Special occasion?

[Old Smokey]

What constitutes as a special occasion? I am getting better, but I have struggled with smoking and enjoying many of my best (perceived) cigars and only very rarely smoking them. Maybe just waking up should qualify as a special occasion?

Don't get me wrong, IMO I smoke well, but I have some that I have never tried that I have had for almost 3 years. It really seems stupid to not smoke them.

Anyone else struggle with this? What is it, some kind of pride of ownership?

I'm with ya, brother. I have a bunch of "special occasion" cigars that never seem to get smoked because I'm waiting for some monumental occasion which never seems to come.

I'm starting to come around to the thinking that smoking said cigar IS the special occasion. The day becomes special - get it?

Sounds right. Tomorrow I am meeting a friend at the lounge and I am going to take and smoke from the best I have. I think I will grab one for him too.

Don't age any, other than the brief time they may spend in the humidor before being set alight, sure do like getting my hands on some with age. Figure cigars are meant to be smoked, so that's what I do.

Every day I wake up and get out of bed feeling good is a special occasion. So many people younger than me passing away,
I feel special every day

Amen Don! I took my first ambulance ride a couple month's ago. My wife said I had some kind of seizure and looked like I quit breathing as my face turned blue. Doctors never figured out what happened. So I now go with "Everyday is a holiday, and every meal is a banquet". I started smoking stuff I was tucking away.....

Couldn't have said it any better!

The "special" smokes are kept for a time when I can sit back and enjoy it uninterrupted.
If a special event pops up, I pull out the best stick have & that's typically something I know I will enjoy!

Smoking my best cigars always feels like I'm taking money out of my savings. I guess it's because I usually only have one of each of my best. If I had several or a box, I'd more likely try one on regular occasions.

I think it used to be that I was worried about being able to get more if I really loved that "speshul" cigar. Sir Rockets 30 Days of Singles had been a good reminder for me to smoke 'em if I've got 'em.

Now I've got one cigar set aside for when I finish school, but that's about it except for the box I bought to smoke one from each year on my daughter's birthday.

I have a small 50 count humidore for special occasions. When it is too full every day is a special occasion.
