Here's a good option for fixing things Frank.

The 12 and DW are both very good indeed.

Balvenie DW is the 12... oh, wait... nevermind ya perv.

I sent you something but it was after you bombed me.

I know you always got my back, you're a good friend. but I'm just keeping a minimum amount of cigars at home these days.

Not quitting but definitely cutting back.

It got crazy years ago, aging and collecting...500 smokes were here. I know for some that's penny ante stuff but it took a long time to smoke, trade, give 'em all away until I was left with a sensible amount.

The best part of smoking a fine cigar had always been that it was like an appointment I looked forward to, knowing I kinda earned it like a reward...unlike what cigarettes were like decades ago when I'd woof one down if there was a five minute opening...cigs told me when it was time to smoke (almost always was) but cigars were special events.

Or so they were until I had soooo many that I smoked sometimes just because I was just bored, or just cuz the weather was decent, whatever. It robbed me of the pleasure.

I know after writing all this some azzhats are gonna say "so, you're low". HA!

Yup, by choice.

This is one of the reasons I don't smoke many small cigars. After quitting smoking cigarettes, small cigars remind me of cigarettes too much. If I can't sit down and relax and enjoy something bigger, I'll just wait until I can.

But I have way too many cigars. At my current consumption rate, I'm at least 4 years, maybe 5, before I'm out, and that would be in the impossible scenario where I don't buy any more.

I understand your take on this, but I prefer romusto and smaller rings...most of the time.

For me, cigars don't equate with cigarettes, just seem like different products affecting me and my sense of pleasure differently. At some point I became angry at cigarettes and that was the end of them forever. Cigars actually became a regular thing a few years after quitting cigs.
