How many cigars do you smoke on an average day? Do you try to limit them, or do you just smoke em all day?

I usaully only smoke one per day if that. Sometimes on the weekend I will have two in a day. Sometimes I will go a few day without smoking one at all. I also notice that I tend to smoke many more cigars in the spring and summer because I must smoke outdoors. In the winter I only smoke about one stick per week if that. How about everyone else.

Usually I smoke 4 per 18 holes, and give out another 4 or five to my playing partners (that's where my lone wolf's and hamilton house stock went!). On a normal day 1 or 2.

Atleast one during the week per day and on weekends sometimes 3 or 4 per day! 18 holes is good for several. Saw a Lone Wolf band on the tee box at Pelican Hills in Southern California last time I played there, so I guess the theory was if the guy is gonna pay 250 bucks to play 18 holes (overpriced by huge amounts of money) go cheap on cigars!

$250!! Shesh!

I smoke about 5-6 per week since some days I don't have one at all. I also smoke outdoors and am limited even in the summer as to how often I can smoke on our uncovered deck.

As many of you know, we get a lot of rain here even in the summer (It poured on the 4th and usually does.) so that has a lot to do with it.

One advantage to this situation is that I end up with a great collection of well aged smokes when I do find myself able to smoke more often.

But seriously folks, I am fortunate to live in a fairly warm climate so year round smoking is not generally a problem. I usually light up after work and then again later in the evening (more often on weekends) although I don't always finish a cigar in one sitting. I'll light the same one up 2,3,4 times until I figure its a goner. Using this formula I figure I have about 7 to 10 a week.

My totals were for the summer. I cut down quite a bit during the winter since I'm not allowed to smoke in "my" house!(That I'm about to lose)

I usually have one a day during the week, 2-4 per day on weekends, but I smoke outside and the mosquitos have driven me in the last 2 nights without me finishing. Texas has its bugs!

I keep it between 3 & 6 a day, but I find it's getting harder to not smoke more. I have a "smoking room" with a bionaire unit and a closed door in my basement where I can escape for a smoke and a drink. It works out well and keeps my family from complaining. I only smoke in my daily driver and not in the family ride.

I read once that George Burns regularly smoked 12 cigars each day ... if we were to assume he slept 8 hours each day, he smoked one cigar per 80 minutes of every day ... if he slept 6 hours, he still smoked one every 90 minutes ... Damn, that sure makes me feel like a moderate smoker, even on my heaviest days ...

I always smoke a cigar in the evening after dinner is done and the dog fed ... the dog knows the routine and begins salivating for her food when she sees me getting a 'gar out of the humidor (she eats so damn fast, I can't get one out and get it lit before she finishes, so I have to get a head start), then smoke it while we take an after-dinner walk.

On the majority of weekdays, I have a quick bite and a short smoke at lunch time or if I don't get the short smoke for one reason or another I sometimes light it before leaving The City after work or in the car on the way home from the train station ...

Weekends, it just depends on what's doing ... average is one in the morning after breakfast while reading the paper, one sometime during the afternoon, and the usual one at night, but I can go as high as 5 on those days I don't have enough else to do ...

In warm weather I usually have 1 maybe 2 after work and supper during the week. On weekends, usally one after each meal. Sometimes four. Depends if friends sit around the pool or we cook out. In winter (here in New England)I smoke a little less. Mostly on one of my closed in porches. In winter I will go out or to the beach and smoke. But only if the temps. arn't below 15 degrees and there isn't much wind. I smoke 6" 50's or larger, so it takes awhile. I don't like to re-lite my smoke for a later time. Stick it out till' the end. One last thing, in my younger days I would smoke 6-8 per day. Those were the day's!? ;)

I could smoke 3 or 4 a day (and did for a while), but I limit myself to maybe 3 or 4 a week, if that much. I try to moderate my cigar intake. I mostly smoke on the golf course, so there could be 1 or 2 a week if I miss my weekly round.

All my smoking is done outside, if at home, or at restaurants and bars. I smoke 1 or 2 per week in the summer. In the winter, I smoke around 1 per day. The winters here are brutal, but I work a job that keeps me busy in the summer and gives me a lot of days off in the winter. So I bundle up and take the dog outside and smoke cigars while I work on her training. During hunting season (September to January) I will smoke 2 or 3 on the days that I go hunting, which by January is about 4 days per week. Anyhow, by the end of summer, I have a great stash of aged cigars because I buy so many and smoke so few.
