Why do you love cigars?

[Detroit_Waves]

It would be a shame to just store them all however Fat, and not gain an opinion on how they are smoking and developing. Obviously, you don't quite have the time currently...however, I have a couple of weeks worth of time that has just become free, and I would be happy to take them all off your hands and report back to you, to let you know how your collection is coming along.........

[Drewmidorn]

I don't like cigars I just use them to make me look cool! Lol

[Fat1]

More and more these days I have less time to actually smoke and take more enjoyment from just collecting the cigars and storing them properly - checking them every other day or so, monitoring humidity/ temp etc.. I think that I also just love the smell as much an anything now.

However on those days when you do find an hour to yourself there is nothing like relaxing in the garden, pouring a nice drink and sitting back with your stick of choice. Has to be summer though, I have come to the conclusion lately that cigars just dont taste as good in the cold.

Have to agree TJ. I have tried a good few different NC, and although there are some good ones to be smoked, nothing comes close to a good Cuban cigar IMO.

Ditto.

Well sir, it's been written that Cuban soil contains a trace element I like to call...LITHIUM! And somehow, this lovely metallic element finds it's way into the tobacco leaves used to make the fine puros that we all enjoy. Imagine that!
Now, you all know me, I'm just a simple mexicant hiding from immigration....errrr, I mean, living in SOM, MX! But even I know that putting something in writing doesn't necessarily make it so. Based on my personal experience and those of la familia Coro, however, I believe this to be true because no cigar, zilch, nada, that I've ever smoked satisfies like a fine Habana puro, including the very best NCs I've enjoyed!

But Hey! That's just me.

All that has been said, plus it sets you apart from non smokers and fag addicts in a big way (that sounds pretentious, but i do not care i smoke Cigars), so many people comment how they love the smell

My story -43 years old and never as much as took a drag from a cigarette in my life! At a party 18 months ago [after a good few beers!!] I tried a cigar and loved it. I now have a humidor and enjoy mostly Cubans. Never thought I would be able to know a good cigar from a bad one but I now can. What do I love most? If I had to some it in one word it be relaxation. I smoke 2-3 per week down in the shed in a rocking chair [I know, I know!!] classical music on and a nice whisky to boot. I love the feel of the gigar, the taste of the cigar and I love the whole image. I love the look on peoples faces when you light up a Robusto!! I enjoy a solitary smoke and I also love having a cigar in the company of a fellow cigar smoker. What's not to like about a cigar!!!!

[L_DOG]

For the taste mainly. Also it is a great relaxant for the weeks end. Some people have a masseuse, I have a cigar!

When I had a PSDN4 on Saturday night, I offered my brother to try it. He accepted and can see why I like it so much. Pretty much a Party in the mouth!

[Bad-Yeti]

Dear god this has me salivating to go home and light up....thanks guys

I love them because they love me. Unconditionally.

I agree with elements of what everyone has said, but I also enjoy the journey it has given me. Finding new cigars to try, creating HUGE wish-lists as hints for my better half to get me (its our anniversary next Tuesday so I am hoping to have a few new additions). And the collection side of things too.

This!

I think it's easy to distinguish that we all smoke cigars for similar reasons.

It's the escapism of smoking that does it for me. But I also love the thought that there is a story behind every cigar.

[M1F2R3]

I follow what Dan and Yeti said, the only time I have a cigar is when I want to achieve a state of complete and utter relaxation.

[TJCoro]

Something in the way she moves!

...the relaxation and the effect on the mood; If ever a scientist discovers that the Cuban tobacco contains a powerful anxiolytic molecule, I would say: I knew it!
