Inhaling?
OK, probably a dumb question, even for a rookie like me, but didn't see an answer anywhere.
Why are you not supposed to inhale a cigar? Is it just proper etiquette, or is there other reasons?
I am a cigarette smoker, and it just comes as second nature to do so. I catch myself doing it, and stop, but now I am wondering why I shouldn't be doing it.
Thanks all, and Merry Christmas.

And for the principal reason not to inhale, flavor notwithstanding, if you'd like, I could always post a photo of the scar in the center of my chest. I'm talking heart disease, my friend. And, yes, I used all the excuses any cigarette smoker ever uses to defend my habit. People always think of lung cancer in connection with smoking cigarettes but hardly anyone thinks of heart disease.
I could probably bore you for hours regarding the aspect of health and relevant statistics but suffice it to say that there is virtually no risk of either heart disease or cancer as long as you don't inhale your cigars.
Not if you have a look at the mortality statistics of cigarette smokers.
I like the way you think.
Put simply, your lungs are a filter, so inhaling the cigar actually filters out a large part of the subtlety and nuances of the bouquet of the cigar and drastically changes what it tastes like... specifically for me, made it much more bitter and peppery, both things I do not enjoy in a cigar. Try not inhaling, but work on retrohaling, ie. pushing the smoke out through your nose after you have blown out the first half of the smoke that you initially pulled into your mouth.
Not dissing them, just don't enjoy them personally. As a second thought here, to satisfy my little inhale craving I have an e-cig and really enjoy that too...want to learn more about them, p.m. me.
