I smoke the occasional cigar (even purely unadulterated ones). The key is moderation.

Really though, I find that those who start smoking tobacco do so as a result of lowered inhibitions from alcohol. Then, the addiction takes hold because they're smoking every time they're drunk and they get drunk often enough for it to be a problem.

Cigars are legit amazing when you're drunk. That small amount of nicotine getting into your system (or large amount if you're getting the smoke in your lungs) DOES give you a buzz. The buzz you get goes great with your alcohol buzz. Compared to the flavor of alcohol, cigars are pussy shit on the taste buds.

So... there you have it. All your questions regarding people's motivation for doing things are from your lack of experience with them. Live a few more years and your questions will be eventually answered. ; )

Well, it's the nicotine entering the bloodstream, really. That's how chewing tobacco works too. Your mouth has so many veins in it! It wont work with cigarettes though. It has to do with the alkaline level or someshit in the tobacco of cigars that allows its nicotine to be absorbed.

Its because the smoke is thicker and richer?

Well, smoking tobacco can give you relaxed feelings, but when really, it's increasing your heart rate, you just don't know it. Also, like brain cells, we're born with the number of aveoli we'll always have, and smoking tobacco can kinda, ruin them. Aveoli are like baloons, when you inhale, they inflate. The less you have, the less air you can hold in your lungs.

I feel bad for my mom, she's been smoking for YEARS

I heard someone say that they are in fact a little less dangerous. Probably not by much, but hey, look at the bright side.

I'd say the reason people do it is to just try and impress people. They think it looks cool to have a big fat cigarette hanging out their mouth.

As much of an anti drug person I am I would rather do that than nicotein ciggerettes.

because they look cool.Look at Conker for example.Now, what looks more awesome, a normal squirrel OR a cigar smoking squirrel?

Because you look like a badass.

Hmm....cigars. If you have a good one (about 10 euros), you can enjoy from one all night long.

Pour yourself a glass of good whisky, not cheap one. Sit and relax and drink a few glasses. Then take out the cigar, clip it and smoke it. The taste it releases is wonderful. Even when you wake up the next day, the first thing you will taste is cigars.

Eh I assume people only smoke cigars because they are addicted to the nicotine, if they are as bad as you say.

I think cigars remind people of more nostalgic noir movies and the like.
