Good choice. I gave away the cigar I got for my last grandson. Congratulations
on your quit. Keep up the good work. Don't take any cigs on the boat, ever!

"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."

Trade the cigar for anything, give it away, or throw it overboard.

Ex smokers nearly always find it impossible to "smoke just a little
bit" after knocking off for several weeks.

My sister in law has always been a heavy smoker. She's had numerous
angioplasties and finally open heart surgery last winter. Shes in her
mid 50's. Her doctor her told her she only got a single shot at the
type of heart surgery she needed, and that she *must never smoke
again*. My bro-in-law has told her he's absolutely not going to allow
her to smoke, and he's thrown out all the ashtrays, etc.

Recently, my sister-in-law asked my wife to get something out of my
sister-in-law's car. While looking for the cell phone, (or whatever it
was), my wife found a coffee cup full of cigarette butts stuffed under
the driver's seat. Sister-in-law hasn't stopped smoking, she just cut
back some and stopped leaving the evidence in the ashtrays. Maybe she's
lucky- not that many people can be absolutely certain how they're going
to die and just exactly why. The only open question now is, "how soon?"

Keep up the resolve, you're not out of the woods by a long, long shot
after just five weeks.

Those frikken cigars were my downfall a number of times (well ok, the fault
was mine, not the cigar's) ... as others have posted, don't even think about
taking it on the boat with you.

Not only that, you should also avoid being around others who are
smoking, especially if you are also drinking at the same time. It's a
tough habit to quit, and you are not really out of the woods until the
smell of smoke becomes offensive to you. Even then you will still
have a few bad moments when your guard is down.

Just say no -- a former 3 pack a day smoker.

Actually, the first thing I did when I quit was to hit every spot I could
think of that I was in the habit of smoking in. So night one it was down to
the bar where everybody and there dog was smokin for a few beers. And a
funny thing, even two years after I quit I would once in a while find myself
in a place where I used to smoke, and I'd get an urge for a smoke ... but I
didn't. So for me it's face things head on ... but hey, I only smoked for a
short while ... 30 years. I'm a non-smoker for 15 years now.

No! Quitting took me two tries, just because of thinking that I'm over
the addiction, and could partake casually. You can't. I'm on my second
time now, and have gone long enough so it doesn't bother me at all,
three years or so, I think.

Its not worth it. Besides, everybody knows Cuban cigars are junk.
