Ramblings from a nonsmoking cigar newbie in Austin, TX
Hi there.

I have always been an adamant nonsmoker my whole life, especially with respect to cigarettes, though I always have enjoyed the aroma of a nice pipe or cigar when I come across it.

Well, I have started to light up a cigar on weekend evenings a couple of times a month, just for grins.

I have probably smoked about 10 cigars over the last 2 months, and for the most part, after each smoke, have brushed teeth, flossed, repeated, showered and scrubbed, saying to myself "What *am* I doing? Never again!" Especially after a brutal (at least to me) nicotine buzz.

However, there were 1 or 2 smokes I think I may have actually enjoyed, or at least tolerated. And I still find myself looking at my small stash, wondering which will be the next cigar to try.

I'm not sure how long this is going to last (and I still consider myself a nonsmoker, rather odd, huh?). But for now, I am patronizing my local B&M a few times a month, and even have made myself a tupperdor containing a Boveda pack, a digital thermo/hygro/meter, and a handful of cigars. I amaze myself.

Still don't like cigarettes

This may be some bad logic but I love cigars, but wouldnt touch a cigarette with a 10 foot poll.

But Welcome!

I'll have to try that sugar deal, driving home from the beach with a killer buzz doesn't making me feel too comfortable.

I wouldn't touch Cigs either...
