How often do you smoke a cigar?

I'd love to smoke one today, but I smoke outside and it's cold and windy today, so no go on that. I had my last one 3 days ago. I was wondering, how often do you smoke a cigar? Daily basis, once a week, or just whenever you can? More than one a day? Just interested in this.

    Usually it's one every week or two. Although, I had a rough semester in the fall, so I have been smoking cigars once every 3 or 4 days over this break - really trying to enjoy every moment I can...

    and I can't think of a better way to enjoy myself than with a great cigar, a glass of fine scotch or bourbon, and a roaring fire.

    I've had one just about every night this week.

    On work days twice (during commutes) weekends almost never.

    Winter - twice a week B&M. 3-4 cigars in each night. Start at about 7pm and go to 1am.

    Summer - once a week B&M, maybe two and have about 3 each time. Once in a while smoke outside at home and have one during yard work or walking the dogs etc.

    Anywhere from once a day to once a week. It all just depends on too many factors... weather, timing, schedule, etc.

    It varies. I go through periods where I smoke a lot and then times where I barely smoke at all.

    Usually about twice a week when its colder outside....just all depends on work/family stuff. Just varies..but either way NOT ENOUGH as I would like to.

    I smoke once to twice a week depending (as the others have said) on the weather and timing. I go out to our shelter with my smoke and a good book.

    Usually once a day. If we're on a camping trip with our travel trailer I sometimes burn two per day. And we go on a trip just about every month with just a few exceptions.

    The 1 to 2 per day keeps me within the lowest risk range shown in the study by the National Cancer Institute for heart and cancer problems, but that's just coincidental - it's not my reason for limiting myself to how many I burn. It just gives me a tad bit more leeway to rationalize. LOL

    2-3 a day. Depends on the weather here, of course.
    Kuwait goes from 125+ in the summer, to cold, windy, and rainy in the winter.
    The past month or so has been fairly tolerable.
    Usually a robusto in the morning, something larger in the afternoon, and maybe a corona in the evenings.
    For example, today I had a Est 1844-50 after breakfast, a Camacho Triple Maduro 11/18 about an hour after lunch, and I just finished a 5 Vegas AAA corona.

    Usually I stick to the weekends cause of work. I do have time to smoke at work but I choose to run or go to the gym or grapple instead of smoking. If I do smoke at work, its on the last work day of the week with my co-workers. But def every Sat and Sun. So I might have 3 a week.

    If I have a rough day at work or get off real realy I might splurge and have a cigar.

    Unless there is a herf that weekend, that I have had as many as 6 in one day. Usually when we herf I have at least 3 maybe 4.

    At least one a day, but typically 2. Up to 4 or 5 a day if I'm off work.

    I would say a couple a week. But in winter I could go a lot longer between them.

    3-4 on my days off, sometimes one after dinner on workdays if working days.

    I'd like to more often than I do, but thats the way it goes.

    In the spring, summer and fall months about 2 per week on average, and never more than 3. In the winter, even though I live in CA, it gets old smoking in the dark and in the cold, so I drop to 2-3 per month.

    I shoot for once or twice per week on the weekends (depending on weather). If I'm on vacation, I try to have one every day. Doesn't always work though. Its not uncommon for me to go weeks without one as well.

    I average about 8-9 per week. I usually just have one a day, but if I go out on the weekends I usually have an extra one.

    Normally during the winter it is about 1 every two weeks at a B&M because of the horrible weather (ie single digits) during the spring/fall a couple times a week. Summer here is kinda finnicky so it can really depend on the temp.

    I usually smoke three a day...one after each meal.

    I smoke in the winter for 2 reasons:
    1. Pain relief
    2. Alone time to study

    The weather (7+ inches of snow today and 30 below tonight) might stop me from having a cigar after pizza and wings (notice I said "might"). Weather does play a factor, but I love having study time alone in the garage without interruptions
    1 to 3 per week in the winter. Camping in the summer might be 2 a week of real cigars and a few "but gitter ridders" as needed (those would be backwoods or other cheaper cigars)

    On this deployment it has turned into one a day. I grab my kindle and go down to the smoke deck, plant my butt on an ammo can and read. I have been on nights since August, so sometimes I will catch a second one in the morning, just to see the sun and be outside.
    When we hit port, it's usually two or three when we have "Beer on the Pier"
    I'm sure that when I get home the wife will want me to tone it down though.
