How often do you smoke a cigar?

[groundhog]

I've just realised I answered this all wrong.
How often do you smoke a cigar?
Once.

My my Jizza.

That's an odd sentence.


Un-irregardless. The things are done a tad differently in Cuba. Perhaps noting our standards and the ideas of factories here, this would be a whip-able (metaphorically) offense.
But in Cuba, things are indeed a tad different. Before they're banded, it really doesn't matter to the roller what happens to the 7 leaves out of 1 000 000 being rolled that day. The only thing that is really accounted for is the daily (weekly, monthly, etc) are the bands because they actually have an imprinted number.

This is shown most at the Custom Roll benches at the LCdH where you can literally trade pants/shirts/shoes for cigars. A tip of a shirt goes much farther than money... But that's a topic for another day.
Point is. Different places, different times.

If you're ever game for a trip to Toronto, let me know and I'll show you around Cuba, Marc . I still know little to nil about the goings-on(relatively) But we'll go with a few seasoned Canucks who really know the place inside out!

So your friend steels from the factory and you smoke his ill begotten goods..... And you say this on an open forum?..... My my Jizza.

Three plus per day?????

Definitely. I try to get in a Punch Coronation or Royal Coronation everyday. They're my favourite smoke that I've "Pavlov Dogged" myself into believing it's the true 'CUBAN' smoke.

One for breakfast - whatever small smoke I want - normally a Petit Julieta or whatever they have opened.
One for lunch - preferably a custom rolled cigar.
Maybe one in between.
One for dinner - preferably another custom or something I found that day whilst shopping.
Definitely one after the dinner smoke, too.

It really helps because two times I've been, on the first day, my mate just gives me free Cohiba Robustos he swiped off the table at El Laguito. I have never bought a Cohiba Robusto in my life!

In the:
-Summer, 1-5 a week. Normally smoked 2-3 a day, once or twice a week.
-Spring/Autumn, 3-6 a week. Normally smoking 1-3 a day, once or thrice a week.
-Winter, 0-3 a week. Normally smoking 2+ a day once or twice a week.
-Cuba, 3-7 a day. Normally smoking 3+ a day.

The summer is absolutely horrendous for me. I hate when the weather goes above 27 deg C and I have places to be. The humidity fcks up my cigars and fcks me up, too...
Cuba is different. I have no where to be and the cigars don't need to be cherished as much. Mostly because after 7pm, I can't taste thing...

Indeed, An! A+ for you!!

I can't believe you've kept a whole tally... Did you document your habits and everything, too?

Of course I have!

[butternutsquashpie]

What can I say? I feel like I have some catching up to do!

That's a very good number for a beginner Groundhog! Just think without this site it could have taken you several yrs to work up to that level. You'd probably still have some savings in your account as well

[wolfie]

Spring , Saturday
Summertime , Saturday and mid week
Autumn , every other Saturday
Winter , one a month
holidays abroad , every day , these have always been the best smokes , sun , cigar , alcohol aaaaaaaaaand relax.
days off work , depends on time of year .

thats sorta the pattern ive followed looking back , but not set in stone , if i fancy a cigar il have one , if not i wont .

good thread , made me think and evaluate

[Wigan]

Hard one to answer as it really does vary. Generally a couple at the weekend but if I get chance or have a shifty day at work or maybe just feel like then I will have some through the week. I have been off this week and smoked so much I am not sure I will be able to have my weekend smokes. I don't mean enjoy my weekend smokes, I mean literally cannot smoke anymore. I thought I was treating myself but to be honest I think I would have better off having less.

Every 2 or 3 days, it seems..
Have smoked 93 since I started in June.

[Sludgie]

One or two a day most weekends, not usually during the week unless I'm not working or I can get into London and combine with a JJ Fox or Boisdale trip...

Generally one a week, sometimes a second if I've an evening free and its nice outside. On holiday it can be more but don't usually due to cost and frankly not having that many holidays. Only had two a night one and that was a 12 hours of debauchery for my other halves 25th birthday.
