Why Do People Smoke Cigars?

[TheZach]

Well as most of you know, you aren't supposed to inhale cigar smoke; you're just supposed to hold it in your mouth and blow out. But if you stop "smoking" the cigar it will quickly burn out.

So what's the point? You spend several minutes smoking and all you do is yellow your own teeth. You don't even get a buzz or anything out of it.

Only thing I can think of is flavor, but most of the cigars I've smoked taste like dog shit. Some people say they like it because it enhances the flavor of their meal, many people like to use the phrase "Steaks and Stogies" meaning you eat steak either before or after you smoke a cigar.

This really isn't that big of a deal for me, I just can't understand why some people are "Cigar Connoisseur" I mean you're just wasting your life and teeth doing nothing but polluting the air.

Now, NG, what are your thoughts?

[M-Y]

they last much longer and some are just really nice

[camobch0]

It's an acquired taste , you'd have to smoke them to understand

[Prinzy2]

It's along the same lines as why people drink wine instead of drinking schnapps.

When you go to wine tastings, they spit the wine into buckets, they don't drink it because they want to enjoy the different flavors of each grape. Cigars have the exact same concept.

[aSquared94]

It tastes good??

[Jonners]

It's makes you look like a gentleman! What women could resist a man with a top-hat, cane, monocle and a cigar?

SPOILER ALERT! None of them.

[cronic-22]

I smnoke the on occasion and its the taste of the thing, i hate fags but cigars are smooth and just great when socialising, you also look pimp smoking that shit lol

[JKMonkey]

Because they last a lot longer than cigarettes, have more tobacco in them, and can have a variety of tastes.

[Dromedary]

They look much cooler.

Imagine a ammo laden mercanary, smoking a pipe. It just wouldn't cut it.

[JSSKFF]

Because people like smoking them
It's as simple as that

[SeeInTheDark]

I believe there is also a factor of feeling "cool" to yourself. I'm trying to distinguish that from trying to put out an image to other people. Some like to embody a certain image for themselves, and smoking cigars can be part of that.

[DoctorCrabs]

Actually you do still get a buzz off of them, as smoke can still enter the bloodstream when in the mouth (hence why so many noob pot smokers still get high if they don't do it right).

[IceFireMudDragon]

Because they look cool.

[Jon4life]

I am more keen on cigarettes, only because of the buzz. Flavor wise, it's really based on the brand. My aunt and my uncle both smoke cigars. I was over at their house yesterday and they smelled so good. I just want to pick up the half smoked rum cigar out of the ash tray and smoke it. Of course, I would inhale because I am that bad ass and stuff. Or I am just clumsy.

[HungarianSupermarket]

You silly kids don't understand anything that won't give you a "buzz". I smoke cigars every now and then because I enjoy the taste, but of course I completely understand why some people may not enjoy it.

[Frank-The-Hedgehog]

It makes you look like a rich business man.

I wear a monocle and i...... actually, you're right.

[Fawktt]

All of the cool kids are doing it.

Because it's fun and tastes good. All the cigars I've smoked have been good. And at least you have something to do with your friends. And no the cigar-smoke doesn't pollute the air. Campfire or fireplace pollutes the air millions of times more, if they even pollute at all.

[Shakyjake]

Cigars are fucking tasty. If the ones you've had tasted like dog shit then you must be buying the wrong ones...

Also, haha you know what dog shit tastes like.

[CanadianSnowman]

They taste good, and are less harmful to your body because you don't inhale them.

Also that buzzed feeling you feel when you smoke is lack of oxygen to your brain, thanks, but no thanks.

[TheRipper00]

Honesty I only smoke Cigars every once in a Blue Moon, but when i do it's ONLY Cubas. The Real deal not imitation. I buy a box when I head down to Playa Del Carmen once a year or so.

Pic of me and a Fat ol' Cuban on the Ocean.

Why the hell would smoking cause you to lose a toe or get gangrene?!

You have been misinformed, child.

Nicotine can also absorb into your blood stream though the pores in your mouth, though it takes greater quantities of smoke to cause this effect. N00B cigar smokers don't think there is an effect as it can take 20-30 mins of smoking before you notice anything. It is also a healthier choice as it does not cause lung cancer.
