I'm Hooked on Cigars

Gotta say, never pictured myself for a cigar man. Never really smoked, tried first cigar at 30. Now in my mid 30's I've come back to them and it's definitely a little habit of mine.
I typicaly will only cut a 1/3 or 1/2 for the evining. It gives me that nice little buzz and helps me calm down and relax from the day especially if I had too much caffeine or just stressed out from day-to-day.
Was even able to reduce my beer habit, because the effect is comparable to 1-2 beers. I like the fact that it doesn't hamper my cardio and I don't have to cough up a lung since you don't inhale cigar smoke.
I don't smoke anything fancy, just generic brands, Perdomo, Punch and Macanudos(only when I run out of everything else). Any advice on better more smoothe brands?
Obviously cancer is something I'm aware of, but I'm kinda hoping that stress relief that smoking brings me will outweigh the harms.

Try Gurkha cigars. My go-to

Don’t cut your cigars in half. Buy smaller cigars. Get some Punch London Clubs. There’s a good cigar thread on the FDB.

Don't inhale cigar smoke?

Having grown up with a Grandfather with throat cancer and removal of his vocal cords) I recommend not smoking or using tobacco. I also lost a good friend recently to lung cancer. Just my plea to folks to avoid tobacco.

What does that mean?
Cigars are like wines or craft beer - there’s so many makes and models but it’s totally subjective. Whatever you like is what is good.

The more cigars you smoke the stronger you'll start to prefer them. I don't smoke as many as I used to but I'm a fan of La Flor Dominicana
Oliva makes some pretty good mild stuff

Biggest thing I can say is buy local. One of the more depressing parts of my old job was seeing just how bad off a lot of the local cigar places are due to online companies not charging excise tax due to not having "nexus".

I gave up my collection during a mid-life crisis. Don’t regret it at all.

Oliva, Garcia & Garcia, CAO, Monticrisco, and Rocky Patel are a few of my go-to’s. Cohiba is overrated, IMO. My best recommendation is to buy a sampler to fine tune the type of wrapper and the tones of the cigar you prefer.

That’s kind of like having a few adult beverages before you drive so that you’re more relaxed.

It probably does. There are far worse habits than cigars. I was having a glass of scotch every night for a while(which probably was hurting my wallet more than my liver). I would not worry too much about it.

I know a few baws that smoke these.
