So....don't watch. Sheesh. That's kind of like saying that wine tasting is a woman thing. That's horsecrap. If you have the palate to appreciate it, then you should enjoy it to its fullest.

As Sigmund Freud said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. It doesn't, er, stand in for anything else.

Here's a link that other ladies (and gentlemen) who smoke cigars may enjoy. Bay Gourmet Cigar Page

Little boys play with trucks, little girls play with dolls.

Older boys play football, older girls play volleyball.

Men smoke cigars, women smoke daintier things.

I personallly am not at all turned on by a woman with a cigar.

PS. I believe in male/female roles in society. Doesn't make my opinions popular.

This is the beauty of living in America. Every one is entitled to their own opinion.

No offense, but nobody except your wife is likely to want you to be personally turned on by what they are doing. I know that I would be pretty creeped out if some guy told me that he *was* turned on by it. I do hear that there are guys with this as a fetish. I just don't think I wanna herf with them.

And can you tell me how this comment is relevant to the topic... or necessary for that matter?

I think we all need to keep to the original topic and remind ourselves that we have female members here who may find some of the comments a bit degrading.

Thank you.

All discussions of snobbery and individuality in smoking aside, that is most definitely the wrong way to smoke a cigar. They are really best when taken orally.

I guess I have no real opinion about women smoking cigars. Cigars help me unwind; women often make me anxious. For me both are a private indulgence. ;-)

TanithT I wonder if you made the list?


This thread should get back on course, Dave does not mess around


Joe's (docroger) original post was I believe, to make the observation that
female cigar smokers are out there more then ever. Plus to make
the newer female cigar smokers here at Puff fell more at ease and
welcome (correct me if I am wrong Joe)

oh

Nicole Kidman smokes Ashton's, Cohiba and Montecristo No. 2's. I believe, among other brands

I doubt it.

I certainly do appreciate that. Thank you.

Cultural artifacts tend to be remarkably arbitrary. When America was originally founded, wearing a wig was an exclusively male domain. That paradigm has shifted, and now it's considered to be something only women do. Is there any logical reason for this? No, not really. There just seems to be a tendency for cultures to assign gender to iconic objects on a random basis. Generally the more primitive the culture, the less mutable the gender assignments are, even when they don't make any logical or practical sense.

Men wear "skirts" in Scotland, and it probably would not be a good idea to call the average wearer of the kilt and sporran effeminate. The traditional Middle Eastern robe is not bifurcated, and in other cultures might be called a "dress". In several indigenous cultures, pipe smoking is considered a strictly female affair; men do not partake. In our own culture, you can find men who will swear that wine and wine tasting is only for women and sissies; men drink beer and Scotch.

Cigars, and wine, on a fundamental level, are consumable works of art. To discourage the appreciation of such art based on gender is unsupportable. Interestingly enough, there are far more female "supertasters" than male, suggesting that the finer palates may well be found among women. Might this be a reason that some men are afraid to allow women into their august company, for fear of being "shown up" by a better palate?

In my humble opinion, life is far better if we can all enjoy the art of a good cigar together, each to our own taste and ability.
