RE: Cigar Giveaway - 6 free cigars sent to a random Steemian!
Awesome!
I had no idea cigars could be so beautiful.
Tell me; what do you gain from it aside from the obvious fulfilling of a scar-face, mob boss fantasy .
I mean smoking a cigar makes you feel like a boss, but are they similar to cigarettes in the sense that you get some sort of "buzz"?
Cigarettes are all about 'buzz' I think. Cigars are more about flavor and experience. Often cigars are taken in combination with foods and drinks. Like a wine that accents a meal.
Cigarettes are generally inhaled deeply. Cigars are taken into the mouth and then expelled, although that is not always the case. It's personal preference.
It can take an hour or more to smoke some cigars. Cigarettes are a couple of minutes.
what happens if you deeply inhale cigar smoke?
You hack up a lung! lol. Cigars are not meant to be inhaled, it would not be pleasant.
You do get some nicotine through the mucous membrane of your mouth, but not an instant and large hit like cigarrette smoke to the lungs.
Cigars are also not meant to be smoked all day long in most cases, unless you are George Burns or Winston Churchill. This makes it impossible to become physically addicted to nicotine with 1-2 cigars per day. Nicotine half life is very short, which is why cigarette smokers crave another in a very short time.
Cool. I used to smoke cigarettes but made myself quit.
Ive tried cigars before but not seriously (just shitty ones)
Its something I'm interested in experiencing. I think they would be a good appetizer with a drink in hand and a nice hot bath and some light jazz where one can just chill out and think.
Most definitely. I smoked cigarettes as well for 3 years, but that was 18 years ago.
I always have a drink in hand with a cigar, even if it's coffee during the day. I have had many in our hot tub as well.
Reach out to me if you ever want any advise on good sampler deals, or have any questions.
"The obvious fulfilling mob boss fantasy".... this has never come to my mind while I have smoked a cigar. I suppose I was never into the mob stuff. As well I have never pictured myself as someone else while smoking.
@seablue explained it well. It is just another experience to be enjoyed like eating fine foods, wine, bourbon, etc.
There is an added element of community with fellow cigar smokers. Some of the best conversations I have had in my life have been while smoking a cigar with others. You would be amazed how much can get accomplished in a conversation of gentlemen with different views, when everyone has something in common at that moment, such as enjoying a cigar.
A cigar also slows down the mind of this non-stop fast past life. You are forced to relax, only puffing around once or twice per minute. It can be a soothing thing to the mind and soul. It has become my evening reward for a accomplished day, something to look forward too.
Very good!
