Should I Shouldn't I - How to decide???

[Herf N Turf]

That's it folks! You've already smoked a nice cigar today and, as always, thoroughly enjoyed it. Trouble is, it makes you want another!

Question is, what to do? Do you indulge yourself, your passion, your desire, your interest... or do you save up, curb your appetite and bravely move on?

As we all know, our cigars are a luxury, but where are we supposed to draw the line? I mean, if we're fortunate enough to be able to afford more luxury, isn't that what we've worked so hard for?

Then again, we might decide it better to deny today so we can indulge another....

Bottom line, it's a DAMNED hard choice to make.

So, how do you do it? Do you go with your gut and spark up another as you like, or do you seek to serve the more "christian" impulse of self denial in the hope of greater reward?

For me, it's often like the scene in Animal House where "Pinto" had the devil and the angel on opposite shoulders...

I rarely light anything up during the day unless I have some down time at work, and when home I have young children I don't want asking questions about /pretending smoking so I usually only light up after they're in bed, leaving me little time for a second. I guess to me it makes it more of a luxury knowing I'll have time for 1 bowl or stick so which do I choose tonight?

Life is too short. Toga! Toga! Toga!

Or I could wait until tomorrow and spend a quiet evening reflecting on my day, looking for any wrongdoings I may have made and how I could have done it differently.

Don, I think I see your dilemma. I got nuthin.

My chances to partake are far between, so I tend to give in when I have the chance. I just try to take a break and cleanse the palate some between.

I only smoke in the evenings on weeknights, and there's usually only time for one cigar (or a couple bowls of pipe tobacco).

Weekends, the devil usually wins

Patience my ass...I'm going to kill sumptin'....

I typically choose one of my favorite cigars when smoking, so usually my smoking experience leaves me very satisfied. Therefore, I rarely feel the need to spark up another. Also, I'm usually crunched for time which prevents a second stick.

If I do want another, I smoke another. I like to think of cigars as a treat and treats are more special when occasional. However, tomorrow isn't promised, so I indulge if I want.

I usually smoke one a day. Rarely do I have enough spare time to smoke a second. But if I did I would smoke 2-3 a day

My taste seems to dwindle after the first smoke, so I either chose stronger cigars if I follow one after another. However, I usually don't have enough time to smoke more than one per evening on weekdays.
