Hobby, leisure ,taste or something else.

Whats up my fellow BOTL'ers & SOTL'ers,

Just wanted to know what's the single most satisfying reason why you smoke cigars. We know they taste good....and I wouldn't think about considering this a habit so? I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started smoking, but I can say this I glad I did. I don't smoke everyday I didn't want it to get routine, so I smoke 1-2 sticks a week mostly weekends. Single most important adjective to describe my experience is *Relaxing* but that's just me.

It's the best time to unwind and relax. Nothing can compare to that.

If something you do every day qualifies as a "habit", then maybe I have a habit of doing something at least once a day that's just for me, that helps me unwind, relax, and enjoy life for a bit. I call it relaxing on purpose. I highly recommend it!

Because I like my nicotine delivered in a flavorful and powerful package.

 

[whodeeni]

Very relaxing...

 

[Fourtotheflush]

Totally go with relaxation, then taste.

 

[GoingPostal]

for me its relaxation and sharing time with friends.

It's a relaxing, almost meditative, time for me.

I find it relaxing too. I have met a ton of great guys through cigar smoking. It kind of keeps me in the moment, you can only smoke a cigar once and for a lot of LE smokes, once you are out, they are gone forever. It also makes me a lot more understanding about how other people choose to spend their money. How can I judge them when I pay $5-$15 for something and then set it on fire? haha

Hobby and taste mostly. For me personally, I get so much more out of a cigar when I stop and take the time to enjoy and try to identify everything going on with each draw.

keeps me out of the bell tower

I love to burn money. jk, for me, cigar smoking is a way to escape the stress of everyday life.

Relaxation is the primary reason I grab a cigar.

Taste and exploration are the primary reasons I enjoy (or don't) any given stick.

Variety is the Spice of Life when it comes to cigars and the many friends that I have made as a result of my love for cigars!

[Greyghost]

Relaxation, me time or with friends.

 

[Pietastervw]

Relaxation myself. Great on the ride home from work. Tends to keep the road rage down too.

 

[Speedboy]

Taste and relaxation!

 

[DLP036]

When enjoying a cigar everything slows down to a pace that I wish I could live my whole life at. The taste and the hobby is just a plus..

 

[dpricenator]
