3) getting rid of the smell... on you? or in the house? heck ill do both.
oops. forgot the house. orick makes a damn fine air purifier. candels work well ad so does fabreeze. personally, i dont smoke inside.
I second this don't smoke in the house, have you ever been in the house of someone that smokes cigars inside frequently? No thanks. Hotels, thats a different story .
But the truth is they can still cause cancer. It is a risk but one I'm wiling to take. I do a few things that in my mind alleviate the risks.
If humans lived forever over a long enough time line EVERYONE would eventually get cancer. everything causes cancer. you dont need to smoke to get lung cancer. you dont need to sit in the sun to get skin cancer. The fact of the matter is we dont live forever. when our time is up, we go. Eat right, excersize, still die. I dont want to go but its gunna happen at some point. im gunna smoke cigars as i go.
I agree that cigar smokers tend to be addicted to the hobby. As far as the health risks, let me state it another way. I'd never be a cigarette smoker because I don't like the risks involved. I smoke cigars. I believe there is an element of risk .... although I really like this stress hypothesis, and I will keep that in my back pocket
thanks, that helped alot. and yeah i dont really smoke in the house, i find sitting on the back patio with a fan blowing at the side of my face keeps the smoke form hitting my shirt, and fruit punch or gatorade is what i usualy drink. just that blasted aftertast is what i need to work on getting rid of.

Would you be speaking of the after taste of the Gatorade ?
I love the after taste of a good cigar !
I've never smoked a cigar that had what I would call a great aftertaste. Cigar mouth, IME, always reeks. My treatment -- and it's only a treatment, not a cure -- is a glass of cold milk and a few Pepperidge Farms Mint Milano cookies.
altoids cover for a moment. I eat and drink alot both before and after smoking. eating does it a bit. cigar mouth usually lasts less than a few hours for me.
i dont usually smoke more than one cigar in a day. But on the rare ocasion that i have, they were a few hours appart and the first one was more mild than the second. I find that if i smoke more than one a day my palate starts to get burned out.
I'm with you on that one kuzi. On the rare occasions that I smoke 2 in a day, they are usually 6-8 hours apart with one being in the early afternoon and one at night. I can't keep up anything like that though as I start to get burned out on one a day, let alone 2-3 a day.
Tonight I found, much to my surprise, that milk does indeed go well with a cigar. It was a Kahlua cigar, which may help... Am really looking forward to trying chocolate milk. Though some cigars have a bit of a chocolaty taste and I wonder if chocolate milk would hide or compliment this. Also tried root beer with an El Credito, which was also tasty... perhaps similar to cola.
I thought I read somewhere that a cigar has 100-400 times more nicotine than a cigarette. However, the fact that you're not inhaling will substantially reduce the amount that gets into the bloodstream.
well a lot of ppl think that cigarettes have a lot of other chemicals and things in them that make them more addicting so im sure there is a great amount of nicotine but i dont think that this will lead to any sort of dependence among cigars.
But the truth is they can still cause cancer. It is a risk but one I'm wiling to take. I do a few things that in my mind alleviate the risks. The tar and nicotine that sometimes comes off the cigar onto my mouth, I wipe this off my lips and spit to make sure I don't ingest this. I also rinse my mouth out after smoking. I can see the less stress thing though, usually, sometimes a plugged stick damn near sends me into cardiac arrest I'm so pissed.
Hahaha, I couldn't agree more about the plugged stick. Last one I had made me furious. Let me tell you, there is nothing like being at someone else's house and only having one stick on you, and being unable to draw from it. Very frustrating.
