Is a little strange to return to these forums after as much time. Several years ago it was participant assets, when the format of the forum was very different from the present one.

I live in the City of Mexico and in February I will turn 30 years of age. My history with the habanos begins when my determination and the common sense takes stop smoking cigarretes. In that time I used to smoke more of a package for day and my health was in risk.

I always liked the habanos, is a familiar inheritance appreciating a good habano. But in my times of smoker of cigarretes, like any smoker, the sense of the taste becomes excrement and I haven´t sense the dimension of a good cigar can offer.

Five years of not smoking cigarretes took me to the extraordinary world of senses of the cigars. This time was enough to me to acomplish a great stock of fine habanos. 3 excellent humidors and a self made humidor to storage 20 boxes. 90% Habanos.

After smoke at least 1 cigar a day I was able to to distinguish flavors, to identify the identifiable thing in a habano. I perfected to the art to smoke cigars. I was happy!

The problem was that, after 6 years of not smoking, a situation makes me fall again to smoke cigarretes.

Little by little the flavor of cigars was less enjoyable, knew that it was my sense of the taste affected by the damn Marlboro. I knew that it did not have to waste an aged fine habano in paladar again badly educated.

I fell again.

Well, my stock of Habanos started to increased, and I have to stop buying more boxes.

Now, I announce to you gentleman that I will quit smoking again cigarretes this days and for good.

I know that my perfectly stocked habanos are waiting to me to start the adventure again.

Wish me luck!

Best regards,
Xavier

Good luck, Javier! Smile I never liked cigarettes at all, but in the past few years have come to enjoy the taste of a fine cigar. Never tried los cubanos, though, and I turned 30 long ago. One of these days, it will be my turn.

Check the link at the end out. Worked for me. I tried 2 cigarettes after the treatment (drinking heavily both times) and put them out after one puff. I have NO desire for them anymore and can't believe I ever smoked them when there was so many fine cigars to sample. auricular therapy






Peace.

Yup, first time I quit cigs for 3 months gained 5 pounds and started again. (did not lose the weight) Quit again this April, have made it to December. Very difficult and gained 5 more pounds. Very little desire for cigs, but they sometimes call me even now!

Main motivation to stay off is if I quit again, I'll gain more weight, and even though I smoke 3-5 gars a week, I will get a huge discount on my life premium very soon. Which means I can buy more 'gars! Big Grin

Good luck quittin'!
