Been smoking too much (5-7 per week).....that's twice what I used to smoke.
I need to get back to 2 or 3 per week.
other than a fiver from a split with Fiddler last June, I stopped buying 11 months ago. The plan was to smoke through or give away all of my collection...I guess a few hundred cigars.
Finally hit zero about 6 weeks ago, bought two to smoke over Christmas weekend, was gifted another, and that's been it. Needed to remove the large inventory as I found I was lighting up many evenings without even really desiring or planning the time. Found I was not getting as much pleasure smoking so often but was in fact doing it to stave off boredom.
I could tell it wasn't like a cig addiction but wanted to reassess my relationship with cigars. Happy to report there is no withdrawal. None in the house has eliminated daydreaming about smoking when bored. At the very least I found I am in control of this "habit".
So my plan is to go get a smoke or 3 here and there, but the days of collecting and aging are probably over.
Not sure what I'll do about Cubans though as my private stock peaked at about 80% cc and it's tough to just get a few at a time that are ready to go...hope this is the biggest issue I face in life.
