When i read this, i thought i was reading my daily routine. My routine at the end of the day goes something like this. Put my daughter to bed and then i choose my stick for the evening accompanied by a glass of Scotch and i am set. I also wish i could find time for an afternoon smoke, but meetings, workout schedule and unplanned call typically thwart this effort.

Sounds exactly like my life. But I have

come to covet my post grub smoke time.

From where I sit it seems that you have PLENTY of opportunities in which to indulge. Please enjoy the copious smoking time you have now to the fullest. Just wait until you add a wife and kids to the mix!! I am lucky if I smoke 2-3 sticks per week. No mornings, rarely during the work week, and most often confined to weekend nights once the kids are asleep. Not that I'm complaining though–Have you seen the price of diapers recently??

That's smart thinking about the "car-gars." Definitely not a bad idea to put some work clothes in the trunk. Then a bit of citrus-smelling hand sanitizer, a pinch of dry shampoo, and you're ready to take on the day odor-free

Commutes seems perfect smoking less-favored and/or smaller cigars that most of us have somehow accumulated, e.g. Don Kiki green label lonsdales, Arganese maduro coronas, Nestor Miranda Spec. Sel. lanceros. You might put some of your work-clothes in trunk and wear a jacket that will not go to work with you to absorb the odor. The average cost of my "car-gars" is $2.

I recently discovered that nothing alleviates the frustration of the morning DC Metro commute like a cigar and a travel mug of coffee. My drive is relatively short – 40 minutes on a good day – so robustos and petit coronas are just about perfect. The only problem is that I soon found myself smoking 1-2 cigars per day, which starts to get expensive.

To break this habit, I started buying only large cigars like Churchills and double coronas. It worked, but a little too well. Now I'm sitting on a couple of boxes of big cigars with no time to smoke one. D'oh!
