For me, 2-3 a week, unless on vacation...then it is 1 or 2 a day. I too am a mood smoker. A Padron 3000 Maduro with coffee is nice, or a LFD Double Liguero with port, an A. Turrent Churchill with a good ale, etc.

Don't have a favorite that I smoke religiously, but I usually stay around $4-$7, but have spent up to $25 on a cigar. Those come out when the mood is right.

First off, wow Vinny, you average five cigars a day?!.. ("3 to 7"). Is this normal for others here? I would say that I average 5-6 a week right now. I look forward to a cigar at night on my deck, or after a great meal with some wine or whiskey. I see them more as treats and a vessel to relaxation.

I do smoke a lot of cigars to be sure, I just dont count them all the time, I am a retired chef & part time sales rep for Tabacalera Tropical( from seed to ash ) ,I sell to shops in Western Pa & W.Va, so when I am smoking I am working, ( what a great job )being retired I get to spend a lot of time in my smoking room at home or in the car, the sun roof open & smoke pouring out , I am a slave to my taste buds I enjoy a cigar with my morning walk & coffee before breakfast , depending on what I am going to do the rest of the day determins what I do next, get in the car & go sell or sit in the Qtr.Deck ( my smoking room) & Taste what the compitition is doing , by the time the second pot of coffee is done , I might take a nap or do more research ( thats my favorite part of the job.) I go to cigar events in the area, conserts , or some times I just go down to the river & conduct more research , it is a TUFF LIFE , but since some one needs to do it , well----- it might as well be ME .
Enjoy, Vince
