      Cigars are good.

      I forgot to have my summer vacation cigar last year, maybe this year.

        I like em with a good snort of cognac or whisky.

          Never was a fan. I always inhaled.

          Cool experience, though.

            So, I bought a box of 10.

            Very very nice! They pair well with the Suntory World Whisky.

                  The Suntory looks nice, too, but I have to slop through the bottle of WhistlePig my wife gifted me.

                      I see them as half-way between a cigarette and a pipe, in that you don't look cool, but you don't look like an abject twat either.

                      I may be a little biased. I used to smoke them during many vain attempts to give up the cigarettes.

                      I was only joking

                        It's been decades since I smoked a cigar. Even more decades since I smoked a pipe.

                        Never enjoyed a cigar. When I finished, I always felt like a freight train ran across my tongue. I suppose it could have been the cheapo cigar I smoked - no I don't remember.

                        However, a pipe never had the bite, and never offended anyone in the room. I rather enjoyed a pipe. I liked the ritual, the flavor and the "ambience" of a pipe. Granted, I'm going back 40 years, but...

                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                          I enjoy the smell of a cigar much more than the actual taste/experience of it. That being said, it has been a few years but I do, in general, enjoy smoking a cigar and as I think back on the number of times I've done it, I mainly recall the WHO and WHERE... with my brother on a golf course, with my brother in law on my condo's rooftop. That's what makes it special... it slows down time. It facilitates a good, long, conversation with someone important to you. You experience culture, you pair it with a good drink, and it usually involves some refreshing nighttime breezes as you linger.

                            @George-K I've never tried a pipe, but something tells me I'd prefer it, too.

                            The smell is really hard to shake, though, and I don't blame my wife for requiring a good shower before I get in bed smelling like an ash tray.

                                      As for floaters, it generally takes about three days for the smell to wear off. It's a great dieting tool, and that's a statement coming from a person who's been known to have lunch while assisting with a post.

                                      The morgue is not quite as stringent on sterile fields. 😁

                                          Reminds me of Sledge's experience in the Marines. The ground was so bloody, so littered with people pieces, that the ground would move in front of your eyes, because of all the maggots working the decay. He and his fellow Marines lost a lot of weight, because they simply couldn't eat. The stench was pervasive and nigh unbearable.
