Cigar Page is the best thing going right now. Their specials are insane compared to the rest of the cigar business. It's owned by the guy who founded Cigar International, and sold it, along with the Oliva family.
Thus their deals, especially on Oliva are always strong. Their "Overruns" are also cheaper than much on the market right now, and they are quite good, especially for the price. Just my experience in 27 years smoking, now; as one who looks for the best cigars at the best prices. I don't normally shell out for the biggest name or most trendy name cigars.

I enjoy the smell of a pipe but, find it hard to keep one lit. I thought it was just me but, have had multiple people tell me they got tired of having to constantly relight also.
I have read this but I have no issue at all keeping mine lit. I just pack it down, Light it once, Pack it again, Light it a second time and if it doesn't stay lit at that point, I pack it one more time and it always stays lit by the 3rd try.
Now one of my tips is that you have to hit it rather frequently. If you are having a convo and don't hit it for a little bit, it will go out. But if you're hitting it every 30 seconds or so, it should stay lit.

If you like the stuff that Steve Saka does, give the Red Meat Lovers a try. It's one of the best cigars I've had in the last few months.

Once in a blue moon I'll have one during a special occasion, but they smell so bad and give me headaches I should probably just 100% give them up.

Go on Thompson cigars website and get you a variety pack. When I stop smoking I found I like chewing on cigars.

Thanks for the tips.

I hate them. Had one the other weekend at a wedding and am always reminded how terrible they are
Would much rather smoke a cig if I’m going to smoke something

I'd never be one to tell you how you should deal with your addiction, but I will say as a cigar smoker, its enjoyable. It may or may not be compatible with how you like to smoke-- that's virtually impossible to say. It is decidedly different-- even a small stogie is going to be a 45 minute commitment, something you'd have to adjust to before anything else.
I like them when I work, I like them when I relax with a drink, I like them when I'm thinking over a difficult problem.
One piece of advice, though, if you do try a cigar-- don't go super duper cheap. Yeah, low end hand rolled are fine, but if you are smoking Black and Milds or Dutch Masters, you are getting the quality equivalent of a house salad and white bread experience at a fine dining establishment-- you aren't even touching the real menu.

I bought 2, and smoked one…..Didn’t care for it.
Imma let the other one age in my humidor for a few months before trying it again.

Recently quit cigarettes but still have cravings. I’m thinking about buying a cheap cigar. Is there much of a nicotine buzz? I don’t drink anymore so pairing it with alcohol means nothing to me.
I quit cigs about 30 years ago. I was listening to a radio show about cigars and some guy called in with your question. The host recommended not smoking cigs for at least a year before you tried a cigar, and don't inhale.
That's what I did. Still haven't smoked another cig and the cravings went away after the first cigar. I don't smoke them that often now, but I do occasionally enjoy one. You just want to have enough time and a good place to adequately enjoy one.

Cigars and cigarettes aren’t similar at all. One is a pure, premium, handmade product. The other is a quick fix for an addiction - mass produced and chemical filled garbage.
Enjoy a premium hand rolled cigar. Relax. Don’t inhale. There’s been studies showing that cigar smokers do not have any significant increase in mortality over non-smokers. The FDA lost a lawsuit over labeling premium tobacco products with surgeon general warnings due to not following their own studies about the risks of cigars.

Any type of smoking tobacco is nasty as frick. Vaping is the way to go.

I do enjoy a good cigar. Just got back from the DR and brought a bunch back. I only smoke on a Friday / Saturday so they'll last me a long time. It's just one of the finer things in life IMO.

The hardest part of vaping is everyone else knowing you're gay before you do.
