Don't tell me you actually like smoking that. It's just a life style nothing to do with actual enjoyment of the cigar, although they all extol the virtues of this or that. Of course, it's what they do.

I'd imagine It's what a BT&P would be like!

Smoking a cigar is like giving a blow job to a bonfire.

LoL

As an occasional cigar smoker, they're meant to be smoked slowly and savoured. They are many times more powerful than cigarettes.

You're not supposed to breathe it in, just draw it into your mouth and swish it around a bit, then exhale. You'll still feel it after a while but it doesn't hit you quickly. You can tell the people who don't know this by the coughing fits they have as they try to smoke a cigar like a fag.

Cigars have different types (cafe, cigarillo, big arse Churchill style), flavours (vegetal, spicy, sweet) and different strengths.

Some do smell and taste like oversized cigarettes. I don't like those ones and prefer a spicy, coffee or vegetal note...

Usually I'll have one or two a year, smoked outside on a nice day. A petite Corona easily lasts half an hour or more.

Just to shatter any illusions, I am as Sir Elton once uttered, the juvenile product of the working class.

I love the smell of cigar smoke in the morning.

I actually do mean this, it's not just a Col Kilgore reference. Reminds me of when Dad had his mates over and they stayed up late yarning and laughing, leaving the lounge smelling of cigars in the morning.

So I've enjoyed cigars, and the way they make my lounge smell, until after about thirty years of marriage my wife announced that she's always hated the smell and could I could I go outside to smoke please? Luckily the spiders in the garage welcome me to their safe refuge from female interference.

I have also partaken in a cigar, each time after the birth of my children (4). I enjoyed it and occasionally will have one at home.
Like I said, it is not the cigar i dislike but the fake pomposity of the smokers when they all gather together and talk nonsense!

My first born I was at a hotel an mentioned it to another guy at the bar who puled out two Romeo Y Juliet Churchills, that started the tradition!

I have done with the last bit, but I'm a very long way from forgiveness. I've accepted it happened and I can't change that, but forgiveness is a no.

Good for you.

I was in a similar way towards my mother and have never seen eye to eye with her. Then she died at 74 last year and I was more upset about not speaking my mind to her!

Bu then later I thought how very silly it was but it was too late for any reconciliation anyway.

Flip flops.

Don't like em, think they look dumb, uncomfortable, dislike the sound of them, hate the thought of something between my toes, and other peoples toes.

Sliders, crocs or sandals are just better. I know crocs are devisive. That's also fine.

I’m surprised there isn’t a PH ‘show us your cigars thread’…

Good grief.
And I suppose there’re also PH threads for ‘show us your wine cellar / rack’, ‘tell us your postcode(s)’ and ‘show us your bank statement’?

[robemcdonald]

I remember the cringe thread.
That cigar nonsense would have been prime material.
I miss those days…

Just visit Food, Drink and Restaurants. There's threads in there for wine, whisky, chilli sauce, kitchen knives, saucepans, you name it.
