No I havent considered giving up cigars. I dont smoke that much to begin with, as most of its done during the warm months and even then its 1 maybe 2 a day if Im relaxing up at the lake. At the rate Im goin I have enough sticks to last 3 years lol

My ultimate goal is one a week or so and eliminate that daily stuff.
Just thinking a break will be good until I can start that regimen.

I know what u mean. When I first started I would get little things on the inside of my cheeks. They were like little I dont know how to describe them but were like small skin tags that were filled with blood. I was worried but then I would get them even if I didnt smoke. I think I get them in my sleep and accidentally bite my cheeks. Im good friends with my dentist his family and the other dentists at the office and he smokes cigars. Are they bad for you? Probably but Ive never heard of someone dying due to cigar related cancers, its always lung cancer from cigarettes and jaw/esophagus from chewin tobacco. The one a week thing will be good because you will be able to look forward to the relaxation and everything that goes along with cigar smoking.

Not worried about those types of health concerns.
Heck, my primary care physician loves to see me in his office.
I take him Cuban cigars. He is an avid cigar smoker and enjoys the ones I give him.
Needless to say, I never, ever, ever have a problem getting in to see him.

When I say "health" I am referring more to the way I seem to be feeling after I have a cigar and this all seems to be in the last month and a half or so.
Perhaps attributed to a cold that both the wife and I have had linger. That may be the real underlying root cause.

Carlos I think You nailed it right here. The last wave of colds that ran through my house sent everyone to the doctors. Each doctor prescribed an antibiotic and Mucinex. My wife and I still have lingering coughs, remember I started right around when we met Ji in MIami. I have thoroughly enjoyed my last few cigars but have paid the price the next day.

Tony,
That may be it for me also then.
The coughing the next day really makes me not want one again for a while.

Bingo! We have a winner. I am not a daily smoker and I can't see myself being a daily smoker either. I am mostly a fair weather smoker. I think if you just slow way down you will find a balance. Also, a great side affect is it makes aging your sticks a lot easier to accomplish.

I'm feeling the same way Carlos; I haven't bought cigars in a year and a half, I only smoke at herfs (the last one being in October), and I'm not logged into CA all day like I used to be. Could just be the winter blues for me though.

To simply answer your question. NO! I'm no quitter.
