Hey man, I quit about 8 years ago. Combo that worked for me was that gum for when you have a craving (which you can transfer over to normal gum later on) and full on cigars. With the cigars, your body starts to get used to smoking one a day (equal to about 50 cigs in nicotine so it works well) and then you will be able to simply cut out those cigars over time.
I still smoke the occasional Arturo Fuente every 6 months to a year, but I tell you, cigars made it easy to quit, especially after failing a few times prior to taking this strategic method.
