I was just curious about how long everyone here has been smoking cigars. I started just a little before the boom. I've slowed down on how many I smoke in the last few years but I can't imagine quitting.

So tell me... how long you been at it?

I would say off and on for about ten years.

On and off for the past 30 years, but mostly for the past eight years and more seriously for the past two.

Do King Edward's count? If so 29 years. If only premiums count 25years. I never cared about where the tobacco came from or which priming the wrapper was from or who the master roller was or what cigar Rush Limbaugh smoked, etc... until I got bored with internet porn. I just picked a cigar and tried it, if liked it I smoked it again.
I picked up a coffe table book from CA about the cuban cigars and after reading it I became interested the details of the whole cigar industry.

...come in here dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far.....

about 7 years.

i dont count the swisher sweets and Phillys days.

Well cigarettes about 9+ years, I have been smoking cigars for about 8 months, my hope is to gradually switch from my cigarette habit to an all cigar habit. If nothing else I notice that I don't smoke cigarettes nearly as much as I used to so, I think it is working.
