They do carry a warning @lozcb.
We don’t inhale cigar smoke, we just ‘taste it’
That doesn’t negate mouth and throat cancers of course.. but it’s far less severe than putting it in your lungs I’d wager.
I did smoke cigarettes for a while.. don’t remind me, was a bad stretch with an ex.
Once I recovered from ‘ex syndrome’ I was back on the cigars.
It is what I do for a living, along with wine, so I guess I justify it that way..

I always inhaled.

@Bebs quick question.
Why do some people cut the end off cigars and other spike them, is it a personal preference or does it vary with the type of cigar?

Morning Scaf,
It is entirely down to personal preference, although there are exceptions. For example with a Torpedo/Pyramide Figurado shape, which is tapered at the end, you cannot use a punch/spike type method.
I much prefer a clean cut.

Excellent! Welcome Seb.
There’s only a few of us on this cigar thread as it’s not the most popular subject. Nevertheless, I do try to post my smokes on a regular basis. Would be great to have another fellow smoker join in.
Fantastic looking humidor :)
