Has anyone else ever gone through periods where they smoke either WAY more or WAY less than they normally do? I've found that over the last several weeks, I've increased consumption fairly dramatically. I doubt it's a trend, I believe more of a transient spike. But I've been going though my stash at an alarming rate over the last two months!!

spike? no, you are just getting warmed up.

increase your stash. find some decent inexpensive cigars. takoma @ $3 or &4 a 5 pack.

i'm sure some of the guys have other ones that are cheap and not too bad.

Robby ... I tend to find myself smoking more, when I am feeling anxious or depressed ...

Take a deep breath, brother ...

The key is ... you may be smokig more, but are you enjoying it?!?

Sometimes the comfort of just the solitary act of smoking a good cigar is a desirable thing. I have, on occasion, reached the point that I feel this is one pleasure that can't be intruded upon, taken away, diminished, or otherwise tarnished. Sometimes it seems like it's the best thing I have going. Non-smokers will never understand. Smoke on............it's a unique, subjective, pleasure........

My consumption tends to be driven more by how busy I am and what the weather is like. It will fluctuate dramatically during the year based on these factors.

I've encountered this too.

There are periods where I crave cigars and have 2-3 a day...

And then there are periods where I just don't feel in the mood for a smoke.

And right now that I just haven't been craving cigars a whole lot, I've been smoking more quality, higher-up smokes, wheras when I'm consuming a lot, I usually go for inexpensive cigars (though never bad cigars)

I smoke more when it it warm and I have my friends to smoke with, hardly smoke by myself.

GIG'EM,

heh, yeah, they always make more 🙂 I'll build it back up one day. Not depressed, but there is a lot on the plate. I'm having to take a month off from work to finish up with my folks estate and get my Dad settled. So December should/WILL be a better month for all. Thanks and everyone take care and enjoy the holidaze! I think the season is officially here now.

I'm smoking at least 5 cigars a day lately. I figured the average cost of each stick is $5 (i'm being modest)times 5 sticks a day, I'm looking at, at least $25 in cigars a day. And to think I quit smoking cigarettes because they kept increasing the price. ($7.50 a pack)
Anyway, I wouldn't care if the gars were costing me $50 a day, I'd still love them, and also love trying different one on a daily basis.

I have increased also. Up to 3-4 a day. I mix in some that I got at Cbid for 50 cents each that I like quite a bit. Actually everyone I have sent them to has liked them.
