I was a cigar guy long before both marriage and children. I believe my first cigar was at 17. After my wife and I had two kids my cigars became less frequent for family time. At some point my kids won’t want me around as much and it will be as much fun watching them grow at their older ages as it has been so far on this journey.
The reason we all love cigars is for the journey they take us through when we get to sit back and relax for an hour or so. Right now my journey is much different than it was and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I bought many cigars after my kids were born because other things I liked to do got put aside for family. When I bought I bought a few boxes to try, then a few more of other marcas to keep wondering where these cigars would go in 3-4 years, 5-10 years, and 15+. Most definitely over did it.... but I know my journey will change yet again.
Now more than ever I smoke less and less cigars to not miss out on family. So I buy way less now... maybe 3-4 boxes a year.
Hope this was helpful.
