how many inhale when they smoke cigars?

[steve12553]

As someone who quit smoking cigarettes several times before quitting finally and eventually developing a taste for a decent cigar, I have inhaled cigars and fully understand why you shouldn't. With a cigarette the nicotine is brought in through the lungs along with all the other chemicals and addative (rumors of heroin and god knows what else). With a cigar the nicotine is taken in through the mouth, gently and in lower doses which is why you would like a cigar after lunch rather than need a fix as soon as you eat. I don't smoke when it's inconvenient, I smoke when it is relaxing. I used to enjoy about 5 cigarettes a day while smoking 30. I enjoy nearly all of my cigars.

Never inhale purposefully, but usually can't help take in a little while savoring the aroma.

Every once in a while I'll suck in a lungful - habit of being a cigarette smoker. But I've learned to just let it roll around before I exhale. Sometimes I'll blow it out through the nose, that opens up a whole new round of flavors. It really is a whole new experience.

Good girl! You will really miss out if you DON'T let it out through the nose sometimes.

I cannot inhale...it kills me.

My father, on the other hand, does inhale them. He smokes cigarettes and cigars, and to be quite honest, I think he just likes the cigars because they last longer! hah

I've always had everyone tell me not to inhale because it'll make me sick. I guess it all depends on your tolerance. I'll have to try it when I'm alone, so I don't go puking in front of anyone.

once in a long while at the intial hit I'll take a light inhale.

I smoke cigars for the taste.

No reason to inhale.

[justinphilly]

i cannot even imagine inhaling them..

[pierce652]

Nope, unless by accident.

Well, I attribute cigars to kicking my smoking habit. I learned that it hurt alot more when inhaling a cigar. Used to have a thompson in the morning and wouldn't want a cigarette, after awhile I stopped wanting them completely.

Gag choke...

I never intentionally inhale, but usually wind up inhaling a bit of leftover smoke.

I have a friend who inhales cigars, I figure his lungs must look like roofing tar.

I do the same thing-usually one draw off of a cigar I inhale a little of the smoke. No way could I inhale every time!

Every once in a while - if I know it's a MILD smoke that won't make me keel over coughing... Being a reformed cigarette smoker, I sometimes "forget"... And by habit, I inhale. If it's a really strong cigar, it usually hurts pretty bad.
But I've found that with milder cigars, inhaling offers a different taste spectrum... But as far as inhaling on EVERY draw - no way. MAYBE once or twice per mild cigar, but that's it.
