Background information:
I’ve been smoking cigars for over a quarter of a century, mostly long-fillers from Honduras or Nicaragua.
In recent years, the following ritual has developed. When I finish work around 10:15 p.m., I go outside to the garden and smoke 1 to 3 cigars there. I often talk on the phone with friends who live far away while doing so. I only stay inside if the weather is extremely bad. On some days when I have late appointments outside the home, I also don’t go out to the garden to smoke. On vacation or while traveling for visits or business, I sometimes smoke during the day instead of in the evening, and in those cases I’m more likely to smoke cigarillos than cigars. When I’m sick or feeling tired, I don’t smoke at all.
Each month I smoke between 5 and 200 cigars (extreme values)—usually somewhere between 30 and 90. Since 2005, I’ve been keeping track of how many and which cigars and cigarillos I smoke each month. I’m a nerdy cigar aficionado.
1,000@Hypermental wow! way back when I kept a small humidor my faves were maduros & I particularly liked excalibur dark knights. do you got a goto yourself, or is your collection more diverse?
@Stralor I have a medium-sized humidor with four drawers, and I place an order once a month from an online retailer that carries thousands of different cigars. I try new cigars very often, but I generally prefer maduros in the Robusto size. Best regards!
