[Oh Shoot]

Just starting to get into cigar smoking. Smoked some when I was younger. Anyone else on this forum smoke cigars? What are your favorites, recommendations, etc.?

I smoked a cigar at my daughter's wedding. Does that count?

Never have, never will.

I throw on the shades and light up a My Father Le Bijou 1922 whenever my last NDA delivery comes within 1 minute of 10:30.

My son thought that switching to cigars was his way to quit smoking

Didn't work.

That's like trying to quit drinking by switching from whiskey to beer.

Or going from smoking to snuff.

That's all it takes. I know folks like the smokes, but is it worth the risk?

Yes, I smoke cigars. Mostly when I'm golfing, but I go to a cigar lounge in the winter and have one with some of my friends too.

I knew a guy that always chewed on his never lit it,occasionally when he did I asked him if he got lucky the night before.

 

[Oh Shoot]

Why?

It's my choice...

I totally agree with this statement, it's also one of the reasons healthcare costs so much in our nation and everyone gets screwed because of other people's choices.

Oversimplifying it, healthcare should be like life insurance, those that constantly make bad choices pay higher premiums. I know there are a select few who have issues beyond their control, but when you consistently do bad behaviors and something goes wrong, the rest of us shouldn't foot the bill for your self inflicted problem.

I smoked for 12 years, the reason I quit was I wanted to be alive to enjoy my twilight years.

Major corporations have been taking steps to penalize those who choose to "do bad behaviors", whether it be smoking, obesity, etc, through higher premiums and/or surcharges.
