I am starting to get the same feelings as I had for cigarettes.
Actually, starting is a bad word.
More like I have the same feelings.
I have only smoked three cigars so far this month, with the latest being yesterday. Prior to that, two weeks ago.
For me, that is rare as I can smoke as many as I want as I work from home and have great weather. Up to December, I was averaging between 1 to 2 a day. Suddenly, no mas.
I tried one yesterday. A Boli CE. Truly can say I enjoyed it. Just didn't seem to enjoy me. Spent the night coughing a bit. Feel like I have that bronchitis feeling again from when I was a kid. Just seems that all of a sudden, they don't go well with me.
All this bothers me as I truly enjoy cigars.
I enjoy getting together with folks and sharing cigars.
I enjoy the times when dad, my son and I enjoy a cigar together.
I think I am going to try to avoid them for a while and see how things go.
Maybe my body is telling me to back off and maybe I should listen.
Hope I can handle the St. Valentine's Day/Real Man Herf.

You know, TBH I go in spurts and I just don't let it get to me. If it pleases me to smoke 2 cigars a day every day then that's what I do. If I don't feel like smoking at all, even for weeks or months then I don't smoke.
My advice is to just not think about it or try to analyze it as cigars are for the purpose of pleasure and as soon as you try to factor other things into it you're no longer doing it for pleasure.
The tl;dr (too long; didn't read) version is to just go with the flow and whatever happens happens. Even if you never smoke another cigar in your life or smoke 5 cigars per day it's all OK.
Cheers,
