In many ways I’m a people-watcher; I can sit in a coffee shop and watch people for hours because they’re so fascinating. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m certainly not a peeping Tom, nor do I stalk people - I just watch people in the street and find the way they interact with others andthe world around them to be incredibly interesting.

I’m going to talk those four categories here and by the time I’ve finished I’m sure that you’ll be able to identify the category that you fall into. And just let me say at the start that you should not read any negativity into my comments about each category. We are all entitled to enjoy our cigars in whatever way we please and I have nothing against a guy who smokes one cigar a year or one cigar every hour.

Mr. Dabbler

This is the guy who dabbles in cigar smoking. It’s not a major part of his life and the chances are he doesn’t have any more than 10 cigars in his own private stash at home. He might smoke one now and again as a special treat- maybe friends and family give him a good quality cigar now and then as a gift- but he certainly doesn’t smoke a cigar every day or even every week.

If he likes to hang out with cigar smokers it’s more for the friendship than to pick up any tips on where to get the best. If cigar makers had to depend on business from people who dabble they would have all gone broke years ago.
