How many cigars a day? If smoking more then one should they be the same? Can you smoke to many a day? Time between each?

Are you asking how many everyone smokes, or how much is too much?

Personally I only smoke one a day, if that.
 
If I have the time I will smoke as many as I can, otherwise it's 1 a day or so for me
 
i personally only have time for one a day. however, if you smoke more than that i would reccomend that they are not the same.

as the day progresses, the cigars you smoke should get stronger. your palate has a tendency to get burnd out as the day goes on and you will need a fuller cigar to satisfy you.

if you smoke one cigar and then immediatly smoke another make sure that the two cigars have a completely different flavor profile. if you dont the second cigar may taste dull because your taste buds have been tasting the same thing for at least an hour.
 
As many as you can. I usually only have time fo one a day, but on sundays I can get lucky and get 2 or 3 in.
 
Depends on your flavor of the day.

IF I was lucky enough to smoke more than 1, I usually start out with something milder and work my way up to the full bodied level.

When I went the opposite way (Onyx to Cusano, for example), I couldn't really enjoy the Cusano as the Onyx over powered my palate.
 
I smoke the same cheap cigar all day long & sometimes night.
I like to through in a nice cigar at least once a day.
Then there are days I smoke nothing but nice cigars.
3 nice cigars in a day is a good day!

I used to be a cigar whore...I would smoke 3-5 a day, every day. These days I'm down to 1 or 2 a week, mainly because I don't have the time.
 
Ok I am smoking 3 or four a day. How do I know the "stronger" from the "weaker" ? Is there a list?

I just have a box of singles. I have most of a box of a CAO sampler and three laflor singles left.

It was posted I should start the day with a "weaker" cigar then move up. Is there a way to tell what cigar is stronger then the others in the humidor? Smell maybe? I understand that some are stronger then others but how can you tell before smoking it?

You can find the description of the cigar online.

Start with a mild cigar. Then smoke a medium bodied cigar. Then a full bodied cigar.

Eat first. :lol:
Or have a bucket handy! :barf:
By eating, he means a LARGE 1" cut prime rib or t-bone with all the trimmings, a large potato, and anything else you can fit in your belly.

When you get to the diploma, just take it easy with the smoke.
 
Sorry Doc, but I'm taking wagers that Travis weighs a little more than you do....
I don't know that he needs all THAT much of a meal....
:lol:
