I recently got into smoking cigars and I really like them. Does anyone else smoke cigars? What's your favorite?

I prefer to not slowly kill myself with poisons and toxinigans. But if I is did smoke (not vamping which would be my first choice) I would smoke cigars for the class.
I like smoking most things. The only thing I don't like is cigarettes.

You don't inhale cigars. Yes mouth cancer is still possible but depends on how you smoke. If its just here and there socially it's not going to kill you. If you chain smoke, I can't help you.

But you can't get flavor if no smoke goes in you, so some does go in you. And how do you get your nicotine fix with cigars?
No real nicotine fix in cigars. Just meant to enjoy the taste and be super classy :) And the smoke only goes in the mouth. No lung action their.

What? Taste buds are in your mouth, not your lungs.

Wait, then what's the point of cigars if smoke doesn't go inside you?
If you inhale cigar smoke you won't be happy, it'll make you sick if you aren't used to it.cigar smoke can be inhaled and you can get used to it but if you do it's actually much worse for use as cigars are unfiltered and larger than a cigarette.
And there is nicotine in cigars. You won't get as much if you don't inhale but there still is some,
Pipes bro! Class level just increased by 15! Just saying. I don't smoke but ciggaretts are just gross, and cigars aren't great, pipe smoke smells best IMO, I don't mind people around me smoking a pipe if they have good tobacco because the smell isn't irritating.
I'm not enough of an aficionado to say which cigar is good. Generally if it looks like a turd but smells like heaven it's gonna be great. Smoking a fat stogie makes for a great night with the guys but throw in a smoke ring contest and life just doesn't get better.

I know very little about tobacco pipes, but I'm pretty sure you inhale. If I'm wrong, I'll probably look into it, but yeah, I'm like 98% sure it hits the lungs.

I have a little cigar exposure from my coworkers, so here's some tips:
www.cigarsinternational.com
Way cheaper that buying singles from your local liquor store. Samplers are a good place to start, to find out what your taste is.
I like flavored cigars. Copper Labels are a more budget option, but I prefer Drew Estate Naturals (Root is my favorite).
Hookah is another smoker's option. Tastes great, doesn't stink up the room permanently, isn't harsh, and is a fun social activity, But it does require a lot of prep work, a little skill, and you can't take it to work, in your car, etc. Of course, this can also help prevent you from being a full-time smoker, as it is such a hassle...
The coals are very dangerous, so I must, for the record, advise that you don't drink and smoke hookah. I've spent many nights hanging with brothers and friends, rotating coals, passing the hose, and playing Magic.
My klutzy brother also burned several holes in my carpet with charcoal.

I really enjoy hookah. I'm actually going over to my friends place today to play magic and enjoy hookah :) I have like 4-5 smoke shops in my town, so I'll be going into each one to ask a few questions.

Smoke goes inside of you, whether it makes it to your lungs or not cn be a different story. And that's how much of a smoking ignoramus I am. I would like to keep it that way too. (Meaning I won't smoke and learn these things. I'm fine with talking about them)
Think of it like this. You take a bite of delicious cake, but don't swallow it so it doesn't go straight to your thighs :) same thing with cigars. It's terrible to inhale cigars because, as mentioned before, the have no filter and are SUPER harsh on the lungs. Vapors are fun, as is hookah, and I know very little about pipes(except that they are as classy as a top hat and monocle).
if u have a cigar u need a fedora shiney ring and watch and a suit with a pipe u still need a suit but u need a top hat and a pocket hanky

classy facial hair can substitute for a pocket hanky, though both are preferred.

I can confirm for you that you do NOT inhale smoke from a tobacco pipe. Treat the smoke like cigar smoke.

Concerts = hearing damage
With 11 years of playing in bands and going to shows, I can attest to this. My hearing is 💩 and only getting worse.

Well yeah. Obviously. It hasn't slowed me down any.
Thought I'd bump this topic since we've got some newer people on the forum :3

Wait, then what's the point of cigars if smoke doesn't go inside you?
The flavor and aroma isnt too great as was the reply to this. Its an 'im cooler and fancier than you' factor to a significant degree(deny all you want but its the truth! Like drinking red wine! It doesnt taste good but you feel superior! No judgment cuz i love cigars ;)) its a pasttime and something for people to bond over. Theres hardly a point besides its fun and entertaining!

You dont have to inhale anything bro, sometimes if im not feelin like inhaling ill puff hookah like a cigar, or a cigarette(well not now that i realized how gross they taste). But you can inhale pipes or not, whatever floats your boat! Hey, you could even puff on marijuana if youre just that rich and important(not condoning illegal activities).

I've got a pond in my back yard that I like to sit by and relax. All the better with a cold cup of back coffee and a(surprise surprise!) cigar.

Like I posted earlier, I like smoking most things ;)
Im just coverin my arse fellow smerkaberler ;)
I used to love cigars! I loved anything rocky Patel. All of it is great. I also really like pipes. The level of classiness/masculinity makes me feel as if I could wrestle a bear with one arm while wearing a velvet robe. But anyhow, I stopped smoking because my girlfriend has a thing about smoking (her parents smoke cigarettes and she hates it) so I kinda gave it up a couple months ago.
I bought a tabacco pipe yesterday, so I'll be enjoying that for a while. It's a savinelli churchwarden rustic 404 for anyone who's interested. Can anyone recommend any tobacco mixes or brands?

Now MisterJH I demand satisfaction. Red wines have richness and complexity that no other drink can approach. It does taste better, it's just in the nuance. And now I raise a dry red toast to your other more accurate assertions.

When I smoked my favorite one were Black (as the brand) & Black Cherry flavored. Yes its a small girly cigar but they are cloved cigars. They're always so fresh!!
I've been smoking cigars for the last five years. It's a great hobby but still cheaper than MTG.
