Anyone only smoked cigars?

[jacques]

I gave up cigarettes 4 years ago. I never inhale cigars, but I have been smoking them during all my adult life so I'm used to the different smoking technique. Since quitting cigarettes I started to smoke at least 1 cigar/day. Cigars, even though I only puff them, surely have kept my nicotine addiciton alive. Oh well.

Honestly I think most people underrate the addictive nature of cigar smoking. In spite of all that connoisseurship, it still is a tobacco product. And that's one of the two main reasons I like it btw, the other one being the taste... (in cigarettes, you have only the drug effect)

I'm aiming to only smoke cigars. Just quit cigarettes and the thought of relaxing with a good cigar and a tumbler or spirits at the end of the week is all thats keeping me from buying a packet of cigarettes.

Horrible habit (fags), never start!

Tried cigarettes in my youth, but never liked them, used to nick a few of my Dad's hand rolled ciggies, but he never put in filter and they made me feel like crap.

Got on to cigars via King Teddies, that my Uncle used to bring back from his ship (ex. RN) Dad never smoked them, so I would "liberate" a stick now and then.

Just smoke good cigars now.

I smoke cigars and occasionally a pipe.

I have smoked 2 ciggies, and I bum puffed them. I was soooooo very drunk, I thought it would be like a cigar. Man I was wrong. My mouth tasted lke ass the next morning. And my clothes stank.

Tried a pipe many years ago, but was persuaded by my partner to get rid of it as it didnt quite suit me.

I have a mate who smokes 20+ minis a day but I have never been able to get on with them and prefer to smoke just one, large cigar each day...except on holidays when it goes up to 5 or 6 per day

I also smoke cigarettes as well as cigars but ive been working on quitting the fags, im down to just a couple a day now. Much prefer cigars though!

I smoke mainly mini's. The guy's on here I really admire are those who can reel-in their cigar smoking to maybe one a week or less. That is what I call smoking for the sheer pleasure of it and in a very gentlemanly way.

My hat goes off to them. Wish I could do it.

Not at all, i use a filter and its no different to smoking cigars.. in my opinion anyway as with a pipe you dont inhale into the lungs.

[Cigar-aficionado]

Do you not find the tobacco is heavy in tar when you smoke it in your pipe?

[eggopp]

Ive never smoked cigerettes, only ever smoked cigars on and off since maybe the mid 80s but more so now (daily) for the last several years.. However that said, ive recently started to use a pipe, what i do is when i get to the end of my cigar, i snip off the 'cooked' end and then with the butt i flake it up and smoke it in my pipe... no waste...

[Cigar-aficionado]

Never smoked cigarettes, just wonderful cigars....apart from starting with King Teddies that is
