Thinking of quitting smoking

[Zeebra]

You'll probably never get the desire back. Send me all your cigars.

smoke less often. I consider cigar smoking a treat, I don't rush it or smoke in the car or when I only have half an hours time, I only smoke when I can relax and fully enjoy it. Also, if you smoke less you can use the same money to buy fewer, but better quality cigars.

also, I find a lot of they newer cigars very strong and spicy and they tend to mangle the palate, no balance and all strength. Try smoking just one or two cigars a week for a few months, I guarantee you will look forward to those cigars more.

I concur -- I smoke once or twice a week (depending, of course), so it's something to look forward to.

Yep. Sometimes I do take a little time off. By the time I'm jonesin' for a cigar again, my body's usually telling me I'm ready to get back on the horse.

Moderation.... key to life

See my post in the seeking anejos post.

Like I said I'll being watching.

What's that supposed to mean ??

What that means is that you've done something (not entirely pleasant or acceptable) and have attracted the attention of one of the most respected members of this community. In effect, you've been put on notice.

I've found that the times that I've cut down my cigar intake, I enjoy the smoking experience more. Actually, that doesn't just pertain to smoking. Moderation is a good thing, but is often a challenge for me.

At any rate, I too got to a point a while back when I was finding that smoking a cigar just wasn't as enjoyable as it once was. Instead of quitting, I decided to step it up a notch and smoke better cigars... problem solved. However, my monthly cigar budget is twice what it once was - don't tell my wife. :whistling:

Or go this way.... it works also... but then what happens when you get burnt out on expensive smokes.

I am also thinking of cutting back. The last few cigars I smoked have not been very enjoyable. I feel like 2-3 weeks of no smoking should help me enjoy them more when I do smoke.

...Don't cut back - just be more snobbish... Smokin' nice cigars in the first place will not ruin your palate...
