My dad smoked cigars. I never got passed the stink. [/quoteMy Grandfather used to smoke stinky White Owls. I used to wonder how anyone could smoke those smelly things. Just like my Dad used to drink cheap Peil's beer when l was younger. I tasted it once and wondered how anyone could drink beer.The aroma of a fine cigar add a lot to the experience, but of course you don't want a bunch of smoke in your face. The best case scenario is to smoke in a well ventilated room where you can smell the aroma without getting all of that smoke.
