not smoking

Do any of you ever go through a period of time when you just don't buy or smoke cigars for awhile? I have been busy as hell and haven't had time to enjoy a cigar in a month. I guess the upside is that the newest sticks in my humi already have 4 months on them and quite a few 1 year+. Hopefully I can take a day off this weekend and enjoy a smoke.

I do bit not for lack of trying. I work some pretty effed up hours, and when I'm on the ship I'm either smoking 2 a day or none for days. I try to fit it on at bare minimum once a week, it's "vinnys relax time"0

I go through those phases... It comes and goes... I'm the exact opposite, most of the summer I haven't had the time/urge to smoke... not that it's a bit chilly I'm on the UPTICK!bobd:Do any of you ever go through a period of time when you just don't buy or smoke cigars for awhile?

Try to make time. It will relax you.
I know that when I'm really busy and getting stressed, I take the time to stop and enjoy a smoke. Since I've been smoking more this summer and now into Fall, my blood pressure is down 25 points!0 -
I went 8 months with out smokeing I was haveing alot of medical problems. I often go several weeks in the winter without smokeing since I mostly smoke outside and almost always work crazy shifts0

You think we can do a study and get the people in the medical field to say cigars are good for your blood pressureYankeeMan:Try to make time. It will relax you.

Unfortunately, Nicotine is a known vasoconstrictor. It may raise your blood pressure, but nothing relaxes me like a cigar.jship079:

I go through phases - I usually try to have a cigar on Sundays since it is my relax day. Occasionally I'll have one during the week but I just never have the time and not that big of a fan of smoking by myself outside in the dark.0

Having just started into this back in july I was able to have a stick usually every other day so maybe three four a week....with the cooler weather and a new england winter I know that I don't have much time to enjoy the outdoors, but hopefully it will be a milder winter cause I hate smokin indoors.0

I've had a sinus infection and been busy as hell. I'm hoping that the next few days I will get a couple of sticks in. Been too long for me.0

I'm in one right now, it freaking sucks. Especially when my humi is 2 states north of me, poor thing has been drying out for 5 weeks.bobd:Do any of you ever go through a period of time when you just don't buy or smoke cigars for awhile?

Last night was the first day I felt like I was actually getting over it...lit up a LP rat...felt great!Sandman1am:I've had a sinus infection and been busy as hell.

As busy as I get sometimes, I always try to make time for a smoke, either it being at least once or week or what.
"Long ashes my friends."

I did know this but was trying to have a little hope thanks for stealing it LOLdocbp87:

Im a seasonal / streaky smoker. I will have no sticks for a month, then 1 every other day for a couple weeks. Also, during the winter and hot summer it is a bit tough to get through a smoke.0

This is me as well. Before the 4 I had on Saturday it had been a while, about a month I guess. And at least a month before that too. Hopefully now that the weather is a bit cooler and I can pull out the smoking coat I'll get some more smokes in!Fourtotheflush:Im a seasonal / streaky smoker.

My main factor is the general business of life. It's counterintuitive for managing stress, but as life gets busier and busier I have less time for cigars. I've gone a month without one once, but generally try to keep it to once a week at a minimum.

Ive only been smoking for a month or so now. and its been off and on. depends on work and how cold it is since i cant smoke inside. some weeks i had 4-5 some only 1-2. Will see what happens this winter here in NH hope its a mild one.0

It used to be one a day for me. Lately it's been one every other day with school starting back up. Such is life.0

Pretty steady at 3 or 4 a week. Sometimes 3 in one day though.0

I'm feeling much better today. I'm hoping that my dad comes over soon so we can enjoy a few while the weather is nice. Glad to hear you are feeling better Nick.Nick2021:

Yeah, like everyone else here, over the years I seem to fluctuate a bit. Usually I'm a 1-2 per week kind of guy, except around the holidays when that goes way up. But sometimes life/work gets in the way, and sometimes the budget gets in the way. It has definitely been harder for me this year with a 9 month old little dude to take care of, but man, making time for a smoke is sometimes the most important thing you can do in a week. Its like a mental reset button when your fried.
Btw, robustos are your friend when you don't have much time.0 -
Fat chance of that. I do have to go to the doctor's next week and when she sees the lower BP, I'm going to tell her why. I'm anxious to see what she says.jship079:

You pay her obscene amounts of money to put her hand up your butt... Either she's a hooker or you are WAY to into ventriloquism!0 -

I got back on the wagon last night! Sweet thing was that I finally got to stick A of the mystery stick game.......too bad I have no clue what it was.0

When I'm busy, or low on spare cash. Even still I tend to find time, and still browse the sites. I don't really need to buy cigars. I could theoretically stop buying and probably still have enough cigars for years. I love a good deal though. I do force myself to take a break from cigars for a few days, maybe a week when I want to refresh my palate. Especially when I want to try some new sticks. It helps me pick up and appreciate the subtleties. I've also found I enjoy the cigar more if it's not an everyday occurrence.bobd:Do any of you ever go through a period of time when you just don't buy or smoke cigars for awhile?
