Is it Nicaraguan
Is it just me or was the writer here speaking out of both sides of his mouth was the subject line of this article intentionally misleading?

Ummm...not sure about the talking out both sides of the mouth, but I'll say this, whoever wrote it needs an editor. Damn. That's one of the most poorly written pieces I've seen in a while. Just plane hard to read.
Back to the specific topic, the following line leads me to believe this is someone not actually involved in the hobby:
All of that being said, I don't think they were misleading or talking out of both sides of the mouth. The title is poorly worded, but it's a hook. The article is meant to warn that smoking a cigar is still dangerous.

Either they didn't word their sentence properly (quite likely based on the rest of the article), they don't know anything about 'cigar smokers', or I don't know what I think I do. Maybe I'm an anomaly, but I thought I was pretty typical for a cigar smoker in that I simply do NOT inhale unless by accident (and I can count the number of times that's happened on one hand). I don't retrohale as I never got the hang of it, and I realize that doing so introduces smoke into the sinus cavity, but again, we aren't talking true "inhaling" here. If the author is simply talking about the inevitable inhalation of second hand smoke, well, yeah. I can't argue that point. But to compare that to a cigarette smoker's inhaling is way off base.

The article failed to mention the widely known fact that if you don't keep your cigars under lock and key, the smokes will actually light themselves up. After they have blown smoke into the crying faces of the neighborhood children, they will find an "assault rifle" and an SUV to team up with and go on a gas guzzling, second hand smoke rampage.
I punched myself in the face as a result of reading that article. I knew I should've stopped after reading the title.
Just for kicks I checked some other posts by "Celebration". I bet the same person wrote this http://www.bspcn.com/2009/07/02/best-first-page-of-any-book-ever/

I hate these articles because they never have studies that are just on cigar smokers. They always bring in cigarettes. I hate cigarettes and have never smoked them but for some reason all these articles use studies that are about cigarettes and cigars and never just someone who smokes only cigars.
