Still smoking, just don't have a collection like I once did. Instead of hundreds of cigars I have approximately 30.

You sound like a friend of mine. First, it was bird watching. Then, it was tennis, every day for hours on end.
Then, poker--he actually proclaimed at one point he wanted to quit his job (he's a cardiologist) to play profesionally.
Then, it was golf five days a week.
I haven't seen him in six months now. Everytime I call his cell phone, he's on his new sailboat....
