How long do cigars stay in your system?

When I was asked that question for my life insurance policy, I told them I smoked about once a week, cigars only. The lady made note of it, then specifically told me that she could still get me the non smokers policy price, as long as my blood and urine showed clean of nicotine. I quit for about 3 weeks, and about a week after the test, I was paying the non smokers rate, and was truthful about everything.

Which insurance company was this?
 
Thanks for reviving this thread. I am going to have to start giving 'em up this week so I can do the test in February.

Last time I did the test, a few years ago, they did a mouth swab. Anyone experience that one?
 
i have taken tests two different times. and have been a DAILY cigar smoker for 25 years. i don't inhale. the first test i waited two weeks and was negative. the second test was sprung a little sooner on me and i had only three days. i abstained for those three days and drank plenty of water and tested negative!

The first time it was hartford life insurance, and we now have west coast life insurance. The only reason we changed was because wifey wanted me to get more insurance after I got my motorcycle license, so we went from 500k to 750k for LESS money per month with west coast life.

Don't nutrionists say it takes about a day to pass food through your system? Im gonna guess a cigar would plug you up and would call for the need of laxatives. :ss
 
I was told two weeks would be enough. I just was tested for my policy and told the truth about cigar use but did take some time off before the test. Regardless, for my purposes saving some money wasn't worth lying and opening up myself to insurance fraud despite the fact that my odds of getting hit by lightning are better than getting caught.
