E-Cigar Turning Heads at CES

[stukibuilt]

Feel like a baller without the lung cancer? Wtf.... Your not supposed to inhale cigars!

They still list lung cancer as a potential risk factor for smoking cigars. There are guys who do inhale, though I don't know how they manage to keep from turning green.... Ha ha ha

I can't speak for most guys, but I personally smoke for the flavors and enjoyment, I wouldn't be caught dead sucking on nicotine vapor like an addict.

One of those guys at the e-cig booth in a mall stopped me and asked if I smoked. I told him, cigars only. He then tried to sell me on the e-cigar....right up until I asked him what flavor profile does it have? He stammered and said, well it tastes like a real cigar. Then I schooled him how each cigar is different and a flavor profile can change depending on the filler, binder and wrapper, not to mention how aging a cigar affects the flavors and enjoyment of smoking a cigar. After about 5 minutes he stopped me and said, "You could have just said that you weren't interested."

I replied, "Very true, I could have. But now that you are educated about how a cigar gets is flavor and what a cigar smoker looks for, you can explain to your company how their product lacks in comparison to a real cigar and let them try to figure out how to make it better. Until then, I'll leave you with this so you can experience the difference for yourself." and handed him a real cigar. I forget which one, but it was something that I couldn't care less if he smoked or not.

Not even remotely interested in something like this. I smoke cigars for the experience and enjoyment. I like, the look, the feel, the smell and the preparation ritual. Having a piece of plastic that looks like a cigar is worthless substitute.

EVP that is awesome. A lot of times I act like I don't speak English it's actually pretty funny.

I love how he acts like you wasted his time when really he is stopping ppl who are busy going places, he's trying to sell them something talking their ear off. Good for you Pete at least this way next time he won't even look you way.
