11 yet so I can go have a cigar.

[Blak Smyth]

Hmmm seems a bit to PC to be true-(P

[Skywalker]

First 44 years of my life!

I didn't smoke, drink, or chew...

Winner!






I really wanted to go a different direction with the title of this thread, but resisted until now. By making a point that I wanted to go a different direction I creatively brought to light my thoughts but now after explaining my agenda I blew my smoothness. Arrgghhh.

[MrClean]

I had a sinus infection a few months ago, I think I went 10 days without a stick, I just knew it wouldn't taste right....nothing else did.

[Lanks85]

We're glad you finally came around! :noon

[688sonarmen]

About a year when Sea Duty was kicking my A. When I got back into them my coolidors had been spot on for a whole year and every cigar smoked as good as it possibly could, game me an idea on construction vs storage.

[tengel78]

A few months for me. But I am new to the cigar world and I'm becoming more and more regular.

[cjhalbrooks]

about two weeks when it was 19 deg. I am not allowed to smoke in the house

[Cenookie]

About a week once when I was sick.

[Skywalker]

Winner!

I wish I had discovered cigars much earlier in life. I was of the opinion that all cigars were the same. Once I smoked my first cigar, my curiosity got the better of me. I wanted see if something better than a Thompson cigar existed. I smoked a few crapy cigars before I discovered (with the help of people here) some really great cigars!:tu
