I get a box of Cohibas for $150...  My friend flies them straight in, but, he changes his number every month, and I have to go through hell and back to find it... so, I'm all out :-(

I like Cohibas, burned one yesterday, I get samplers all the time and they always throw a couple in, but my only issue with samplers is assorted sizes, I only buy Churchills, generally 6 or 7 x 50 or 56 ring size.
Damn near burns two hours.

Oh Hell no, I belong to a couple of clubs at $20 a month, but it's worth it, you get at least one cigar worth that much in every order.

I have pipes as well, and partake regularly, but I just love a good cigar, I have my favorites, but $10 a pop isn't for everyday use, so I burn the cheaper ones and when I get tired of them, out comes the pipe but a 15 minute burn doesn't compare to an hour and a half bur on a Monte Christo or a PDR, one of my weaknesses.
Ahhhh sigh, I think I'll burn one now. :)

I am too cheap to pay $10 for something I plan on burning up.  But I always got more than 15 minutes out of a pipe, too.  Always 30 at least, frequently 45, and I have one big 'un that would go an hour and a half.  But I never really wanted to smoke for more than 30 minutes at a time.

A guy once tole me he would never hire anybody that smoked a pipe because anybody that smoked a pipe already had a full time job.  And he had a valid point.

He's right, that's why I never packed mine more, my jaw would get sore from holding it more than 15 minutes.
Besides, it's hard to type and smoke a pipe, mine are quite heavy.

But the downside to cigars and forums is. you get so involved in a conversation, that the next thing you know, you have 3' of ashes laying across your keyboard.

Gotta remember to set it down on occasion. :-[

I NEVER left the thing in my mouth for anything longer than maybe a minute.  Part of the pleasure is holding the thing and waving it around.  Occasionally putting it down.

You actually set it down? What a novel concept. :))
I never let my fingers leave the keyboard long enough for that..

I don't smoke indoors.  Stinks up the place.  I also, apparently, don't spend as much time on the keyboard as you do.

Retired, do as I please and this tends to pleas me. :))

It's always funny to me how a smoker is concerned about the interior of their home, or car, but not their lungs.   Too funny...

I didn't care about the interior of my home or my car any more than I do my lungs.  In fact, I smoked in my car when I was the only one in there or the others were also smokers.  But I did care about others.  If I had lived alone, I would have smoked in my home, too.  But I don't.  And smoking indoors does definitely stink up the place.

It's also possible to enjoy smoking pipes and cigars without damaging your lungs any more than second hand smoke does, and there's debate about that.  Not so with cigarettes.  If you don't inhale the cigarette smoke, you may as well not bother.  They either have no taste or they taste bad, and the only thing you get out of it is the addictive buzz.
