I've been wondering how often everyone smokes? I've been enjoying a stick about 5 days a week. I was probably closer to 6 days, but cut back a bit.

I smoke 3-4 a week. Usually every other evening.

I used to be a daily smoker until my son was born and now I smoke when I get a chance.

1-2 a week if lucky. The real answer is I don't smoke enough.

2-3 a week for me.
Here lately I've been smoking less cigars and more pipes, but I imagine when the weather warms up a bit, it will be about 50/50 cigars to pipes.

Late Spring/Summer/Fall probably 2-3 a week. Winter time only 1 every other week if that.

With this freezing weather I'm down to 1-3 per week. :(
But during the warm weather I usually get in 2 per day.

I go through phases where I might smoke 1-3 a week, then go without for 2-3 weeks after that, so I probably avg. about 1 a week.

This! I probably average 1 every other week over the course of the year (reading that, why do I need so many cigars?!)

was 1 a day until the cold weather now I've only had 1 or 2 in the last couple weeks, although this nasty cold/sinus infection isn't helping either

"Need" is definitely not the qualifier to use when rationalizing cigar accumulation...we can be honest, it is all about WANT!!!!! And that is okay.

Used to smoke cigars daily. Now I still smoke daily, but more often it's a bowl or two in a pipe.

Normally 1-3 a week. Not much time beyond that to smoke. Unless I find some good 20 minute smokes to enjoy on the way home from work.

I went 6-7 a week because in the winter time I don't go outside to sit often so most cigars are while I'm driving, AND I smoke a pipe too so I don't count that in the cigar totals.
In the days when I sold cigars, it was very common to smoke 5-6 a day. A long heavy day would be 10

Wow. My throat would be like Sahara desert after smoking that much.

Long days were few and far between. And I did smoke a lot of PC's & Robustos. No way I could hit those numbers with Double Corona & Churchill sizes.
I did have some customers that would put me to shame. I think they sleep with a humidor under their pillow.

Did you have to buy all of the cigars you smoked while at work? Were there any perks to selling cigars like getting to grab one off the shelf per day, etc? Always wondered if there were perks to the people working at the B & M.

Would love to smoke everyday but with work, training, and a family I'm privileged to get out to the garage on sat afternoon. -20 doesn't help my cause either.

I didn't work at a B&M, I sold 49 states via the internet. The Perks were I sold so many boxes a month, that I didn't pay for "MY" cigars for several years.

I usually smoke much more in the nicer weather, but I recently found a lounge that's actually close by, so I've been going there a few times a week. Still can't wait for nicer weather though.

I've never worked at a B&M but I did see a advertisement for a job opening at a cigar bar in Little Rock.
Each day you got a cigar of your choice up to $12 value each shift you worked. Anything over $12, you just paid the difference.

I like to start my day off with that second cup of coffee and a Connecticut around 11am. Then join friends in the late afternoon for drink and a little heaver smoke. Around 10pm I will try to get in a maduro. That's on a good day. Very seldom miss a day. So, probably average around 12-15 sticks a week. Thank you cbid.

1-2 in winter, weekends almost exclusively. I bump it up to 2-3 in the summer, because I'll sit outside occasionally during the week after work and knock one down.

I just re-started enjoying cigars last summer. and probably had 1 - 2 a week in the nice weather outside. Now that it's winter, wife approves my seat next to the fireplace hearth so the smoke goes up the chimney. I'm running 3 - 4 a week now. Opposite of most of you, I'm sure. Might be due to cabin fever. I'm going through a lot more firewood than I did last year though.
I go from 2-3 a week in the Winter to 5-6 a week in the Summer. I love to sit outside in the Summer, read a book and have a smoke.

0-1 per week. It's closer to 0 in the winter and closer to 1 in the summer. There have been weeks where I've had 2, but the number of 0's is so high compared to the 2's that the average is still easily below 1.

right now 1 a week w the weather but usually in the 2-3 a week range once some warmer weather comes
a loaded question how often do I breath, thats how often I smoke.

I used to be a one stick on very special occasions, since the end of last summer when I decided to figure out which cigars and what I liked in them, I have been averaging one stick a day...got to slow down though...I'm alway watching my budget and it can get expenssive.

The weather has a lot to do with how many. During the warmer months when I'm chillin' and grillin', I'll do 10 a week easy.....

I average 3 a day at work. You would think working in a B&M you would actually get to enjoy them. Most of the cigars I smoke I don't get a chance to enjoy. I do get a discount, but the only free ones are from reps.

Just too cold atm to smoke more.... so we go to the local shitkickers bar, sorry Rusty Spur and watch my missus get drunk and we watch all them folks in plaid shirts and cowboy hats being worn without a hint of irony. Love it! Always smoke one or two between us up there and have great fun!

Depends on the weather, work, kids' schedules, and free time. I would love to smoke more but for now it is 2 or 3 a week on a good week. I can go a month or 2 without a cigar. Not by choice but just because I am busy. I want to relax and enjoy a cigar so I tend to not smoke if I do not have the time to commit.

Cigars, maybe .5 a month I guess would be my average throughout a year?
I can go months without ever lighting up a cigar, but then I go on a stick-kick and will smoke 5-7 a week for 6 weeks straight. It depends on my mood and what flavor profiles I am looking for.

My humidor is laughable. I am at less than 1 a week. I do enjoy a cigar during the summer with more frequency than in the winter though.

A cigar a day is perfect for me. when the weekend rolls around it might be 2 a day.

If I'm out smoking a stick, generally make an evening out of it. So 1 or 3 in a night isn't totally out of the question. I shoot to do that at least twice a week.

It varies for me...Summer time is a bit more often...If camping, hunting, on a relaxing vacation, it's usually one a day. If it's the normal work week time, especially in colder months, it can be once or twice a month.
