quitting cigs, keeping cigars?

I quite cigarettes 15 months ago after about 12 years of smoking. I had to completely get rid of all of my "triggers" for about a month, which included alcohol and coffee.

I didn't alter my cigar smoking at all because even it I had wanted them to, they don't act as a cigarette replacement. It's a very different kind of satisfaction (which I'm sure you're familiar with already).

It has gotten a lot easier but I still get cravings for a cigarette once in a while, especially when I'm on a long drive, or having a drink with other smokers.

Also quit September 30, 2007. Unfortunately, I still haven't shook the nicotine lozenges ... still eating them like candy ... but absolutely no desire to pick up a cigarette. I have found that I enjoy the taste of cigar much more since I quit cigarettes.
