Red face Do you like a CIGAR?



I love a good cigar, a Cuban or Dominican Republic or Nicaraguan. Long filler if
possible but hand rolled not machine made. I always have one after
Christmas dinner and on New year (and we smoke them at golf).



have you even smoked a cigar and is it something you have been thinking
about?


men and women enjoy them and as you dont inhale they are not the same as
fags or vapes that fill young lungs with crap.


A good cigar will take you say an hour or so to smoke and its a very peaceful
relaxing thing to do.

Generally not that bothered about them, good for a big occasion maybe but just find the taste a bit meh no matter how expensive or distinctive it's supposed to be and it takes too long to smoke them

A good inexpensive Cuban is a Quintero which you can pick up for £9 in a tobacconist on the street. for about £3 you can get a AVO Uvezian Domaine Puritos. Or for £8 a Davidoff Winston Churchill Traveller Belicoso.

I love Cohiba but Davidoff is great as well.

Thank you for the education. We all thought lung cancer was the only form of cancer.

I used to smoke them all the time when I was younger but not so much now. I agree with LT anything down from Corona or half Corona is not worth bothering with. The packet brands arent the best cigars you'll find. I found myself smoking the old cafe cremes - now called signature - and I quickly went off them

Smoked them occasionally in my late teens/early 20's. They're gross and pretentious.

Cuban. I smokes a Cuban at Christmas and a pipe at Easter.
Always has, always will.
