Too much stress smokes?

Sometimes a break is just what the doctor ordered. Stay away until you find yourself craving a cigar...not for the habit, or the nicotine, or what you hope it will bring...but craving one for the flavor.

Clayton, Stress is a definite problem in enjoyment activities! No doubt about it! Hopefully your upcoming job interview will result in a change that will reduce or eliminate those stresses! I made myself slow down on the number I smoke, and I also gave up even lighting a cigar if I know I will not have the time and environment to relax while I'm smoking. As a result, I probably smoke at least half as much as I used to, but I do enjoy it much more when I do get to smoke a stick! Your current situation may be such that you just cannot "un-stress". If so, then taking a few weeks off from smoking will keep you from wasting a lot of your cigars!

For some reason, the movie scene in Trial and Error where Jeff Daniels and Charlize Theron are shooting old commodes comes to mind as a possible stress relief method

. I've got the shotgun and shells, if you can find the toilets to blast!

Agreed. Don't have a cigar to relieve stress - have one because you want to have a cigar. You'll enjoy it then. Hang in there.
