What does /vip/ think of cigars, and smoking in general? I need

Cuban cigars are astounding, like nothing else. I used to smoke Paul Garmirian single coronas from the Dominican Republic. VERY GOOD. The thing is, I over did it, and LOST my sense of smell. Very weird! So that was the end of tobacco. My sense of smell came back.

you TYPE like my deceased grandpa! STOP using so many exclamation points and CAPS!

They stink and the relaxation is purely psychological.

Disagree, tobacco makes me dizzy and nauseous, but I also only smoke once a month or two so I get that feeling every time

ive smoked cigars but i dont really like the taste of the smoke and it doesn't give me any significant tobacco buzz. plus it stains your teeth. my two cents for what it's worth.

I smoke a pack a day. A study did find that if you eat more than a cup of cruciferous vegetables you cut your chances of getting lung cancer by over half.

They're great as long as you know how to smoke them properly. A lot of people scorch the end when they light it and draw from it every fifteen seconds and then wonder why it tastes like ass and is making them nauseous.

Look up a video for proper lighting technique and once you get it going only take a draw every 40-60 seconds. You should never draw if you can see orange around the ring, if you do you'll overheat the tobacco and ruin the whole cigar. If it's a properly kept cigar you shouldn't have to worry about it going out, and you may actually cause it to go out quicker if you puff it too frequently. With time you'll be able to tell when to draw and, if you draw too early, you'll know to stop halfway through. Generally the embers will be hiding just barely on the inside of cigar until you take a draw, then you'll see the ring turn orange. That's how it should be.

Those two aspects are crucial to enjoying a good cigar.

Start off with mild cigars. Look for "natural" wrappers and avoid any that say "maduro".

Two cigars I'll recommend are Gran Habano #1 Connecticut and Arturo Fuente Double Chateau (some cigars have maduro versions, remember to make sure it's natural). The Habano is cheap, smooth, and tastes great. The Fuente is more pricey, it's similar to the Connecticut but better in every way. I'd say get yourself a 5-pack of each of those and see what you think.

This. If you see someone about to light a cigar with a lighter, slap the lighter out of their hand.

Punch a small hole in the end of the cigar.

Use wooden matches, never let the flame touch the cigar. Rotate the cigar. Do not be in a hurry. Then light the cigar, once it's warmed and toasty on the hot end.
