Aging Cigars

I have found a great way to age cigars. I went to the dentist the other day and beginning December 15th I am going to have a couple of oral surgeries. One to do a bone graph, another to set an implant and then the final stage in putting in an implant. During the healing time I am not allowed to smoke as it can cause complications and delays in the healing process as this is for a front tooth.

So, how does this help with the cigar aging process?

As everyone knows, I have more of a buying "problem" rather than a smoking "problem"; the process I spoke of above is approximately a 1 year process. That's right I have to be smoke free ( for the most part ) for a year.

Until then, I will be a friggin' chimney........................

    Wow... Sorry to hear it Todd. Let me know if you need storage space. I have plenty and the rent is cheap.

    I hope everything goes well and you heal up properly. Take care Todd.

    Winter is the only time I can get some good months on my stash usually. Im not one who has the means to amass a huge collection so Im lucky to get 3 months rest on a cigar. Dont smoke much at all in winter so im looking to make a few purchases to rest at least till spring/summer. Wow a year with no cigars sounds brutal, I will at least usually suffer and freeze my butt off at least once a week in winter to get a smoke in. Good luck man.

    I don't want to rain on your parade, but you may want to reconsider being a "chimney" up until your first surgery. if it were me, I'd start the quitting process right now (sucks I know)
    What you are going in for is not insignificant, and a smoke free month will make you orally that much healthier, and the likelihood of good results increases exponentially when compared to smoking heavily up until the day you go under the knife.....
    (just my 2 cents of unsolicited advice)

    Yes Rick, thankfully I'll still be able to drink. I hope that the timeframe is shorter than expected and I think if I can stay away from the cigars I can get the time frame down to 8 months. Luckily for me I don't smoke too much during the winter time so I am only really out maybe 6 months.

    Todd I'm sorry to hear that man but atleast you're finding the silver lining on it. All your stuff is gonna get some great age on it. Man that's gonna be one plume filled 20 ct!
  • Russ55Russ55 Posts: 2,765 ✭✭
    Damn Todd, I haven't had one in a month, 4 weeks tomorrow to be precise, and it's annoying. I imagine you'll get used to it after a while though. The buying has dropped away completely for me. I've got no desire to buy what I can't enjoy. Maybe you'll save some money, or maybe your buying will get worse. I could see it going either way.

    Best of luck bro! Also consider buying something special right before surgery that can be your first cigar when recovered. That way you have a whole year rest and it can bookend this chapter.
