Duxnutz Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thinking of taking a break from cigars for a while to amongst other things re-invigorate the palate. If you've done this before, how long did you find it took to better appreciate what your smoking? Couple weeks? A month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonowns Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I quit smoking for a week because of a cold and when I resumed the flavors were popping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliverdst Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I have never done that before but it would be good to know how often and how long have you been smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duxnutz Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm usually 3-6 a week guy, been enjoying cigars for several years. This week I've been to two tasting sessions for spirits/beer and have had several strong Nicaraguan cigars to top it off, hence the burn out.

Phillys Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Breaks......... never! well sometimes because I just don't have the time, but never intentionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fingerburner Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I took a six week break a year or so back, just to see if I could. The first cigar after the layoff was one of the most enjoyable I've ever smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newkarian Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Just came back from a 4 week break. Had a RASS which was the best of the example I have had to date. The flavors seemed much more pronounced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigarbreak Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm curious to know if any of you noticed some withdrawal syptoms when taking that break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaDisco Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I quit smoking and drinking once and in two weeks I lost 14 days . . . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHands Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Them Nicaraguan sticks pack a punch. I really do enjoy a good stick from my father or drew estate but they always leave my palate tasting of an ash tray for at least 24 hours Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffDaddie Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Don't smoke during the winter months, now that spring is here can't wait to light up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreanCowboy Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I used to take a break durning the winter because of the cold but this year I didn't. I wish I would have because I remember how good the spring cigars always tasted. Try a 2 week break and then hit the cigars again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stogieluver Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Just one question: WHY??? I can't imagine missing one day of bliss and relaxation. I smoke 8-10 cigars a week and have for a few years, and look forward each and every day to my smoke time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoshneer Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 A week or two weeks is good for me. Either that or try to not smoke as much. I used to smoke quite a few a day but keeping it down to one actually let's me enjoy them more.
