What do you love about smoking cigars?

[Simon-JG-hr]

Glad to hear it chaps! I'll look at getting something organised, hopefully in November (should give enough leeway incase there are any further overruns with the new room at JJF). Hopefully will have a date for you to hold by this time in August (busy couple of weeks prepping for the Game Fair).

I've missed a couple recently, yes. Hope everyone had a good time though. Definitely the best part of cigars - sharing the enjoyment!

Nice thread and Ditto all the comments...though less gets done around the house these days !

Mo, get real. You like to do lots of things with cigars, smoking is just their cremation.

Would it be wrong to say i just like smoking cigars

I have been considering how to answer this question without writing an essay so to put it briefly. first & foremost the taste (don't think anyone else mentioned that?). Secondly relaxation. Thirdly the shared love of cigars through this forum & others, especially getting together in person, it's always worth the effort!

You are such a gent Simon. Without the joint enjoyment I get from having people in my life that share my enjoyment in cigars the enjoyment would be, well less enjoyable.
Too much repetition of vocab?

No

I can't disagree with anything that's already been written - it all plays a part for me. I love that in such a hectic world lighting up a cigar forces an hour or so of relaxation, contemplation, and reflection. I also love the rituals that go with keeping and smoking cigars, along with an interest in the history and culture. Then there's the flavour, of course, as Simon and Seegarnub have mentioned - I love the mystery and the challenge of eeking out the different nuances and really enjoying the depth and complexity of a natural and handmade product.

Finally, there's the camaraderie amongst the cigar smoking fraternity. I've met some wonderful BOTLs over the years, each and every one an interesting and generous person. Old friends who you can always pick up a conversation with even if you haven't seen each other for a year or more.

I mentioned the flavours, as trying to distinguish them all is something I really enjoy, as well as loving the actual base tobacco taste.
