I smoke cigars infrequently. I was given ten nice stogies for Christmas years ago, and I still have 3 in my humidor. My cigar cutter is so dull I use a razor blade to cut the end off to smoke. They're nice, but my problem is the time commitment. A medium sized cigar can be a good 45 minutes of smoking. I have a hard time just sitting there smoking that long. And I start craving ciggs even while smoking a cigar.

There's some pretty decent cigars out there if you enjoy tobacco. There's a lot of varietals of tobacco you only ever encounter in cigars. This is shredded whole leaf tobacco, and one used often for ciggs, but the other reason to buy whole leaf is for rolling cigars. I have a really strong wrapper I bought a while back and did some ciggs/cigars with a natural wrapper and sealed with egg whites. It was interesting, but not something I'd want as a daily smoke.

Yea, that’s interesting, how nuanced smoking is. I enjoy it.

Despite giving up several years ago, I miss the act of smoking. Recently, I had a cigar. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would and can see myself enjoying them more often.
