smoking stogies?
« on: March 14, 2015, 03:03:12 PM »
I've never smoked one, or a cigarette for that matter. But any one here that has and could describe the satisfaction from it?

I do like a well grilled hot dog or sausage now and then. Chocolate covered cannoli is good a well.

I just don't see the point. They fuckin' stink real bad. This dude at my gym, you can smell within 15 foot radius and smells like cigars. Disgusting.

Notice the only women around are women who are paid to be there when you see groups of fat ass dudes in suits smoking them.

Pathetic.

It's mental.
I have smoked for 9 years and cigarettes are like an anchor to zone out. They also bond you with other smokers. It's a club.
Every now and then a few Cigarillos are still awesome.

Never liked cigars, but there a few guys on here who like that fatherly extra when blowing a good smoke  :D

There is something cool about them though. If you like to collect things. Cigar shops are fun to just look around in. The boxes are pretty sweet looking same with the lighters and cutters. They are kind of like guns fun to collect and look at.

Very true, i always check out Cigar shops even in other country's. I own a few pretty expensive lighters and cutters. The Cigars hop  on mainstreet below Chastises Restaurant (Arnold) had always cool people in it to play chess with.
I love a good cigar after a great Steak and wine. Its a pretty expensive little habit if you get really in to it

Great reply IL you're awesome! 

I've never smoked a cigarette but have smoked a handful of cigars and cigarillos. I don't really feel anything from it or any benefit. Maybe just the relaxation of it  ???
Maybe it's a social thing.

I can see wanting a cigar after a meal...thats a smokers thing.

I also,agree that its a social thing and i will have a cigar generally when offered.  Its nice to fire one up during a round a golf.

Sure.  I like the flavor and the relaxing buzz.  Haven't had one in over a year but still got a pile of duty free Montes in the other room.  Nice with a brandy after a good supper under summer stars.

But they're expensive and bad for you, so not really a taste you should aspire to acquire.  And all the hoity-toity nonsense that cigar society seems to promote is plain goofy.  It's just tobacco.

Not every Cuban I've had was the holy grail.  With Cubans in particular I found that price was not necessarily an indication of quality.  I never had a Honduran or Nicaraguan that was carelessly rolled and the flavor, although it didn't have that heavy Cuban spice, was complex and excellent.  The far more affordable mid and upper range American domestics I had were very good too, just much lighter than the imports, which was sometime preferable.  So I find it silly when people talk about 'the best cigar,' which invariably has some crazy price attached to it, just like high end booze and wine that way.  The best one is the one that suits your mood and preference.

When I was working in broadcasting amongst the shows I produced was one on medicine.
 I was invited to a dinner at "The Doctor's Club" in the Houston Medical Center.  There a cardiologist taught me how to smoke a cigar.
 You shouldn't inhale the smoke into your lungs, just draw it into your mouth.

I didn't care much for it.

Never trust a cardiologist who hands you a cigar!  Sounds like the kinda 'guy' who attends a wine tasting and fills up the spittoon. 

I let most of it go and inhale 10 or 20% to get a nice jolt.  Fuck it, if I'm smoking I'm smoking.  I'm not going to sit there and kid myself that I'm somehow not smoking.

I'm being a snob tho.  People should smoke a cigar however they want.  There's not an incorrect way.

I never smoked a cigarette or cigar until I was around 40 and bought a cigar. Smoking the cigar I thought I was using a heavy duty drug I was so high.  My wife says that's how it is when you begin smoking cigarettes but after awhile it just relaxes you leaving you in a good place. The withdrawal from smoking  is really tough. Jittery nerves are terrible I have heard.

Beer and cigars are one of the great pleasures in life.The nicotine seem to work in a synergistic way with the alcohol. Similarly, a lot of people (more commonly Europeans?) cut up their cannabis with tobacco,to enhance and accelerate the effects of the former.

There's also another aspect to nicotine.We motivate ourselves in our work and relationships by the rewards of money,food,security ,sex etc. Nicotine,in the form ,say,of a cigar, likewise can be used as a another way of rewarding yourself ,maybe daily after work or at the end of the week. Think of it,when used intelligently, as a chemical tool to motivate oneself -sort of like sugar water,given to lab rats,gives them an incentive to perform their allotted tasks.

Well, let me open this subject with few words which help you to realize why some of these bozos hate cigars:

1. Cigar = hand crafted in  Cuba or some of the countries around the Caribbean sea, or Mexico.
2. You never inhale cigar smoke, because it is way too alkaline for your lungs to handle. There is also too much of nicotine, meaning that one robusto-size Cuban = +25 cigarettes smoked at once.
3. You never smoke cigar in hurry, because cigars are all about relaxation. You smoke them slowly taking a puff of smoke once in two minutes, tasting the smoke and it's aromas.
4. You need something to moisture your mouth while smoking, like good espresso, single malt whiskey, aged cognac, premium rum or tequila etc. or some dark beer, stout, porter etc.

Imagine yourself sitting in the armchair at the terrace of your house under the sunshade. You have good cigar, like Cohiba behike 52 at the table, and bottle of Chinaco Anejo with the large snifter-glass. Maybe you have nice book, good music to go along with these, but the cigar is the main thing. You light it, relax, look how the smoke rises from the cigar, and sip some fine tequila. I bet it would feel just as good to you, as it always feel to me. That kind of cigar burn easily two hours, so you can let your body relax while your worries disappear in the smoke..
