Frustration: The Clock's Tyranny - Finding Time to Relax

Aaron Black

The cigar aficionado craves a simple pleasure: time to truly unwind and savor a good smoke. Yet, the modern world throws up a relentless obstacle – the lack of time. Here's a glimpse into their struggle:

  • The Stolen Moments: Their days are a whirlwind of work, family, and commitments. Finding uninterrupted time to light up a cigar feels like stealing a precious moment from a tyrant.

  • The Rushed Ritual: The meticulous pre-smoking ritual – the cutter, the torch, the careful lighting – becomes a hurried affair, robbing the experience of its mindfulness.

  • The Half-Lit Blues: The worry of a cigar going out before they can finish it due to time constraints adds a layer of stress to the enjoyment.

  • The Weekend Warrior: Cigars become relegated to weekends, a bittersweet reminder of the freedom they crave during the week.

  • The Guilt Game: Lighting up a cigar can be accompanied by a nagging guilt – a feeling of indulging in a luxury they don't have time for.

This frustration goes beyond just the physical act of smoking. It's about the yearning for a slower pace, a deliberate pause in the constant rush of life. The cigar aficionado sees their hobby as a form of self-care, a way to de-stress and recharge. But the lack of time makes that self-care feel like an impossible dream, leaving them yearning for a moment of true relaxation that always seems just out of reach.
